Like many inventions, Bird-Deter® was developed by a homeowner who had need of a product that was not available in the marketplace. Birds would perch on his residential mailbox two to three times per week. Each time, they would leave droppings as their calling card. Cleaning this mess off was an unpleasant task.

Out of frustration, he set out to find a permanent solution to the problem. After visits to the area home improvement and hardware stores and looking on-line in hopes of finding something that would keep the birds off of his mailbox, it became clear, there was nothing out there for this specific application.

Rather than giving up, he decided to seek remedy for the problem by doing some experimentation. He purchased some materials from a local home improvement store that then be fashioned into something thought to discourage birds from sitting on the mailbox. Through the experimentation phase, days, weeks and then months went by without a single incident of a bird perching on the mailbox. It worked so well that after some additional experimentation and minor modifications, a new product called Bird-Deter® was created. The creator of the product never would have guessed that in the first attempt, the psychology of a bird would have been so precisely identified.

This visibly obscure, but amazing product is now available to those who share in the problem of dealing with "messy mailbox perchers." Bird-Deter® is available for purchase at Bird-Deter.com. Bird-Deter® is manufactured in United States - right here in Chicago, Illinois, constructed from durable, clear polycarbonate with a UV inhibitor and a priority on quality. Purchasers of the product are absolutely amazed at how well it performs in keeping birds away from their mailbox. The inventor is relieved to know that ever since the creation of Bird-Deter® he no longer has to engage in the nasty chore of cleaning bird poop off of his mailbox.
