How to use bird deterrent lasers to keep birds away

Pest birds in open and semi-open spaces have long posed a costly problem to property owners and managers. While propane cannons can scatter birds, they can also be disruptive and must be repeated often to keep birds from coming back. Lethal means of bird control—poisons, pellet guns, and inhumane traps—are illegal in many areas, as many birds are protected by law. The bird control pros at Bird B Gone offer a number of bird deterrent lasers that are humane and highly effective. Here’s how to use them:

Agrilaser

This advanced handheld device uses patented optical laser-beam technology to harmlessly repel pest birds over distances—up to 2,000 meters.

• Multi-Bird: The Agrilaser repels geese, gulls, plovers, ducks, crows, cormorants, starlings, cranes, ravens, stilts, herons, songbirds, magpies, and pigeons. Pest birds react to the green beam as they would an approaching car, so they flee the area. Livestock such as cows, pigs, and chickens will ignore the laser beam.
• Multi-Use: The Agrilaser removes birds from open spaces like ballparks, stadiums, monuments, marinas, dumpsites, ponds, golf courses, and other troublesome areas. It’s also highly effective in deterring pest birds in and around big box stores, warehouses, airplane hangars, and other semi-enclosed areas.
• Multi-Weather: Most effective during sunrise and sunset, and in overcast, rainy, or foggy weather conditions, the Agrilaser is moved slowly over the ground towards the targeted birds. After using the device for about seven days, birds will consider the area unsafe and will avoid it entirely. Each Agrilaser comes with a battery pack consisting of two rechargeable batteries and a power charger.

Aerolaser

Combining advanced bird control with handheld portability, the Aerolaser requires minimal training and includes a scope for exceptional accuracy.

• Goes the Distance: The Aerolaser can repel birds over a distance of 2,500 meters, even on bright days. Like the Agrilaser, it is moved slowly over the ground towards targeted birds, while a red-dot sight provides increased long-distance accuracy and safety by letting users accurately aim before activating the laser.
• Maximum Safety: A patented Horizon Safety System alerts users via LED indicator, subtle vibration, and sound if the laser is used in an uncontrolled manner, instantly deactivating the beam to eliminate the possibility of endangering pilots, passengers, and personnel. A key lock system prevents unauthorized use, and the unit comes complete with rechargeable batteries, a power charger, and a durable case.

Aerolaser Groundflex System

The Aerolaser Groundflex produces a continuously moving laser beam that keeps airport "hot spots" free of birds 24/7.

• Long Range, Wide Sweep: The Groundflex can be set to sweep an area at random intervals to keep birds from getting used to the laser. Its long-range beam (up to 2,500 meters) repels ducks, seagulls, herons, crows, parrots, lapwings, and more across vast distances and wide areas—up to 19 square kilometers.
• Safe and Precise: To ensure accurate and safe positioning, the Groundflex has a resolution of up to 0.003 degrees in both horizontal and vertical directions. The horizon safety system, optical encoders, and self-calibration features ensure that the laser beam does not drift away from pre-set positions, keeping it safe for aviation, humans, and birds.
• Portable and Durable: For maximum operational flexibility in the field, the Groundflex can operate on both conventional AC power and a lithium-ion power pack charged by integrated solar panels. Housed in a rugged module, the system remains stable even during harsh weather conditions.
