With about 90% of Safe Spray\u2019s work being commercial, and the remaining 10% being residential, bird management accounts for a significant part of the business.

Rather than harming birds, the system simply prevents them from settling in unwanted areas.<\/p>\n<p>The range is built using heavy-duty 1.4 mm 302-grade stainless steel spikes mounted on a UV-stabilised polycarbonate base. The wire tips are flat cut for added safety, while the patented glue guide makes applying adhesive quicker, cleaner and more accurate. With an expected service life of up to ten years, it\u2019s designed to provide long-term protection.<\/p>\n<p>The Avipoint range includes solutions for narrow and larger ledges, and locations with particularly heavy bird pressure. Installation is typically carried out using specialist silicone adhesives, although accessories such as Aviclips can be used where mechanical fixing is required, including on lipped gutters and steel beams.<\/p>\n<p>The recent appointment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agserv.com.au\/\">Agserv<\/a> as the Australian master distributor for Pelsis products gives pest managers easy access to thethe Avipoint range nationwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Globe Pest Solutions will continue to stock Avipoint products, ensuring customers like Mr Danil can access\u00a0the range through their preferred supply partner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this feature, Agserv business consultant Andy Knox invites a pest control professional to talk about their favourite product.
