Bird Free® is a highly effective and humane bird deterrent and repellent solution, authorised for use in the UK. Unlike traditional bird proofing, this discreet optical gel can be installed on a wide range of surfaces – including narrow ledges, pipes, signs, and hard-to-reach areas – where spikes and nets may not be practical. The gel works by targeting a bird’s senses: it appears as fire to their ultraviolet-sensitive vision, emits an unpleasant peppermint scent, and provides a sticky texture that birds avoid. This combination ensures that birds are repelled without harm, making it an ideal choice for various settings.
Professional pest controllers across the UK and internationally rely on Bird Free® because it delivers fast, effective, and long-lasting results – even in areas where traditional bird control methods fall short. Unlike bulky traditional proofing, Bird Free offers a discreet and adaptable solution that’s easy to install and requires minimal maintenance.
By deterring birds quickly and humanely without causing them harm, Bird Free® helps pest control professionals protect buildings, improve hygiene standards, and satisfy clients.
