Flexible and versatile, the Bird-Zap Shock Track from Nixalite of America offers coverage against bird pressure, the firm says. When touched, Bird-Zap delivers a short burst of electricity, shocking intruding birds with enough power to create a memorable discomfort without harming them in any way, the company said, adding that the birds then learn to associate any area with the shock track installed as a “no-land zone.”
Made of flexible, UV-resistant PVC, the low-profile bird deterrent strips fit the contour of nearly any infested area and attach easily to most surfaces to protect signs, roof peaks, ledges and many other hard-to-protect areas, according to Nixalite.

Bell Laboratories’ new 2013-14 Rodent Control Product Guide and its accompanying MSDS & Label Guide are now available through Bell distributors and technical sales representatives.
New this year, Bell compiled Material Safety Data Sheets and product labels for its rodenticides into a separate 28-page MSDS & Label Guide, which the firm says is a time-saving tool for pest control technicians on the job. Labels and MSDSs also can be digitally downloaded from Bell’s website.
Bell’s updated 20-page Product Guide is a comprehensive listing of Bell’s line of rodenticides, bait stations, mechanical traps and glue traps. Product pages feature full-color photos, along with bulleted product features, packaging info, product code and dimensions, and EPA registration numbers for rodenticides.
As in previous catalogs, product pages are organized with colored tabs according to product type for easy referencing.
Another feature of the catalog are the two, two-page reference charts. The rodenticide chart gives an at-a-glance listing of Bell’s 15 rodenticides with active ingredient, product features, uses and other helpful information. A second chart lists the features and uses of Bell’s bait stations, traps and accessories.
