|
|
|

guide for more information) |
|
|
|
|
Is Bird Free

|
|
|
How does it
differ from other Bird Gels? |
|
|
Vastly! - Bird free Fire
Gel is an effective, "3 Way Repellent" that
deters birds from the protected area by means of 3 sensory
elements; Visual (birds see the "UV" light emanating
from the product, which to them makes the gel look like Fire),
Taste & Smell, and Touch (see Bird-Free-Intro
for more details)
The alternative products include;
A simple sticky gel that is applied directly
to window ledges, etc. As it only tackle the birds "Touch
Sense", It is not very effective (and is rather messy),
and even the manufacturers recommend re-applying the gel every
few months - a costly exercise!
Historically there was also a chemical based
gel on the market, but as it caused injury to birds feet, it
was eventually withdrawn from sale |
|
|
|
|
How quickly will
the birds be gone? |
|
|
Based on thousands of
installations worldwide, provided that the installation is
carried out as per the manufacturers installation guide, birds
disappear almost instantly, (see Case
Studies - Car Parks for recent UK examples of instant
results) |
|
|
|
|
If the product
won't burst into flame, why is it called Bird Free Fire Gel? |
|
|
Humans simply see the gel as a
yellow jelly like substance, but birds see the UV (Ultra
Violet) light reflected from the product (harmless and
invisible to the human eye), which to them looks like fire and
therefore an area to avoid.
Note: "Bird Free Fire Gel"
is nothing to do with and nothing like fire lighter Fire Gel
which is a product specifically designed to help start
barbeques, etc. |
|
|
|
|
Will Bird Free
Fire Gel harm birds or other animals? |
|
|
No - the main deterrent for birds
is the UV visual deterrent and they also find the taste and
smell abhorrent. Direct physical contact with the Gel by
birds, (or animals or humans) won't cause lasting injury but
will cause a temporary but unpleasant stinging sensation
(similar to stinging nettle contact on humans), which will
cause discomfort until the effect wears off (see; Installer
Guide for more information on safety, etc) |
|
|
|
|
Is Bird Free Fire
Gel Cost Effective? |
|
|
Yes - which is why there are
already over 1,000 governments and large companies in Korea
and Japan alone making extensive use of the product (see; Case
Studies) |
|
|
|
|
How long will
Bird Free remain effective? |
|
|
The manufacturers offer a 2 year
guarantee where the product has been installed as per the
installation guide, but there are many installations where the
the product is still keeping birds away over 4 years after it
was installed (see; Case
Studies) |
|
|
|
|
Is Bird Free
suitable for DIY installation, or must it be professionally
installed? |
|
|
Bird Free is suitable for DIY or
Professional use. The key to a successful installation, is to
follow the simple steps set out in the Installer Guide. Some
simple safety precautions such as use of eye protection,
suitable dust mask, etc. as set out in the Installer Guide are
recommended for any type of installer - DIY or Professional. |
