How to Deter Osprey from Nesting on your Towers

BDT provides bird deterrents for osprey or any other birds from nesting on telecom and powerline towers or any other structure where their nests may pose delays in maintenance services due to their federal protection status during the nesting season. These products are the most effective ecologically friendly method to removing unwanted birds from any vertical real estate equipment to date. Our deterrents allow you to meet all federal regulations on the elimination of protected birds from nesting and ensure you can meet critical, time-sensitive technology upgrades to telecom tower sites. They also enhance safety and minimize the potential of tower fires from lightning strikes.

BDT has patented the most effective long lasting bird deterrent products specifically designed for the harshest vertical environments to date. BDT has devoted 8 years to a long term solution that has plagued the tower and telecom industries from their beginning. Specifically designed to be applied to steel structures from all points of contact our effigies have the most install friendly mounting system for quick non-field engineering system installs to date. Protecting not only our climb crews from slips from feces covered climb points to the health risks associated with climbing on filthy feces covered towers. BDT is the leader in redirecting our bird populations back to their natural environments for nesting as well as roosting. Making it the best most effective eco friendly solution to ever come along.

Osprey nests cause costly problems for owners of cell towers, water towers, and transmission line towers because you have to wait months for the young to fledge out and leave the nest site. Osprey nesting on towers only contributes to an accelerated behavior on the part of these birds preferring to use these platforms for nesting. When raised on these structures, young osprey are predetermined to only use these structures to build their own nests. The BDT eagle effigy is the best solution on how to deter osprey from nesting on your towers.

Safe, Humane, Effective

Our solution for osprey nesting on vertical structures stems from years of falconry experience and working within the nuisance wildlife industry resolving problems with birds and wildlife. The BDT solution? A replica bald eagle that challenges the osprey’s nesting territory by taking over the nesting territory with a much larger more powerful predator. The replica triggers the osprey’s self-preservation instincts, leading it to abandon the subject nesting territory for a safer one far away from the threat. Not only is our solution effective, but it is safe, humane, and friendly to public relations.

The bald eagle replica has proven to be extremely effective on historical osprey nesting sites. Osprey simply will not nest on a site that may put their young in danger of predation.

Test results show complete effectiveness on osprey nest site abandonment.
