Foam Blockers
Often cavity nesting birds gain access into small slits and openings that can not be treated with conventional exclusion products. In these cases we use a commercial grade closed cell polyethylene foam.
The foam is cut and fitted to close all the openings. The foam blockers are installed with mastic, and sometimes covered by a thin piece of metal. The foam blockers can be painted to match the building exterior.
Primary Treatments Areas
- Docks
- Roof Overhangs
- Canopies
- Walkway Roofs
This treatment is still possible with areas where small holes or cavities allow harboring birds.
How Can Small Building Openings Lead to Recurring Bird Problems?
Birds do not always need a large opening to enter a structure. Certain cavity-nesting birds can take advantage of small slits, gaps, and protected openings around docks, roof overhangs, canopies, walkway roofs, and other architectural features.
These areas can be difficult to address with conventional bird exclusion systems. For smaller openings, we may use commercial-grade closed-cell polyethylene foam that is carefully cut and fitted to close the available space. The material is installed with mastic and, when necessary, can be covered with a thin piece of metal. Foam blockers can also be painted to better match the building exterior.
Closing these access points helps address the reason birds are repeatedly entering the area rather than continually dealing with activity after they have established themselves inside.
Before installing an exclusion product, we inspect the building and determine where birds are gaining access. Identifying these openings allows us to develop a more targeted approach that reduces available nesting and harboring areas.
