Ducks and Geese are always close to the water which means they are often on your boats or docks as well. They mostly get on board boats at night or at sunset and rest up for the night . During this time they leave unwanted food and poop behind.

The products that are specifically designed for this problem are the Gullsweep  and the Hydro blaster water scarecrow.

The Gullsweep is great at creating a barrier where the birds cant alight or land on . The constant movement creates confusion and fear in the bird.

Bird inhibitors

Bird inhibitors are products that stop, restrict or do not enable birds to swoop and land on particular objects. Many of these have been developed since 2005 and there are a large range of products available on the market today, we are going to have a look at a few of the products to give an overview of what they are like what they should be used for.

Gullsweep or Birds Off Repeller.

This is a particularly successful product that was developed and the 1970s to stop birds landing on boats. It is wind powered and the arms rotate when exposed to Web. Birds don’t like movement as they perceive that as a threat. Fear of the unknown translates into the bird and they often take flight. These products are very clever and come in a range of sizes with a large range of options to Melbourne. They have been commercially developed to allow them to be adapted to restaurants, houses, docks, jetties and anywhere that has problems with larger type of birds such as seagulls, cormorants, shacks, ducts.

We give this particular product a five-star rating as long as it is used against medium to large sized birds and not for small birds like starlings and sparrows will stop

Bird spider

Again this is another successful product that inhibits or restricts the birds from stripping and landing on specific areas. Large stainless steel arms balance and move around in the breeze to confuse and inhibit birds landing. Movement triggers fear in the birds sufficiently for them to feel threatened and forced them to move on. This product comes in a range of sizes with different mounting options which makes for a very good round of product.

We give this particular product a 4 1/2 star rating when used against medium to large sized birds in restricted areas not large open spaces. We have seen this product this use whereby the user expects 16 or eight-foot wide bird spider to deter birds landing on large 40 x 80′ loading or dock areas. This product is not a visual deterrent it is a bird inhibitor and therefore should be used in restricted spaces only.

If you find the ducks are grazing on your land, surrounding property, consider Bird Stop product that is a taste aversion product. You can spray it on to your yard or garden and it keeps the grazing ducks off the grass with its bad taste. It can last up to 4 weeks and it a great commercial product.
