How to Conduct An Effective
Bird Scare Campaign

BIRD DISPERSAL PROGRAM
The solution to a successful bird dispersal program is TIMING, PERSISTENCE, ORGANIZATION and DIVERSITY. Timing is critical as birds are more apt to leave a briefly occupied site rather than an established roost. Appoint one person to organize and implement a harassment campaign commencing one hour before sunset and/or dawn using a diverse product mix. Effecting a dramatic change to the roosting area will often persuade birds to disperse. The obvious tactics include elimination of a food source, shelter and water. Remove nesting materials, thin/trim trees. A wide array of bird scare products is available. However, no single product stands alone; a combination of deterrents must be used with repeated reinforcement as necessary.

EXCLUSIONARY DETERRENTS

• BIRDWIRE, passive or energized, in an overhead grid will deter birds from open areas: similarly, several strands attached to posts will create a ‘BIRDFENCE” to restrict geese. Augment with visuals.
• DADDI LONG LEGS is very effective against gulls, pigeons on roofs, HVAC units, boats etc.
• HELIKITE - helium activated kite/balloon soars raptor-like to deter airborne flocking birds.

TASTE DETERRENTS

• MIGRATE (Methyl Anthranilate) (MA) - non-toxic taste deterrent for aquatic birds or fogging agent against flocking birds in trees or other outside problem areas.
• BIRD BUFFER – emits invisible nano –particles of MA. Coverage: structures 360’x159; outdoors-4+ acres subject to wind / air assistance. Call for details.

AUDIO DEVICES

• BIRDGARD audio unit is a species specific repeller utilizing distress/predator sounds for SPOT dispersal only-not suitable for large flocks / areas.
• ZON GUNS are propane-fired cannons that produce adjustable thunderclaps-designed for rural use.
• SCREECH OWL rotates in the wind, emit a hawk attack cry/alarm-distress sounds—used as a reinforcement to an exclusionary system.
• BIRD WAILER / SQUAWKER state of the art audio systems for large areas – species specific alarm, distress, predator + 100 electronic sounds on a micro-chip are emitted randomly through 4-12 speakers on a random basis—creating a bird free multi-acre zone of surround sound. Call for details.
• AIRPORT WAILER - Master Unit + 4 Remote Speakers - protects 2500’ runway/taxi areas.
