Bird Spiders Can Keep Birds off Rooftop A.C. Units

Let's say you run a food storage facility or warehouse. You probably have it packed most of the time with all types of food that must be temperature maintained to avoid spoilage. That means you'll really be dependant on your rooftop A.C. units to work full time, especially during the upcoming summer months. Heaven forbid something should cause them to shut down--even for a few hours. You've got to do whatever it takes to keep those units running at peak efficiency. Unfortunately, pest birds don't share your enthusiasm.

Problem: With spring almost upon us, pest birds will be scouting out new locations for nesting and roosting. Birds, as we know, love to gather on rooftops. When they build nests near rooftop A.C. units, they leave droppings, feathers and other debris in and around them. This debris can clog outside coil vents, intake blower vents, and output fans, creating all sorts of problems. Bird debris also makes perfect kindling for starting a fire. A fire that's easily ignited by a spark created when bird droppings eventually eat through your rooftop 220 V or 440 V wiring. Either way, without effective bird control, you're faced with some very expensive repair and maintenance costs.

As you've, no doubt, painfully learned over the years, rooftop A.C. units are not cheap. They can run anywhere from 15,000 to $90,000. Costs to clean and repair these systems can be equally prohibitive--running anywhere from $75 to $95 per hour--and that's not including parts, which can easily run into the thousands of dollars. But let's say you're mister moneybags and you can afford that in the midst of this recession. There's still the matter of A.C. downtime. Even if it's only for a few hours, imagine the costs of food spoilage.

The Solution: There are a number of ways you can keep birds off your rooftop. You could use poisons or BB guns, but do you really want dead birds on and around you're A.C units? Didn't think so. Humane and effectivethat's what you need to keep pest birds off your roof and away from you're A.C. units. And the solution many have picked is the Bird Spider.

Ideal for use on rooftop A.C. units and other machinery, bird spiders have stainless steel "arms" that whip around in the breeze to prevent pest birds from landing. They're easy to mount on virtually any flat surface. And they come in various sizes--usually 2-, 4- and 8-foot diameter arm lengths to cover large areas and deter a wide variety of bird types.

A key point is that bird spiders are relatively inexpensive and ideal for use against pigeons, seagulls, and larger birds. They are easy to install and virtually maintenance free, with no moving parts to wear out or maintain. The best bird spiders have a U.V.-protected polycarbonate base. One manufacturer offers a spider that comes pre-assembled with a glue-on base, so it can be easily and permanently affixed to most surfaces. Bird Spiders are also available with railing mounts, for easy attachment to structural rails. Other attachments include a removable sand bag base, which means you can mount it virtually anywhere. In general, bird spiders make an ideal visual bird deterrent where heavy bird concentrations have become a problem.

For best results, you should install bird spiders on or near your A.C. units now, before pest birds begin arriving in the spring.
