Using Bird Control Lasers to Deter Flocking Birds
Property owners, farmers and growers, and municipal facilities have long had costly run-ins with pest birds. The problem lies in their sheer numbers; thousands of starlings, grackles, or crows can quickly overwhelm an area, devastating crops, wreaking havoc at airports with bird strikes, and leaving acres of disease-carrying droppings in their wake. Flocking bird droppings and nesting materials can damage expensive machinery, clog rain gutters and runoff systems, and ultimately create expensive repairs for property owners and municipalities.
Many Birds Are Protected
Getting rid of flocking birds can pose a challenge, since many birds are protected by law and cannot be killed or injured. Property owners and municipalities have found that the only viable solution is to use humane, proven effective bird repellents. This is where bird lasers can provide the ideal solution.
Aerolaser Groundflex System for Airports
Ideal for getting rid of flocking birds around airport "hot spots," the Aerolaser Groundflex easily repels ducks, seagulls, herons, crows, parrots, lapwings, and more. Birds perceive the approaching laser beam as a physical "threat," causing them to fly away, while the continuously moving laser beam keeps areas free of birds 24/7. Safe for aviation, humans, and birds, its long-range beam (up to 2,500 meters) repels birds across vast distances and wide areas up to 19 square kilometers. The laser beam can be set to sweep an area at random intervals to keep birds from habituating to it. To ensure accurate and safe positioning, the laser beam has a resolution of up to 0.003 degrees in both horizontal and vertical directions. A horizon safety system, optical encoders, and self-calibration features ensure that the laser beam does not drift away from pre-set positions. For maximum operational flexibility in the field, the system operates 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.
Aerolaser Handheld for Airports
Effective and easy to use, the Aerolaser Handheld safely repels flocking birds from airports and requires minimal training. Aerolaser technology has been successfully tested on birds from many different continents, and the device can repel nuisance birds over a distance of 2,500 meters even on bright days. It provides a sustainable, humane method for preventing bird strikes, coming complete with rechargeable batteries, a scope for exceptional accuracy, and a power charger.
Agrilaser Lite for Farms, Fields, and Warehouses
Employing advanced, patented optical laser-beam technology, the Agrilaser Lite harmlessly repels flocking birds over great distances—up to 2,500 meters. Developed with the help of farmers and ornithologists, the Agrilaser Lite is animal-friendly and ideal for repelling a variety of birds. It is most effective during sunrise and sunset, as well as in overcast, rainy, or foggy weather conditions, and comes with two rechargeable batteries and a power charger.
