Strategies to prevent birds from colliding into windows

Stephen M. Vantassel, host of the Wildlife Control Consultant podcast, summarizes the tactics and techniques provided by Shane Sater's article "Collision Course: Window strikes, dead birds, and what to do about it" published in Montana Wildlife in the July/August 2025 issue. Bird death by building strikes is second only to bird mortality caused by domestic cats. Tactics to break up the window reflection include screens, stickers, dots, Feather Friendly, ABC Bird Tape, netting, and Acopian Bird Savers. WCOs should consider this as a potential business add on.
