BirdSlide® is a
permanently installed bird control barrier that provides a long
lasting solution to bird nesting and roosting.
The “Slide” acts as both a visual and physical deterrent that
makes it impossible for any bird to land upon the protected
surface.
It is designed to fit into the eaves, ledges, beams, angle
irons, and other areas of a building structure. BirdSlide® can be
used to deter a wide variety of architectural bird problems caused
by all species of pest birds. It is especially well suited to
heavy pressure activity where roosting or nesting birds are known
to overpower spikes and other products.
Painting BirdSlide® is available in a standard gray and
can be painted to match any building color. Most home improvement
stores provide excellent choices of exterior coat paints that will
work well with this product. To achieve a quality,
well-camouflaged result when painting BirdSlide®, preparation is
key. You can find a more complete description of painting tips by
referring to the BirdSlide® Installation Guide provided with your
purchase.
Adhesives For best installation results, we recommend a
commercial grade, weather resistant, urethane based adhesive.
Please refer to your local pest control distributor company for
adhesive suggestions or call our technical support department for
a list of appropriate adhesives.
Custom Parts For large commercial bird control work
BirdSlide™ can be pre-ordered in custom sizes, custom colors,

BirdSlide®...The long lasting, easy-to-install bird
control barrier that will provide you with years of
“bird-free” protection. Attention Bird Control
Managers: For large commercial jobs, BirdSlide® can
be pre-color matched in the manufacturing process. Ask
your authorized dealer for details.
WARNING: All surface areas must be thoroughly
cleaned and pressure washed if necessary to remove all
bird debris and droppings. It is important to exercise
safety precautions when removing bird waste. Proper
clothing and respirators are recommended. Consult your
local licensed pest control company for further
information. Do not begin installing BirdSlide® until
all surface areas are dry. Areas that are not dry will
not create a secure bond. Make sure use what BirdSlide®
recommends. |

BirdSlide® can
be custom color matched to blend in with the structure you
are working on. To achieve a quality result when painting
BirdSlide®, preparation is key. First, the BirdSlide® beams
should be wiped clean of any dust particles. Then, it is
suggested that you paint the beams with an appropriate
primer to prevent premature paint chipping. This will also
enhance the color and longevity of the paint. Many home
improvement stores, paint stores and hardware stores will
offer a wide selection of quality exterior coat paints. Any
of these quality exterior paints will work well with
BirdSlide®. Remember to thoroughly coat the beam with the
exterior paint. This will provide that clean finished look.
Drying time will depend on the climate and the paint you are
using. Be sure to review the information on the back of your
paint can for drying time. Now that you have finished
painting you have completed the final step in the
installation. You and your customer can review a job well
done and a bird control system that will immediately begin
working to deter nuisance birds.
BirdSlide® can be custom color matched to
blend in with the structure you are working on. To achieve a
quality result when painting BirdSlide®, preparation is key.
A. First, the BirdSlide® beams should be wiped clean
of any dust particles.
B. Then, it is suggested that you paint the beams
with an appropriate primer to prevent premature paint
chipping. (A flat white latex paint will also work well as a
primer.)
C. Apply one even coat of the primer then let dry.
This first coat of primer will enhance the color and
longevity of the paint.
D. Then follow through with 2 even coats of your
chosen color matched paint. Many home improvement stores,
paint stores and hardware stores will offer a wide selection
of quality exterior coat paints. Any of these quality
exterior paints will work well with BirdSlide®.
E. An option for painting that also works well but
has some limitations is aerosol enamel paints (Krylon).
These canned enamel based spray-on paints work well without
a primer coat, however there are limitations in the choice
of color. If getting an exact color match is not critical to
the customer, spray-on enamel paint provides an excellent
alternative that is an easy and quick way to complete this
final step.
Whether you are using an exterior coat paint
or enamel spray-on paint, remember to coat the BirdSlide®
beam with a generous even amount of paint. This will provide
that clean finished look. Drying time will depend on the
climate and the paint you are using. Be sure to review the
information on the back of your paint can for drying time.
Now that you have finished painting you have completed the
final step in the installation. You and your customer can
review a job well done and a bird control system that will
immediately begin working to deter nuisance birds.
