We’ve been regularly called in to building clean – bird droppings at this inner suburban business car park over the past couple of years.
The Body Corporate’s attempts to address the problem which involved installing spikes on all conceivable landing spots, including the overhead pipes has failed to deter them from entering the car park.
In a last ditch bid they’ve had sensor alarms fitted which emit high decibel bird screeches reminiscent of the Alfred Hitchcock movie “The Birds” to deal with these intruders.
However, as can be seen from the first photo below, our feathered friends are not phased, and continued trespassing, even while we worked.
I find new technology fascinating and couldn’t resist capturing the remote controlled cameras during a visit to watch the Lions play the Tigers at the MCG a couple of years ago.
The seagull problem at this venue has been tackled on a number of fronts including installation of wires and introduction of a “bully” Peregrine Falcon but the birds have prevailed.
Generally bird spikes are adequate deterrent as they prevent, particularly pigeons, from nesting in unwanted places.
New vehicle storage is not an option here regrettably
This photo was taken at a new vehicle storage warehouse in February 2019
The concrete cleaned up OK but the vehicles had to remain in the open to preserve the paintwork since netting installation proved far too expensive.
We are happy to assess your bird problems and provide a solution but the jury’s still out on electronic alarms for us at least.
