Cleaning alone doesn’t stop repeat visits.
Bird perching on billboards and signage can lead to contamination and costly damage. Symterra bird deterrent systems use electromagnetic waves to create an environment that birds find inhospitable. This non-lethal method effectively deters birds from landing and perching on billboards, signs, and other advertising structures, helping to maintain their visual appeal and integrity.

Protects Advertising Structures
Bird droppings are not only unsightly but can also pose serious health risks due to the bacteria and fungi they contain. In the billboard and signage industry, droppings can obscure messages, create cleaning challenges, and increase costs. Symterra systems significantly reduce the presence of birds, thereby minimizing the accumulation of droppings. This ensures cleaner, more attractive, and safer advertising spaces.
