Birdzout’s innovative bird control technology has recently been featured in national and regional media, highlighting how New Zealand businesses are turning to advanced solutions to tackle persistent seagull problems.
Seagulls have long plagued towns and cities across the country, creating noise, mess, and health risks for both residents and business owners. Now, with Birdzout’s cutting-edge deterrent systems, businesses are finding a serious and effective answer.
Oamaru Businesses Trialling Birdzout’s Electromagnetic System
As reported in the Oamaru Mail, businesses along Thames Street have been struggling with heavy seagull infestations for years. Their screeching and droppings were not only unpleasant but also damaging to buildings and footpaths.
Birdzout’s electromagnetic bird deterrent system was recently installed on one of the town’s problem rooftops. The technology works by placing a series of wired capacitors across the roof. When activated, they generate an electromagnetic dome. As seagulls approach, they experience a sense of vertigo, which deters them from landing without causing harm.
Similar installations in Christchurch by Birdzout reduced seagull numbers from 200–300 birds to almost none. Transforming rooftops into gull-free zones.
“If it works like we know it can, it’s going to give retail owners a serious option to remove the birds. It doesn’t harm them, it just stops them from landing on the roof.”
The Oamaru trial will run until the end of March to assess the full impact across the seagulls’ breeding season.
