“We have the Symterra system on several of our locations and have been in service for well over a year and to date are performing as advertised! The systems have saved us revenue on locations with migratory bird issues that prevented us from accessing the structures during certain times of the year and has consistently helped resolve landlord/property owner issues with bird droppings as well as keeping bird droppings off of our structures making them more safe for our employees and contractors.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the problems with birds migrating?
Migrating birds return to the same structures year after year. This leads to repeated nesting, droppings buildup, restricted access to buildings, safety risks for workers, and ongoing conflicts with property owners. Seasonal problems turn into permanent headaches.
What are the main causes of migration?
Birds migrate for food, breeding, and favorable weather. They rely on memory and habit, which is why they keep coming back to the same rooftops, beams, and structures once a site feels safe to them.
What is the biggest danger to migrating birds?
The biggest danger is human-made environments that disrupt natural behavior, including unsafe structures, traffic, and harmful deterrents. Humane systems like Symterra help by guiding birds away without injury, stress, or lethal methods.
