Major Pest Control Melbourne tries to avoid violent methods and focus on choosing those methods in which killing of birds is avoided. Most commonly used methods for bird control are listed below:
A widely used method for bird control is netting. In this method, all those areas, where birds can make their nests, are covered by nets. Networks as a barrier that stops birds from making their nests, in that place. Nets are mostly made up of durable items like metal or nylon, which does not wear off that easily. Another best part of netting is that it not just restricts the entrance of birds, but also stops other pests from entering your home. The holes in the netting are 1-1.5 wide. Nets provided by Major Pest Control Melbourne come in different shapes, sizes, colours, and materials. For better results, these nets have to be replaced within 2-3 years, as birds or any other natural cause may damage and penetrate them, as a result, birds can infest the area again.
Another nonviolent method, used by Major Pest Control Melbourne, is making use of electric wires, which give a mild shock to the birds, trying to nest near your building. The electric shock wires are placed at all the places where birds might infest your property easily. After that, they are connected to the electricity source. Once connected, the wire gives a minor shock to any creature, coming in contact with the wire. It is very effective as well as the eco-friendly pest control method which does not cause any harm to the pest birds and just force them to stay away.
A special and new device used for scaring away the birds is the optical gel. It is a modern technique that is being used by Major Pest Control Melbourne. To use this technique firstly the infested area is properly cleaned and sterilized with the help of detergent and bleach respectively. After that, the optical gel is attached to the area, so that in the future, birds cannot nest there. This product can be applied at all the flat surfaces like roofs, balconies, ledges, etc. where the birds mostly nest.
This is quite an old method in the books of bird control. But with the advancement of technology, Major Pest Control Melbourne has developed decoys that mimic the real predators of the birds. Most of the birds are afraid of predator birds like eagles, hawks, and oils, so the use of their decoys works very well for scaring away all the birds. The decoys used are mechanical which means that they show some sort of movement, as well as produce, sounds from time to time, due to which the birds don’t even dare to come near your home.
A special sort of light is developed and used by Major Pest Control Melbourne for scaring away the birds from your premise. This type of technique is most suitable in large areas, as it covers the largest area for pest control. A bright beam of light is shot at the flock of birds, which scares them and forces them to fly away. After being continuously disturbed, birds go away from your premises and don’t come back for a longer period.
Use of bird spikes, provides by Major Pest Control Melbourne helps you in getting rid of these pesky birds very effectively. It is installed in your home by our professional workers, who are trained in making your house pest-free. Pointed bid spikes are installed at those areas where birds are most likely to nest.

Pointed spikes make it very difficult for the birds to settle and due to the same reason, they decide to move out of your home.
This method is used to make the birds weak so that it becomes easy for our workers to catch them. Some chemicals are mixed in food items and then used as bait. Once the birds take the bait, they become weak and unable to fly. Afterward, the unconscious birds are collected and set free in a place far away from your home.
