Since 1985, Birds Away/Pigeons Away has been providing humane solutions to pest bird problems. The company was a natural addition to Van Gelder Enterprises, a firm that has provided other types of building care specialty services for over 35 years. Bob Van Gelder’s Birds Away/Pigeons Away has enjoyed a virtual 100% success rate in deterring birds from residential, commercial and industrial sites.

Bird activity can be more than a mere annoyance – pest birds spread over 60 diseases to humans and animals. Their droppings are highly corrosive and can damage metals, paint finishes, vinyl and fabric. They also make sidewalks slippery and are just plain unsightly. Annual cleanup costs can be significant. And without adequate protection, structures are often immediately re-contaminated. Birds Away offers permanent solutions using combinations of gels, stainless steel prongs, mild shock tracks, coil wire plus tailor fitted mesh and netting. Birds are successfully deterred, but never harmed. Thorough cleaning and sanitizing services are included in each project. All work is guaranteed for up to 5 years, and Birds Away stands behind their products, installation and performance. Call any time – you’ll always speak to a live person, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.
