Avishock - Electric Bird Deterrent

AVISHOCK™, Electric Bird Deterrent System provides a hugely valuable new professional management option alongside traditional bird spikes, bird nets and birdwire - proven not to harm birds.
If you have been wondering how to get rid of pigeons and other nuisance birds this could be a perfect solution.

Strictly speaking AVISHOCK™ is not actually bird proofing because it doesn’t present a physical bird barrier. Nor is it a scaring device in the conventional visual or audio sense. Instead, it modifies the behaviour of urban birds by touch, acting as an electric bird deterrent, deterring them from loafing, roosting or nesting on ledges with a harmless but disconcerting electric shock which acts as a bird barrier in just the same way electric fencing manages farm livestock.

AVISHOCK™ stands out as:

• Highly effective way to get rid of pigeons and other bird species at all infestation pressures on ledges, edges, parapets, beams and roof peaks for easy specification to meet a wide range of proofing needs.
• The lowest profile bird management system available. Unlike a typical bird barrier i.e. spikes its hardly noticeable at close quarters and virtually invisible at any distance for meeting challenging architect specifications and protecting visually sensitive locations.
• Uniquely flexible to bend round undulations, curves and corners for practical protection of signs, statues and other difficult or impossible to proof sites.
• Highly specified electric bird deterrent - a track consisting of stainless steel braids sewn onto a flexible, UV stabilised plastic, purpose built connectors and quality, weatherproof energisers for reliable service over a long lifetime.

Relative material costs mean spikes, nets and other forms of bird barrier will continue to be the preferred method of how to get rid of pigeons, seagulls and other nusiance birds in less sensitive areas and applications. Unlike physical proofing and bird barrier measures AVISHOCK™ electric bird deterrent requires a mains power source, should not be operated where it could cause people to fall if startled by touching it, and can profit from quarterly inspection to ensure it continues to operate at peak efficiency. It comes complete with independent trials evidence demonstrating it complies with UK legislation, and a positive reception from Natural England, the Scottish Government, Welsh Assembly, Northern Ireland Office, RSPB, RSPCA and SSPCA as well as from HSE in safety at work terms.

AVISHOCK™ is a comprehensive family of parts that make up a fully integrated electric bird deterrent system. Its elements protect almost any architectural configuration from birds. Special Connectors, Lead Wires, Energiser and the Flex-Track itself can be configured to protect both regular and irregular shaped elements. Flex-Track is glued on the leading edge of a ledge, or appropriately where determined necessary by the installer, based on bird species and bird pressure. The Energiser supplies the Flex-Track with an intermittent pulse of high voltage, low amperage electricity. The pulse of electricity does not harm the birds; it simply conditions them not to return to that area. Heavily insulated, copper Lead Wire delivers the intermittent pulse from the Energiser to the Flex-Track.
AVISHOCK™ only becomes ‘live’ when Flex-Track is connected to the Energiser and the Energiser is plugged in.
