Bird Control for Airports Worldwide

The Federal Aviation Administration estimates annually in the United States alone there are more than 20 collisions between birds and civilian aircraft in flight EACH DAY resulting in more than $308 Million in direct damage and more than 393,000 hours in aircraft down time over the past 20 years.  Since 1988 more than 229 people have died because of bird strikes on civilian aircraft.

Bird Gard provides extremely effective front line bird control for airports and air bases that is economical to deploy and maintain. Once in place, Bird Gard requires minimal maintenance and is easily adapted to changing conditions.  

Aviation Bird Repllents for Military and Civilian Airfields

Unlike harassment and hazing devices, such as cannons and pyrotechnics that attempt to startle or annoy birds into leaving, Bird Gard uses the bird’s natural instincts to make them flee.  This was first demonstrated in the 1950's when zoologists from Pennsylvania State College used tape recordings of distressed starlings to eliminate vast bird roosts infesting trees and barns.  Today, Bird Gard uses digital recordings of species specific distress and alarm calls, along with the sounds of their natural predators, broadcast through high fidelity weatherproof speakers to convince the birds they are under attack.  The direction, duration and timing of sounds are controlled by a microprocessor to give the impression there is danger all around.  Sophisticated random technology keeps birds from getting used to the sounds.

Birds act like they are hitting a wall when they come in range of Bird Gard, and immediately change direction to find other areas to feed.
 

 The Nature of Aviation Bird Repellents

Bird Gard was developed in collaboration with ornithologists at leading universities and agriculture extension agencies.  Numerous studies from universities such as Cornell and University of California at Davis and others have proven Bird Gard to be effective at substantially reducing and even eliminating bird infestations.  Customers the world over continue to praise Bird Gard for cost effective bird control.  Through continuous research and development into the nature and habits of nuisance and dangerous birds, Bird Gard has become the world leader in sonic bird repellent technology, protecting airfields worldwide.
