Crow Control Industrial Facility
Experience report of the BirdGard Super Pro PA4 for crow control in an industrial facility
| Location: | DE-Worms (Industrial facility) |
| Objective: | Crow control |
| Species causing damage: | Large number of crows |
| Area to protect: | Pipelines, roofs, walkways, etc. |
Due to the waste heat from the industrial plant, the facilities are particularly frequented by crows in winter.
At night the birds stay on the facilities and leave behind heavy contamination.
After the device was put into operation, the birds completely withdrew from the site. Because of the strong bird pressure, the settings must be adjusted regularly.
The BirdGard Super Pro PA4 was mounted on a tower in the middle of the site to cover the largest possible area.
"In conclusion, it can be said that with the help of the BirdGard Super Pro PA4 the number of crows and thus the degree of contamination could be significantly reduced." (Norbert Jäger; Maintenance Planner / P&G Worms)
Installed Products
The BirdGard Super Pro PA4 is an acoustic device for bird and wildlife control for large areas up to 2.4 hectares. The device has a built-in high-performance amplifier and the possibility of connection four external speakers (1x included in delivery, additional speakers available separately). Each speaker covers up to 1.5 acres (0.6 hectares). All components are placed in a robust and weatherproof enclosure. The external loudspeakers are also weatherproof. The device uses pressure chamber loudspeakers, which are specially designed for bird and wildlife species whose warning sounds have a low frequency range. The BirdGard Super Pro PA4 can be easily mounted on a post, fence or directly on the trees using the supplied mounting plate. The device is used in viticulture, fruit and vegetable farms, fish farming, industrial buildings, boats and much more. Operating principle The BirdGard Super Pro PA4 emits at irregular and freely adjustable intervals the fear, warning and panic cries of the bird/game species selected when purchasing the product. The built-in sound chip contains eight different fear and panic cries of birds/wildlife in combination with raptor sounds. The sound chip can be exchanged with other bird/wildlife species if required. Hearing these cries triggers an escape instinct among the animals and they leave the area. To avoid habituation, only four voices should be active at the same time. For optimal bird/wildlife control the voices must be changed every 5-4 days and the break times adjusted if necessary. The power supply is usually provided by a 12V car battery (not included) or by a suitable power supply unit (not included). The following settings can be adjusted individually: infinitely adjustable volume, manual selection of bird cries as well as an automatic start at sunrise and shutdown at sunset or a 24h mode.
