ELECTRIC TRACK DETERRENT
Our Electric Track Deterrent systems deliver discreet, low-profile protection against pigeons and other pest birds. Utilizing a flexible UV-stabilized base embedded with stainless-steel conductors, the system delivers a brief, humane electric pulse that conditions birds to stay away from protected areas. The track blends seamlessly into architecture while providing long-term deterrence on ledges, parapets, signage, and rooflines.
Low-profile • Flexible design • Humane deterrent system
HOW IT WORKS
The electrified track sends timed pulses of low amperage through stainless conductors. When a bird lands, it receives a harmless but startling shock that causes it to fly away and avoid the area in the future. The pulse is humane and non-injurious, making Electric Track Deterrent an effective and ethical way to deter birds from perching or nesting on structures.
APPLICATION AREAS
Electric Track Deterrent is best suited for long, continuous edges and architectural features where a discreet profile is desired and service access is practical. Final specification may require ownership approval and, on landmarked properties, LPC review.
- Parapets, coping stones, and setback roof ledges on commercial or mixed-use buildings
- Cornices, decorative moldings, and façade projections where street-level visibility must remain minimal
- Building-mounted signage: letter returns, raceways, and marquee edges
- Bulkhead caps, penthouse ledges, and equipment screen tops (with safe access)
- Brownstone and prewar details including lintels, windowsills, and door hoods (by assessment only)
- Lintels and ledges above loading docks, garage entries, and service bays
- Pipe racks and conduit trays along roof perimeters (where clearances allow)
Not intended for small residential sills, active egress routes (such as fire escapes), or inaccessible elevations. Use is by assessment on landmarked façades.

Electric Track Deterrent systems can be powered via solar or 110V AC chargers, depending on your property’s accessibility and scale.
