Imagine chasing away pests like pigeons and loitering teenagers with an ultrasonic device you can control from your computer or smartphone.
While it may seem like some kind of a dream, it was on display at the Buildex Vancouver trade show that’s being held Wednesday and Thursday at the Vancouver Convention Centre West.
Pigeon Patrol is based in Surrey, where it also manufactures the snazzy TubeSonic that uses sound to scare away pests — from winged to four-footed and even the two-footed, teenage variety.
Using an amplifier, speakers, a small computer and wifi interface, the TubeSonic emits frequencies from 8 kHz to 24 kHz. There are 12 different settings, plus more than 100 recorded sounds designed to “startle, confuse, disorient and intimidate.” Frequencies adults can’t even hear are used to upset the sensitive hearing of youths.
It can all be controlled remotely and set to a schedule.
The company also has a variety of other products, like weather-resistant stainless steel spikes to keep birds from landing where they shouldn’t, to an all-natural herb gel that sales manager Andrew MacBain said “smells like death” to birds.
But none of the company’s products are actually deadly.
“We’re very humane,” said MacBain.
There are more than 425 exhibiting companies at Buildex and in excess of 60 seminars. The show was expected to attract 13,500 industry professionals from interior design, construction and real estate management.

The Scottish Parliament has been dealing with issues regarding the amount of Pigeons surrounding the Holyrood Building for some time now. Contractors sent to deal with the pigeons suggested that the Parliament rethink their non-lethal ban if they want to keep their pigeons under control.
The contractors have used laser pens and hawks to scare the pigeons away but have caused concern from animal welfare groups.
The simple use of Pigeon Patrol’s Bird Free 4-S Gel or Sound and Laser Bird Repellers could have been a great animal friendly solution. By using Pigeon Patrol’s safe and humane bird deterrents, the Scottish Parliament and all animal welfare groups can be satisfied.

“Deadly Droppings”
Pigeon Patrol stumbled upon a story that’ll make you question where to buy your next car.
The staff at the BMW dealership, Vines of Guildford, has been under inevitable stress due to a great amount of bird droppings on their vehicles. The waste site next door attracts many birds such as seagulls and pigeons due to their form of transportation of waste. Only now, after many complaints about health issues and random falling pieces of food, the waste site facility will be installing new nets to keep the birds away. But the BMW dealership staff doesn’t it’ll be enough to keep the birds away.
Pigeon Patrol could handle this situation in a matter of seconds. Pigeon Patrol offers great products such as the Ultra-Flex Bird Spikes that could have been easily installed at the waste facility to keep the birds away safely and keep the community happy. Pigeon Patrol provides quality work and equipment and the flying bird poop and food can easily be diminished.

Pigeon Patrol came across this sad story on how pigeon deterrents were not used but fire was used to kill Fifty pigeons on an East 
Cleveland allotment in the early hours of this morning. Fire crews were called to the allotments in Liverton Mines at about 12.30am. They used two hose reels to extinguish the blaze, which they said killed approximately 50 pigeons and damaged the pigeon loft.
A police spokeswoman said: “Enquirers are ongoing to determine the cause of the fire.” Using simple bird or pigeon deterrents, like bird spikes, bird netting, Ultrasonic repellers to get rid of the birds from roosting may have helped save these pigeons lives.

Wow where can you feel safe from infection if not in a hospital? Pigeon Patrol found this story and the troubles the UK is having.
Rats, cockroaches and pigeons were among the pests to be found in hospitals across the city during the last year. At Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, pest controllers disposed of pigeons in the oncology unit, with 62 call-outs by the Trust over the last 12 months.
At Good Hope Hospital a dead pigeon was removed from an X-Ray filing room, as well as a cockroach found in a ward kitchen at Heartlands Hospital, both run by the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust.
Katherine Murphy, Chief Executive of the Patients Association, said that the information was a major safety concern.
“Each of our hospitals has a contract with Ecolab, who provide effective, pro-active pest elimination.” A spokesman from University Hospitals Birmingham Trust, which includes the QE Hospital added: “The Trust attaches the greatest importance to infection control and in doing so ensures that our patients, staff and visitors are exposed to minimum risk relating to pest infestation.”
I think that the hospitals could use Pigeon Patrol’s service and most of it’s pigeon deterrent products including the bird spikes, bird netting, 4-S Gel and the new Ultrasonic repellers to help ward off the pigeons.
