Pests We Treat Photo Album: Turkey Vultures Roosting in Highlands, NJ
Roosting Area
Here you can see where the turkey vultures were roosting. There was feces all over the roof and since the owner recently had a new roof installed, he wasn't too happy that it was being used as a toilet.
Damage to the Roof
The accumulation of bird feces on the roof can emit a strong odor. Not to mention that the turkey vultures can damage shingles, causing additional an expense for homeowners.
A Shocking Solution
To solve the roosting problem, we installed a shock trap over the perimeter and peaks of the entire roof.
What Does it Do
A shock trap emits an 8-Volt electric shock to deter the birds from roosting on the roof. It doesn't harm them, but it scares them away.
No More Turkey Vultures
Once the turkey vultures land on it, the track shocks their feet. After being shocked by the system the they no longer roost on the roof.
