Capital Restoration installs a variety of bird control products. Different bird control products work for different birds under different situations. One important item to note is bird pressure, that is, how determined a bird is to remain in the area. Here is a brief definition of bird pressure:
Heavy Pressure: The bird is nesting or roosting at this site and there is generally a food or water source nearby.
Medium Pressure: This is most likely a food or afternoon resting site, but they do not nest or roost there.
Light Pressure: There is no food source or sheltered area at site and the birds stop there briefly during the day.
Once we have determined the bird pressure at your problem site, your bird species, their habits and your aesthetic tastes, we can select the product that works best for your bird problem. All of the bird control products listed below humanely deter problem birds.
Bird netting is the strongest and most versatile bird exclusion system in the world. Birdnet denies pest birds access to any architectural configuration including outdoor courtyards, rooftops, overhangs, parking garages, airport hangars and more. It is also useful for pest bird exclusion for aquaculture and agriculture applications.
How It Works:
Bird netting consists of high density polyethylene twine that is twisted and knotted to form a strong impenetrable bird barrier to pest birds. The coloring and U.V. treatment are embedded in the composition, making the bird net more resistant to the effects of the sun with a more consistent coloring throughout.
A cable support structure is installed on the structure with steel attachments applicable to the substrate. The bird netting is then stretched tight and attached to the cable support structure with steel bird net rings, forming a tight, solid, impenetrable bird barrier to humanely exclude the targeted pest bird species.
Bird pressure level:
For light to heavy bird pressure areas.
Target Birds:
Different mesh sizes to exclude all pest bird species
Material:
Polyethylene twine and steel installation hardware
Advantages of Bird Net:

The Airport Bird Wailer MkIIIb is an airport bird control device that causes problem birds to move away from airport runways, and helipads, using electronic sounds, distress and alarm calls and predator attack cries. This system creates an uncomfortable and disagreeable environment for most bird species.
Electronic and natural sounds are emitted at irregular intervals for variable lengths of time, preventing problem birds from growing accustomed to these sounds.
This airport bird control product will keep problem birds away from runways and other open airport areas without interfering with radio traffic. Customizable to dissuade any pest bird species, this technical airport bird control product ends bird strikes and protects other airport property like signs and lights from pest bird damage.
A system based on an exclusive approach
The Airport Bird Wailer MkIIIb differs from competing bird scare products in that it causes birds to move away gradually, rather than startling them and driving them off, only to have the birds return later. The Airport Bird Wailer MkIIIb does not involve the use of chemicals, requires no propane, explosives or guns, can be operated 24 hours a day, and is inexpensive to run. Its effectiveness rate varies between 80 and 90 % depending on the problem bird species. It should be considered a core system in any bird deterrent program for airport runways.
Reduces the risk of strikes
Birds pose a safety threat to airplanes, especially during landing and take-off. When birds strike an aircraft travelling at high speed, the impact can sometimes be impressive. The ensuing damages are often substantial, in terms of both financial losses and loss of life. The Airport Bird Wailer MkIIIb was designed to help correct this situation.
Unique characteristics
Program that includes 100 different electronic sounds to deter problem birds around airports
Emits natural bird calls (alarm and distress calls) and attack calls indigenous to the area
Compact bird control system with no moving parts
Easy to program: the bird deterrent unit has two buttons and an electronic display
Environmentally friendly airport bird deterrent
Adjustable volume for use near built-up areas of airports
Unit can be switched on and off using a 24-hour timer or a light sensor
Operates on 12 VDC or 110/220 VAC
The Airport Bird Wailer bird deterrent system has been deployed in a number of major airports here in the United States as well as internationally. All users unanimously agree on the reliability and effectiveness of the Wailer airport bird control system which can combine the sounds according to the target species.
The Bird Wailer MkIIIa is a state of the art electronic bird deterrent that moves pest birds by creating a "no comfort" zone causing specific species to flee the area. The Agricultural Bird Wailer MkIIIa deters birds from fruit crops, arable crops, fish farms, buildings and mine tailings pond.
The Bird Wailer MkIIIa bird repellent replaces ultrasounds with natural sounds. This is especially useful as certain species are resistant to the regular electronic sounds by themselves. The Bird Wailer MkIIIa bird deterrent incorporates up to 34 natural sounds in its memory, such as target pest bird alarm and distress calls, followed by cries of a natural predator and then a distress call of the target pest bird. This creates a “no comfort” zone that bird will not enter for fear of their own survival. The Bird Wailer System is flexible since many birds that cause problems can be deterred by their own cries without using the loud electronic sounds. This is particularly significant for use in noise sensitive areas such as residential areas.
Because birds and some animals habituate to repetitive sounds, the Bird Wailer System incorporates up to 95 seconds of natural sounds plus 100 electronic sounds that can be programmed at random. An impression of surround sound is created by electronically moving the many different combinations of audio sounds and natural sounds randomly from speaker to speaker for varying durations, at varying intervals. This unique feature lessens the likelihood of pest birds becoming familiar with a pattern. This is known as habituation, which often happens with conventional bird scare devices.
The Bird Wailer MkIIIa bird deterrent features:
Electronic unit with 6 mounted speakers:
2 high frequency+ 4 low frequency
Four outlets for up to 8 additional remote speakers
