A ridge vent protection system is made to affix to an existing roof with an existing ridge vent that has an upper surface that is spaced from the existing roof surface. The system attaches to the roof and surrounds the perimeter of the existing ridge vent. The system has elongate members that are attached to the roof adjacent the lateral edges of the existing ridge vent. End caps that affix to the roof that cover the terminal edges of the existing ridge vent. The system is made from perforated metal and has a lower planar portion, an offset portion, and an upper planar portion. The upper planar portion holds down the top surface of the existing ridge vent. An optional top cover is also formed from perforated metal and overlays the entire top surface of the existing ridge vent. It is retained by the elongate members and end caps.

Roof ridge end caps are installed at the highest elevations of the peaks of gabled roofs to prevent damage caused by the roosting habits of birds. Exemplary roof ridge end caps of the invention include a roof ridge end cap peak formed by angularly connected side panels, opposed and adjustable face panels that may be moved apart or together to adjust the angle at the peak and a tail portion, each of which provides a further covering function to the area around a roof peak. Also disclosed are methods of installing the roof ridge end caps to prevent bird damage and deterioration at the peak edges of a roof in which the roof ridge end cap is attached in a clockwise rotational displacement to the face of the building fascia to secure it over the roof tip.

A compressible foam closure for roof panels includes a core having an elongate body defining a longitudinal axis. The elongate body has at least two opposing sides and defines a thickness. A plurality of slits are formed in the core, into the thickness, extending from the at least two opposing sides toward the longitudinal axis. A thin, flexible, water impermeable skin covers the core. The slits can be formed fully through the core to form slices of the core that are stacked together.

Bird caps, which are devices installed at the highest elevations of the peaks of gabled roofs so as to prevent damage caused by the roosting habits of birds. Exemplary bird caps of the invention each comprise a peak formed by angularly connected side panels, opposed and adjustable face panels that may be moved apart or together to adjust the angle at the peak, a tail portion and a tail plate, each of which provides a further covering function to the area around a roof peak. In certain embodiments, the device includes hooded panels which further enhance the roof peak protection provided. Also disclosed are methods of preventing the bird damage and deterioration at the peak edges of a roof.

A bird nest prevention device for use in a building structure includes a mounting face for connecting to a face of a truss by a connector, a first angled portion having a lower edge connecting to an upper edge of the mounting face and being inclined upward therefrom, a second angled portion having a lower edge opposing the lower edge of the first inclined portion and being inclined upward therefrom, an upward extending portion connecting at a lower portion thereof to the first angled portion and the second angled portion and wherein the lower edges form a stand to rest on top of the truss.

The bird deterrent comprises a substantially flat tilting surface, having a substantially elongated shape and a substantially curvilinear profile, which can be positioned in a balancing position and oscillating, as a consequence of a bird or the like perching on it, around at least an axis of rotation substantially horizontal and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tilting surface, and support means associable with a perching surface and supporting the tilting surface.

A plurality of slits are formed in the core, into the thickness, extending from the at least two opposing sides toward the longitudinal axis. A thin, flexible, water impermeable skin covers the core. The slits can be formed fully through the core to form slices of the core that are stacked together.

Rodent shields are constructed from various gauge metal and are shaped to fit substantially flush against vertical members to prevent roof rats (Rattus Rattus) from traveling to and from their homes located in the upper parts of structures. The rodent shield can be installed on different diameter size vertical members by simply cutting the housing portions at the required length. The rodent shield is wide and the surface is sleek to prevent roof rats from firmly gripping the shield. The rodent shield can be used individually or used with multiple rodent shield.
