Choosing the Right Bird Gard

Bird Gard has a variety of products to repel birds from 1 acre to thousands of acres.  Choosing the right one depends on a number of factors:

• The size and dimensions of the area needing protection
  Birds typically feed from the perimeter of crops so Bird Gard units/speakers should be positioned 50-100 ft. inside the perimeter with the speakers facing out. 
• Terrain and obstacles
  Sound travels in a straight line, more or less.  Hills, valleys, trees, buildings and other structures can shield sounds, potentially leaving large areas unprotected.  Bird Gard units/speakers must be positioned to cover all areas needing protection.
• Height of crops
  Foliage deflects sounds, so Bird Gard units/speakers should be mounted 3 feet above the tops of crops. For orchards above 20 feet tall, units/speakers should be placed both 3 feet above the tops of trees AND below the tree canopy to prevent birds from invading from below.
• Alternate food sources
  If birds have no other food source in the area, more effort will be needed to drive them away.  This may mean more speakers or higher power.
• Roosting areas and water sources
  More units/speakers need to be focused on areas where birds tend to gather, like trees, power lines, and ponds. 
• Type of birds
  Most nuisance birds communicate at the higher end of the audio spectrum (2,000-10,000hz). Larger birds like wild turkey, geese, herons and rooks only respond to the lower frequency sounds (500-5,000hz) of the Bird Gard Super Pro PA4.

Note: Wind and rain can have a dramatic effect on how far sounds travel.  Additional units/higher power may be necessary in areas where high wind is frequent.

Electronic Bird Repellent Technology

All Bird Gard products feature solid-state microchip technology to faithfully reproduce actual distress calls and predator sounds digitally for crystal clear fidelity that does not degrade over time.  Each unit comes with 8 sounds matched to the birds causing your problems, including electronic harassment sounds you can mix with the bird sounds to provide increased effectiveness. 

Units are fully programmable for delays between calls and day, night or 24-hour operation. The unique random modes create the illusion of several birds in distress throughout the protected area, and program settings are easily changed so birds don’t become accustomed to the sounds. 

Recordings of more than 100 of the most common nuisance birds are available.  Click here for help in identifying your specific problem birds. 

Indoor or Outdoor Bird Proof Reliability

Bird Gard products are designed to operate indoors or out, and under the most extreme conditions of heat, humidity, cold and rain. Enclosures are weatherproof and durable.  Each comes with necessary hardware for mounting on a pole or post.

Maintenance Free Bird Deterrent

All Bird Gard products operate on either 110/240-volt current or 12-volt battery (except Bird Gard Super Pro Amp which is 12-volt only).  Optional solar panels reduce or eliminate the need to periodically recharge the 12-volt batteries.  The solid-state electronics never wear out.  Simply spray the switches, sockets and speaker jacks with white lithium grease or silicon at the beginning and end of the season.
