Bird-B-Gone Shock Track is an electric track made from plastic and metal materials. It is an electrical physical barrier and does not produce any waste or pollution. By using a solar charger in conjunction with the shock track, energy is saved making the shock track a green product.

Properly installed, a Bird-B-Gone Shock Track installation requires little maintenance. Suggested testing of the system is once every six months. Visual inspection is needed to remove debris that may prevent electrical current from travelling the length of the track. Solar battery should be inspected. Electrical current should be inspected from the farthest point of the track from the power source to make sure the unit is functioning.
