The gouse Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 This is another perfectic idear NWR have at stopping bird strikes on the overhead line. If this works I will show my ars in Asda! and what makes me laugh more is NWR give it a standard we have to install it to. 2 hours ago, Fisheruk said: Sounds very useful.

Dekers Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Must be the best part of 10 years ago I first used this sort of stuff, had mixed results, but haven't used any for years, guess that says it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospero Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 The major problem is it doesn't really work unless it's got full sunlight or near enough on it. As a consequence the birds will fly into it dusk and Dawn and knock the pots off. I know this because I've used it a lot and it's rubbish.

Ratmanwan Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I've also tried this on a couple of small proofing jobs , didn't want to risk it on any big jobs and pleased I didn't, less than impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perazzishot Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Good luck with the tender. Bird Free Gel is currently not licensed for use in the UK and has been withdrawn from sale!

Mate I did not know it existed that picture is from the tender document. we have never been asked to use this before but we do have loads of bird strikes on the overhead line that knock the breakers out, this is one of NWR brainwaves to solve it?????

As I said earlier I used a product along these lines (not sure if it was the same) about 10 years ago, so the idea/products have been around a while. I've not used any for years, never impressed, why is it not licenced and been withdrawn from sale? What licencing does it actually need and why, it isn't a poison or trap, nor is intended to do the birds any harm, what have I missed here?

Perazzishot Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I've been installing it for the last few years for NR. I believe the newly refurbished Waterloo Station is covered in the stuff at a huge cost which I will not repeat. It lost it's license midway through last year, never had a full explanation. A few rumours were it was carcagenic, it is made in Korea, it doesn't work, the importer lost his import licence. A copycat product called Ornaway is available but I've found it even less effective at a greater cost, but as you can see from the NR spec above it is product specific!
