Photo Album: Deterring Birds from the Back Porch in Manasquan, NJ
This homeowner in Manasquan, NJ had enough of nuisance birds turning his back porch into a rest area!
Above the Girder
The nuisance birds were roosting and nesting above the girder on the rear porch...
Nothing but Bird Poop
...and defecating all over the area.
Remove & Disinfect
First, we carefully removed the birds' nesting materials and disinfected the area.
Optical Gel
Next, we installed optical gel along the beams throughout the porch to deter the nuisance birds.
How the Optical Gel Works
The optical gel is a multi-sensory bird repellant that deters birds using sight, smell, and touch. As a visual deterrent, the birds see a UV spectrum that, to them, looks like fire or smoke (although there isn't any). As a smell deterrent, the optical gel gives off a cayenne pepper or peppermint odor that the birds hate; and as a touch deterrent, the optical gel has a tacky feel to it that the birds dislike.
