Favorable temperatures, ample availability of stable food sources and the absence of predators have favored the establishment of pigeons in the city.
However, the
overpopulation of city pigeons
can have important consequences for the urban environment, with damage to monuments and buildings, industrial production.
In addition, the presence of an
infestation in place
can be
dangerous to health
because of the possibility of transmission of pathogenic vectors and parasites.
Therefore, increasingly there is a need for the use of tools to ward off birds. Among them, Birdfree is the best pigeon and bird deterrent, successfully installed at numerous sites.
Evaluation of Mortality and Palatability on “Brocum Fioccato:
The pigeon, understood as a native wild species (
Columba livia
), is identified as a member of Italian wildlife and protected by Ordinary Law no. 157/1992 for wild species.
Today, the problems related to their presence in urban environments require the adoption of a
pigeon population control plan
, the implementation of which of interventions aimed at containing the number of individuals is the responsibility of municipal governments.
The Emilia-Romagna Region recently approved a five-year Pigeon Control Plan for the Emilia-Romagna region, which specifies the need to adopt alternative, bloodless methods of prevention or deterrence to prevent infestations.
Birdfree, l’unico gel ottico repellente per uccelli autorizzato in tutta l’UE, è un sistema cruelty free basato sul comportamento dei volatili.
Il sistema elimina le infestazioni più gravi e previene il ritorno dei piccioni nei luoghi precedentemente occupati.
Provato ed efficace anche in ambienti con inquinamento, l’installazione di Birdfree non necessita di modifiche all’infrastruttura, né di manutenzione.
Il gel ottico agisce sui sensi dei piccioni per allontanarli, ottenendo un effetto deterrente di lunga durata:
In questo modo i volatili sono scoraggiati dal tornare i loro nidi e posatoi notturni, che ora vedono come ambienti non più abitabili.
DISCOVER MORENumerous successful cases have demonstrated the effectiveness of
Birdfree
In pigeon removal, in Italy and the EU. Among them, we report the
results obtained almost six years later
following the installation of
Birdfree
on the historic
Karstadt building in Hamburg
in April 2014.
Dto many years pigeons roosted on the facade of this protected building. Medical offices on the first and second floors could not open their windows because of the stench of pigeon droppings.
In April 2014, the building was cleared of droppings and
Bird Free
was applied to the surfaces and particularly the recessed ledges of the building, which offered more shelter to pigeons.
In February 2020, a customer inspection confirmed that the pigeons did not return although the gel trays had blackened from pollution .
