Shock Track
Shock Track from Birds & Geese Beware. Practical bird control planning, FAQs, and service guidance across NJ, NYC, NY, and CT.
A low-voltage track delivers a harmless static pulse the moment a bird lands, training it to avoid the ledge without any visible barrier.
Low-Voltage & Harmless
The static charge is strong enough to condition birds to stay away but causes no lasting harm.
Nearly Invisible Track
Slim track strips sit flush to the surface, keeping the building's appearance largely unchanged.
Ledges, Signage & Beams
Track is fitted to the same narrow surfaces where pigeons and gulls repeatedly try to land.
Weatherproof System
Track components are sealed and rated to keep working through rain, heat, and winter conditions.
Electric shock track bird deterrent across NJ, NY & CT
Shock track is a low profile electrified strip that runs along ledges, rooflines, and signage. Birds that land on it get a mild, harmless static charge, uncomfortable enough that they don't want to land there again, but never enough to injure them. It's one of the most effective options we install on curved surfaces and high pressure rooftops where wire or spikes are harder to fit cleanly.
Birds & Geese Beware, Inc. has installed shock track systems across New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut since 1991. The track itself is a slim, flexible strip that bends around corners and curved parapets, and it comes in gray, stone, and clear finishes so it can be matched to the building instead of standing out.
Where shock track is the right call
Shock track earns its keep on the surfaces that are hardest to protect cleanly with a rigid or tensioned system:
- Curved parapets, cornices, and rounded ledges
- High pressure rooftops with heavy, repeat roosting
- Storefront signage and channel letters
- Window sills and eaves on residential and mixed use buildings
- Warehouse and barn rooflines where large flocks gather
Because the track flexes to fit almost any profile, it handles transitions and corners that would otherwise need a custom bracket for bird spikes or an extra post run for bird wire.
Shock track versus other ledge deterrents
Shock track, spikes, and wire all protect ledges, but they suit different situations.
Where power access is limited, we install solar powered chargers instead of running a 110v line, so shock track stays practical even on remote rooftops.

Every property is different, so we match the deterrent to the surface, the species, and the severity of the problem.
How we install a shock track system
Site assessment
We identify every ledge, sign face, and rooftop edge under pressure, and check what power sources are nearby.
Preparation
Surfaces are cleaned and measured so the track sits flush along the full run.
Mounting
Track is fixed to the surface and shaped around corners and curves as needed.
Power connection
We wire into a 110v outlet where one is available, or install a solar powered charger where it isn't.
Testing and follow up
We confirm the charge is active across the full run and check the system periodically afterward.
Mild, regulated, and humane
The charge in a shock track system is deliberately low, enough to be an unpleasant surprise, not enough to cause any injury. Birds simply learn to avoid the treated surface and move elsewhere. It has no lasting effect on the birds involved, and every installation follows federal and state migratory bird protections. For commercial storefronts and signage, the low profile track and neutral color options mean the deterrent works without changing how the building looks from the street.
Shock track deterrent for every kind of property
We provide shock track deterrent installation for a wide range of commercial, municipal, and residential customers across New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.
