Bird-free boating with Gullsweep

The innovative Gullsweep® bird scarer is a cost-effective and convenient means of ridding your boat of sea birds and their messy deposits.

Available throughout Australia from vessel protection specialist Marine Solutions, the unobtrusive and effective Gullsweep® acts as a deterrent which makes gulls uncomfortable enough to select another roosting site.

As birds are always alert to their predators, Gullsweep® creates an unknown fear that the moving object represents a potential danger, and so, unwelcome airborne guests move on to settle (and soil) elsewhere.

According to Marine Solutions’ Lee Vitiello, the unit deters all marine birds, eliminates cleaning time and unsightly stains, and simply makes the boating experience more enjoyable.

'The Gullsweep is very easy to install, doesn’t require onboard power, works while you’re away, and folds in half and stows away quickly when you want to get underway,' Mr Vitiello said.

Fishing/boating/media identity Rex Hunt is one of many satisfied Marine Solutions customers to use Gullsweep®. In the time he has had them installed on his boat he has been more than satisfied with the results.

'Gullsweep has reduced my seagull droppings problem by 90%... now combined with artificial snakes on the deck my problem is minimal,' he said.

The Gullsweep® sweeps a full 1.8m (6’) diameter and intimidates birds with each movement. Depending on the size of the vessel, a second or third unit may be required for full boat coverage.

RRP is $99.
