Press Release Summary = Bruce Donoho owner of Bird.B.Gone, Inc. says bridges make a
perfect nesting and roosting area for birds such as pigeons. They are protected
here from interference by people, predators and the elements. The droppings left
behind by these birds can erode building materials such as concrete and steel.

Press Release Body = BIRD.B.GONE KEEPS BIRDS OFF BRIDGES!

Bird.B.Gone, Inc. Bird Control Products keep Pest Birds off of bridges nationwide.
Bird.B.Gone, is the leading manufacturer of bird control products in the US. Their
products humanly deter pest birds such as pigeons, seagulls and crows from
buildings, structures, bridges, highway overpasses and other areas they like to nest
and roost.

Bruce Donoho owner of Bird.B.Gone, Inc. says bridges make a perfect nesting and
roosting area for birds such as pigeons. They are protected here from interference
by people, predators and the elements. The droppings left behind by these birds can
erode building materials such as concrete and steel. When asked how to eliminate
the birds from bridges and overpasses, Donoho says you must create a physical
barrier that keeps the birds from landing. This can be done with bird spikes, bird
netting or even shock systems. If the birds have no where to land, they will move
on to another area.

Danny Sicurella of Global Bird Management Corp. has used Bird.B.Gone products on
many highway bridges throughout Illinois and Arkansas. The Illinois Department of
Transportation contracted him to "Bird Proof" highway overpasses that where infested
with pest birds such as pigeons and swallows. Danny says that in some cases the
feces left behind by the pigeons was 3 - 4 feet deep on the concrete supports. The
pigeon feces, over time, will erode the concrete and compromise the support. He
used bird netting to secure the bridges from pigeons nesting and roosting. Danny
says that protected birds such as swallows are also a big problem on highway
overpasses. Once a protected bird takes up "home" on the bridge, it is illegal to
do bridge maintenance until the bird has gone. This can really become a safety
issue. Danny also used Bird.B.Gone Bird Netting to keep the swallows from making
homes on these bridges.

Rob Lang of Smithereen in Chicago has bird proofed 26 viaduct/overpasses in the last
3 years. Lang states that most of the structures have had pigeons living on them
for years. He says that the feces left behind is "deep and disgusting"! A large
part of the project is cleaning and sanitizing the bridge before bird control
products can be installed. Rob uses bird netting and bird spikes from Bird.B.Gone
to keep pest pigeons from nesting and roosting on support beams.

In Dallas Texas, Gulf States Bird Control, owned and operated by Brett Mayes, has
been contacted frequently to provide bird control for bridges and overpasses. Brett
says that he has put in many bids but has not done any jobs. He fears that cities
and transit authorities still are not aware of the importance of bird proofing
bridges, not just the health risk to maintenance workers, but the structural
integrity of the structures themselves.

Donoho also states that Bird.B.Gone products are keeping such bridges as the Golden
Gate, Brooklyn Bridge and others bird free. Not only are we protecting the bridge
infrastructure, we are also protecting the health of those who use the bridges
daily.
