Las Vegas Nevada casino pigeon control removal shock track
Pigeon and Bird Control around casinos
using shock track
On a casino remodel in Las Vegas Nevada, we installed a
low profile 1/2" high pigeon shock system to the front entry areas that was
designed to keep the pigeons from roosting on the edges of the new lighting system and
stop any Bird or pigeon poop from landing on the workers or guest as they got out of
their cars, cabs or limo's.
This pigeon shock system project was done on
and off over
several months as each of the different levels were being completed by other
trades, because of the time frame we were given, we completed the shock
track installation project
just hours before the grand re-opening.
A pigeon or bird shock track system is much like a dog or cattle
shock fence which gives the animal a small but effective zap causing the
animal to move away from the area that zapped them.
Bird shock track has two stainless steel braided wires
that run along the ledge a + and - that the pigeon must
contact before getting a small zap unlike a dog shock fence where the -
is in the ground and the + is run along the area where you want
to keep the dog out of.

Shock track was
laid out in zones for each level and each of the recessed light sections
was linked together. The zones were designed so that if one section
should go out it would not effect the other zones |
|
Each of the
recessed light areas has a ledge and the light strip is placed behind
the ledge allowing lots of nesting for the pigeons.
When the pigeons would fly up to the ledges
they get a mild shock and fly off before they even get to the nesting
areas behind the lights. |
|
This building
had lots of roosting and nesting spots all along the front entry way
just above guests heads. The shock
track conforms nicely to the angles and arches of the building. |
|
This a close up
of the shock track - notice how the track can bend to fit.
The track sits up less than a 1/2" high and
can not even be seen from the ground below.
All power and jump wires were run inside
or behind the columns. |
|
On the tops of
the arches we use a flex shock track so that we could use just one long
piece wrapped back and forth to save on having to create jumps from row
to row. |
|
On the tops of
the building overhangs we used grey track to blend in with the gray
building materials. The only people
that know the track is there are the ones that are looking for it, and
you really need to look hard to see it. |
|
Here is a
little better picture of all the available nesting space for the pigeons
behind the ledge with the shock track.
If the shock track was not in place the
ground below would be covered with droppings and the vale's would be
getting pooped on like before the track was installed
Look at that great big nesting box below the
lights, pigeons would have gotten out of control in a very short time. |

This project
required using 10 plug-in charger boxes for the 12 different zones to
power the 4000 feet of shock track and several solar powered shock boxes
on the roof to power the 400 plus feet of shock track placed on these
areas as well.
Note: This is 1 of 2 boxes that are side
by side |
