Optical Gel Bird Control — Certified Installer in NYC & Long Island
The Ex-Terminators installs Optical Gel systems for commercial and multi-residential properties across New York City and Long Island. Designed for professional applications, Optical Gel provides a discreet, multi-sensory deterrent that conditions birds to avoid protected surfaces — without damaging architecture or disrupting site operations. Our programs prioritize reliability, compliance, and long-term results for facility and property managers.
How Optical Gel Works
- Sight: The disk presents a visual cue birds instinctively avoid, reducing landings on treated surfaces.
- Smell: Aromatic oils that birds find unpleasant — safe for people, acting as a deterrent rather than a toxin.
- Tactile: If tested, the surface feel reinforces avoidance and discourages repeat activity.
Result: birds learn to bypass protected edges, signage lettering, and equipment without harm to structure or wildlife.
Independent field studies have verified Optical Gel’s long-term effectiveness in reducing bird landings and nesting activity across varied climates and architectural conditions. Download the Optical Gel Field Study (PDF).
Where It Excels
- Ledges & parapets: Low-profile disks along edges and inside corners deter landings and night roosts.
- Signage & channel letters: Compact placement keeps branding clean and visible.
- Rooftop equipment: Discreet runs around HVAC units, screens, and rails preserve service access.
- Beams & canopies: Strategic rows along main perches discourage building-wide flocking.
For heavy nesting or complex spans, pairing Optical Gel with bird netting or electric track may be recommended, depending on pressure and access.
Professional Installation
- Surface prep: Complete debris removal and cleaning support adhesion and longevity.
- Placement patterning: Row spacing and density set by species, pressure, and geometry; corners and returns prioritized.
- Mounting options: Adhesive or mechanical holders selected for substrate and exposure.
Longevity & Care
- Longevity: Bird Barrier lists LONGEVITY at 2–4 years when installed as specified.
- Manufacturer guarantee: Two (2) years when installed per Bird Barrier specifications.
- Inspection & maintenance: Effectiveness can decline if disks become blocked or obscured by debris, overgrowth, paint, or construction dust. Regular inspection and cleaning help maintain deterrent strength.
- Sanitation: Managing food, water, and shelter sources around protected areas sustains effectiveness and prevents re-colonization.
NYC Compliance & Humane Standards
- Landmarks: Discreet, reversible placement options available for LPC-regulated façades.
- Humane methods: Optical Gel deters without harm and supports integrated humane programs.
- Access planning: Layouts designed around safe roof and façade access, minimizing disruptions.
