Open loading dock doors are basically an invitation.

In Episode 14 of Rule the Roost, Tom breaks down one of the toughest real-world bird control problems: warehouse entry points — loading dock doors, man doors, and high-traffic openings that stay open all day.

This episode explains the program approach (because there’s never just “one thing” that fixes birds):

Ozone boxes above doors to create a constant barrier birds don’t want to fly through
UV paint marking (a visual cue birds notice immediately)
Tank mix with InvisiDye to “turn the whole perimeter purple” so birds feel pressure before they even reach the opening
• Extra tools for the gaps and hiding spots: bird pucks / bird bombs
Indoor protection where it matters most: beams above workstations, food areas, and sensitive zones
• Why this beats expensive netting in many warehouse scenarios — and why monthly consistency is what actually makes the results stick

If you service warehouses, distribution centers, food processing, or any facility with constant door traffic, this is a practical blueprint you can apply.
