Opti Gel

Opti Gel or optical gel, is a nuisance bird deterrent that works with several of the birds senses. It is a gel that comes in small dishes that are placed in areas where pigeons, seagulls and other pest birds try to nest on buildings or other commercial structures. Several of the bird’s senses are triggered by this gel in an effort to change their behavior. Sight is triggered because as the birds approach the gel the ultraviolet light the gel produces looks like small flames making them think the building is on fire and discouraging them from coming any closer. Smell is triggered by the oils like citronella and peppermint which are not favored by birds. The scents will interfere with their ability to find their home. Touch is also a triggered sense because the gel is quite sticky. If they attempt to sit or stand in the gel it is not a pleasant experience. The combination of these three sensory deterrents in one equals a very effective deterrent. Our team can prep surfaces and strategically place them at your business.
