Raptor guard™ nest diverters

Power Line Sentry’s Nest Diverter Portfolio offers engineered solutions designed to proactively prevent bird nesting on power structures, reducing fire risk, outages, and avian electrocution incidents. Our portfolio supports the full range of utility applications—from distribution crossarms to sub-transmission and high-voltage transmission towers—with scalable designs suitable for varied configurations.

At the core of each diverter is a proven inverted “V” profile, engineered to deflect sticks and other nesting materials before they accumulate. This approach is highly effective for large raptors such as ospreys, eagles, and storks, as well as smaller birds including corvids like crows and ravens.

The result: reliable nesting deterrence, even in locations with historic nest sites.

We offer standard and universal diverter kits—such as the RGNS-24-43-V for double crossarms and the RGNS-24-48-S-V for single arms—and frequently support utilities with custom-sized solutions engineered in our in-house innovation lab. These solutions are quick to prototype and manufacture, ensuring field readiness under tight project timelines.

Our nest diverters are constructed from UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant materials, contributing to wildfire mitigation efforts by reducing the accumulation of combustible nesting debris. Preventing nesting before it begins is essential—not only for grid reliability but for fire prevention and wildlife safety.
