When it comes to the environment we tick all the boxes
When drains get blocked and there is heavy rain, such as a summer thunderstorm, there is nowhere for the rain water to go except under the roofing sheets and down into the inside of the building. Remember this is water contaminated by bird excrement. Suddenly a small problem becomes a very large and expensive one.
For organisations with large roofs a solution to potential problems like this is needed that doesn't cost too much and does not hinder normal maintenance of rooftop equipment such as air handling systems.
Traditional solutions use netting or spikes and may also employ sonic devices or other bird scarers.
Such approaches are fine for small areas but as roof size increases they rapidly become uneconomic. Recently flying live hawks has become popular but this is also expensive if deployed on a regular basis.
The benefit of the Robop approach is that it is effective over a long period, is very simple to install and costs considerably less than other proven alternatives. Robop has the further advantage of not harming pigeons, seagulls or indeed any other birds making our solution popular with environmentally conscious staff.

Robop makes it possible to keep birds off your property without turning it into a fortress of nets and spikes, without annoying your neighbours with loud bangs, without harming the birds in any way and crucially for owners of large buildings, at a fraction of the cost of alternative approaches that provide a long term solution.
Birds such as pigeons and seagulls are part of the natural landscape and do not pose a problem in small numbers. However, as numbers increase and they start to bring nesting materials on to roofs this is where the problem starts. If the building has a syphonic drainage system, popular in many modern buildings, a relatively small amount of material can block drains.

Scottish inventor and pest control expert Bob McIntyre had the spark of genius that led to the development of the Robop concept and to the launch of the Company in September 2001. Since then Robops have been installed in 15 countries where it is used in a great variety of different situations from city centre office blocks to salt mines and chicken farms, from oil refineries to recycling centres.

Robop is a robot that looks, moves and sounds like a peregrine falcon. Because peregrines live by eating other birds, especially pigeons and seagulls, birds are terrified of them. When Robop is installed birds have to find another territory or run the risk that they may be attacked. So, they leave your building, it's that simple. The clever bit is making Robop convincing and able to work successfully, in all weathers without breaking down and without losing its deterrent effect.
