PRODUCT PRESENTATION

Bird Slope from Bird-B-Gone
Bird Slope protects ledges against all species of birds by turning a 90° ledge into a "slope". Bird Slope is an anti-perching, anti-roosting, deterrent. Its unique design makes it impossible for birds to land on 90-degree areas including eaves and ledges.

What makes Bird Slope a Superior Anti Perching Device?
  • Effective for all species of pest birds
  • Can effectively prevent birds from nesting
  • Fast and easy to install
  • Glue trough for easy attachment
  • Available in four foot sections – cuts labor time in half

Bird Slope is made from a U.V. protected plastic PVC that is sun and weather resistant. The rigid one piece design is non conductive and carries the longest industry guarantee – 2 years. Bird slope is available in both grey and stone colors and has special extenders for wider ledges.

USES and APPLICATIONS

Specify Bird Slope to:
  • Prevent birds from nesting on open ledges
  • Keep birds off I-beams
  • Block birds from eave areas
  • Block birds from existing nesting sites
  • Block swallows from nesting under eave areas

Bird Slope is made of a U.V. protected outdoor grade PVC plastic, and comes in 4 foot long sections. There are a variety of bird slope accessories available to accommodate different areas. Each section of Bird Slope is 4' long (1.21m), and is sold 48 feet per box (14.63m). Its unique design makes it impossible for birds to land on 90-degree areas including eaves and ledges. Bird Slope also has a "snap on" extender, which makes it easy to adapt to wider ledges and there are also "end caps" available to prevent birds from getting behind the slope. It is available in two colors, stone and grey to match your installation location.

ASSEMBLY and INSTALLATION

COMPONENTS and PARTS

Bird Slope: Available in 4 foot sections. Each section will cover a ledge up to 6" wide (15.4 centimeters). For wider ledges, a Bird slope extender is available for treating ledges up to 10" (25.4cm) wide. There are end caps that can be purchased to prevent birds from getting behind the slope itself, and slope "connectors" to eliminate any gaps between sections.

Bird Slope Mounting Hardware: Bird Slope has a glue trough on the underside of each section for easy application. Special mounting clips are available when installing bird slope on a vertical surface.

Installation Accessories: Bird-B-Gone Inc. offers a commercial grade adhesive designed to hold bird spikes in place while minimizing glue appearance. For more information go to www.birdbgone.com.
