Landfill and junkyard owners have a consistent problem with scavenger pest birds. Easy access to litter, garbage and food remnants are easy targets for hungry birds and other pest animals. Birds infestations at these sites pose a greater challenge to effective landfill bird control methods. Large bird infestions at landfills can pose serious health risks for workers. Bird droppings can lead to respiratory problems and other diseases. Sometimes bird populations grow so large over landfill sites that workers are being "bird bombed" directly from the sky. Also, the acidic corrosion in bird droppings can damage equipment and cause deterioration.
Unattended bird problems can give the perception that the site is not being maintained properly. The problem can become significantly greater if a filed complaint warrants a Regulator to make an unannounced site visit. Avoid potential fines,, penalties and community complaints by reviewing the strategies and recommended bird deterrents below to keep your bird problem under control at your site. |

Landfill and Junkyard Bird Control Strategies
Our recommended landfill bird deterrent products are a safe and humane way to repel pest birds away from landfill and junkyard sites. Typically, effective landfill bird control requires combining more than one method of bird deterrent like using an electronic bird repeller or bird hazer with visual scare devices. Some preventative measures can be taken by the site operator like sealing off food sources. Some landfill sites have implemented a bagging system to cover waste as it comes in. Falcons are a natural bird hunter! Some site owners have implemented a program to repel birds where trained falcons fly over the area. If you can afford the cost of a professional Falconer, great! If not, our sonic bird repellers, that use digital recordings of real predator bird harassment sounds, may be a more affordable bird control solution. |

Bird netting is one of the oldest and most effective methods of bird exclusion and can protect large areas from bird entry.
