Comprehensive, FAA-compliant wildlife management to protect passengers, crew, and aircraft from hazardous bird strikes

Because Michigan sits directly on major Great Lakes migratory routes, professional bird control is essential for aviation safety. We protect regional airfields and major hubs like Detroit Metro (DTW) from hazardous bird strikes involving geese, gulls, and starlings.

To keep passengers, crew, and aircraft safe, our FAA-compliant experts use a three-step approach:

Habitat Management- We make the airfield less inviting to wildlife by managing grass height, removing food sources, and draining standing water from rain or snowmelt.

Advanced Deterrents- We use safe, specialized tools—like sonic cannons, lasers, pyrotechnics, and trained falcons—to keep nuisance birds away.

Active Dispersal- We actively clear runways and flight paths to guarantee safe takeoffs and landings in every season.

Key Areas for Airport Bird Control

How We Can Help Solve Your Airport Bird Problem

Airplane Hangars

The Problem: Vast open spaces make hangars the perfect shelter for nuisance birds, leading to corrosive droppings, structural damage, and health hazards for your crew.

The Solution: We implement a strategic mix of heavy-duty bird netting, specialized deterrents, and repellents to protect your valuable aircraft and keep your facility safe.

Inside Terminals

The Problem: Birds trapped inside busy terminals create hidden health hazards, contaminate food and public areas, damage infrastructure, and can even become aggressive toward passengers.

The Solution: We implement highly effective, discreet internal bird control to safely remove the threat and protect passenger health without disrupting daily terminal operations.

Airport Signs

The Problem: Airport signs create perfect nesting sites, leading to unsightly droppings that ruin visibility, frustrate travelers, and require expensive, inconvenient cleanups.

The Solution: The best approach is prevention. We implement the right bird control products to stop birds from landing and nesting, protecting your signage and preserving its appearance.

HVAC Equipment

The Problem: Birds nesting near crucial HVAC intakes can cause toxic droppings to be pulled into the terminal's air supply, while nesting debris clogs airflow and damages expensive system components.

The Solution: We implement proactive, specialized bird control around your HVAC infrastructure to safeguard passenger health, maintain system integrity, and prevent costly equipment failure.

Outside Terminals

The Problem: Birds roosting on terminal exteriors create unsightly messes and dangerous slip-and-fall liability risks when droppings get wet from rain, fog, or snow.

The Solution: We help you maintain a safe, professional environment by installing targeted bird control products on vulnerable exterior features like overhangs, signage, and lighting.

Airport Aprons

The Problem: Complex equipment like jetways and ramps offer perfect nesting niches for birds, leading to damaged machinery and severe slip-and-fall hazards for your ground crews.

The Solution: We implement highly effective bird deterrents across your loading areas to protect your personnel, passengers, and equipment while keeping ground operations running smoothly.

Rooftops

The Problem: Large glass atriums and modern rooftops attract birds, resulting in unsightly droppings that block natural light, ruin the view, and spoil the passenger experience.

The Solution: Contact our bird control experts for specialized, discreet deterrents designed to keep your airport's glass features and rooflines clean and completely free from bird-related issues.

Parking Structures

The Problem: Sheltered parking decks offer ideal roosting spots, leading to corrosive bird droppings that damage vehicle paintwork, ruin customer perception, and create an unsanitary environment.

The Solution: We provide specialized bird control solutions tailored to parking structures and open lots, helping you mitigate property damage risks and maintain high facility standards.

Implementing Effective Airport Bird Control

Airport Bird Control Solutions

Maintaining an effective bird control strategy is essential for any airport or airfield operation. Keeping birds out of hangars, terminals, food service areas, and parking facilities protects people from health risks and potentially dangerous situations. Critically, unmanaged bird populations increase the likelihood of damaging aircraft bird strikes, which jeopardize passenger and crew safety. Additionally, pest birds can damage essential equipment such as radar systems. Flock Blockers provides expertise in implementing targeted bird control methods to address hazardous bird problems effectively, ensuring safer operations for airports large and small.
