An electromagnetic pulse system that makes your roof, façade or plant area stop working as a roost — no spikes drilled in, no nets across the view, no harm to the birds. Supplied, installed and serviced across Asia by Hot Foot.
By the time the birds are visible, the damage is already on your maintenance budget.
Droppings are acidic. They eat into cladding, gutters, parapets and roof membranes, and nests block drains and vents.
Rooftop arrays make ideal nesting voids. Soiled panels and shaded strings cut generation, and cleaning cycles multiply.
Dried droppings and feather dust carry histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis risk, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis — pigeon breeder's lung.
Bird activity over production lines, stores or wards is a finding waiting to happen in food, pharma and hospital inspections.
Nesting in AC condensers, exhaust cowls and cable trays causes overheating, tripped units and avoidable service calls.
Seasonal fixes that need replacing every few months turn a one-time problem into a recurring line item.
Two minutes on what goes up, what it does, and what changes on your roof.
EMP is built for volume — the wide-open areas where a physical deterrent cannot practically cover the surface, or where nothing may be drilled, tensioned or seen.
The whole roof area is covered at once — including AC units, exhaust cowls and cable trays where nesting causes overheating and service calls.
The gap under a panel is the perfect nesting cavity. EMP covers the array without mesh skirting, so cleaning access and airflow stay clear.
Steelwork thirty feet above a production line cannot be spiked safely or netted cheaply. EMP covers the volume without working at height over live operations.
Nothing is drilled and nothing is visible from the street. Fully reversible, which is usually what makes approval possible on a protected building.
Not sure which zones apply to your site? The assessment maps them for you, zone by zone.
Most buildings try these first. This is how they compare on the four things that decide whether a deterrent is worth installing.
| Method | Legal status | How long it lasts | Risk | Real cost over time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poison baits | Illegal | None | Kills birds and non-target animals | Illegal and ineffective |
| Firecrackers and bangers | Illegal in most premises | Hours | Fire and injury risk | Very high risk, no lasting effect |
| Hanging CDs and reflective tape | Legal | Weeks | No risk to animals | Cheap, but birds habituate quickly |
| Chilli powder and spice repellents | Legal | Very short | Can distress other animals | Needs constant reapplication |
| Balloons and scare kites | Legal | Weeks | No risk to animals | Visually intrusive, low durability |
| Water spray and hosing | Legal | Minutes | No risk to animals | Labour every single day |
| Polyurethane foam fill | Not permitted on public structures | Medium | Traps nests, blocks drainage, damages structure | Cheap now, expensive later |
| Wingzaway EMP | Legal — no wildlife permit required | Long-term control | No harm to birds, people or pets | One installation, low maintenance |
Hot Foot also supplies spikes, gel and netting for edge and exclusion work. Ask during your assessment if any zone on your site suits those instead.
The problem, the outcome, and the kinds of structures Wingzaway EMP is built for.
A Hot Foot technician surveys the property, identifies where the birds are actually roosting, and returns a zone-by-zone design with pricing. No obligation to proceed.
