Wingzaway EMP is an electromagnetic pulse system that makes a structure unattractive to pigeons and other perching birds — no spikes drilled into your façade, no net across your atrium, no harm to the birds. Supplied, installed and serviced across Asia by Hot Foot.
By the time birds are visible, the damage is usually 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.
Four stages, from the day birds move in to the day your roof stops being worth landing on.
Most sites need more than one method. The right answer depends on the surface, the bird pressure, and what the building can accept. Hot Foot supplies all three tiers, so the recommendation follows the site rather than the catalogue.
Ledges, signage, parapet edges, pipe runs, narrow perches. Fast to install, low cost, effective where the landing surface is a line rather than an area.
Loading bays, atriums, plant voids, courtyards — anywhere birds must be physically unable to enter, and where the net can be tensioned out of sight.
Rooftops, solar arrays, warehouse trusses, façades and heritage structures — large volumes that spikes cannot cover and netting cannot span, or where nothing may be drilled or seen.
A typical site uses EMP across the open roof and solar array, with spikes on parapet edges and netting at the loading bay. Your assessment will set out which method covers which 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 |

A Hot Foot technician surveys the property, identifies where birds are actually roosting, and returns a zone-by-zone design with pricing. No obligation to proceed.
