MANUFACTURER:

Established in 1950, Nixalite of America Inc is a second and third generation, family owned business that manufactures the Nixalite Architectural Bird Control Strips. From the very beginning, Nixalite set the industry standards for product quality, superior design and customer service.

Nixalite’s 24,000 square foot manufacturing and executive facilities are located in East Moline, Illinois. This is where the hand built Nixalite machines turn the 316 stainless steel wire and strip into the best bird and climbing animal control system in the world. In-house planning and machining departments give Nixalite design and manufacturing flexibility that no other bird control company can match. Our triple check quality control system guarantees that each strip of Nixalite meets the highest quality standards in the industry.

These high standards and proven product effectiveness have captured the attention and loyalty of architects and engineers from all parts of the globe. When they need to specify a bird control, they know they can depend on Nixalite’s superior products and unrivaled experience.


PRODUCT PRESENTATION:

Nixalite Architectural Bird Control is an all stainless steel wire and strip barrier that controls and repels pest birds and climbing animals on nearly any surface. Available in 3 specific models, Nixalite’s precisely arranged spring-tempered wires present an impassible physical barrier to pest birds and climbing animals.

Made of 316 stainless steel wire and strip, Nixalite is a clean, quiet, efficient and extremely long lasting barrier. Only Nixalite has bird control strip installations more than 50 years old that are still working perfectly. With up to 120 points per foot and 180 degree wire coverage, Nixalite strips provide the best gap-free surface protection in the bird control industry.

A malleable stainless steel base strip provides a durable yet flexible backbone that follows curves and contours, making Nixalite very versatile. The thin wires of Nixalite are inconspicuous and will not interfere with a structure’s appearance. Nixalite strips can be easily cut to custom lengths without the need for special tools. Our unique stainless steel mounting system allows for easy removal and reinstallation of the Nixalite strips if necessary. Other products are mounted directly with hardware and or adhesive making them difficult and costly to remove.

Leading humane and bird societies approve of and use Nixalite because it causes no harm to birds or climbing animals. It simply prevents birds and animals from roosting, nesting or climbing on surfaces.

USES and APPLICATIONS

Specify Nixalite Bird Control Strips to:
  • Repel all types of pest birds on nearly any surface.
  • Act as a barrier for climbing animals.
  • Reduce costly cleaning and maintenance caused by pest birds and animals.
  • Augment human deterrent and security systems.

Nixalite Works! Our architectural strips are effective for all species of birds including sparrows, starlings, pigeons, seagulls and vultures. Nixalite strips are proven effective under all bird or animal ‘pressures’ or levels of infestation.

A properly installed Nixalite Bird Control system not only keeps a surface or structure clean, but also eliminates the risks to health and property caused by bird and animal wastes and refuse.

Nixalite is an effective climbing barrier. Multiple row climbing barrier installations can prevent even the most determined climbing animals from getting past the installed Nixalite. Use to prevent squirrels, raccoons, opossum and other notable wildlife climbers from getting up trees, posts, columns, downspouts, etc.
