PREVENT BIRD DAMAGE TO VINEYARDS

Robins, starlings, finches, sparrows and many other birds cause extensive damage to grapes every year. A recent USDA study estimates grape growers can lose from 22% to 42% of their crop without aggressive bird control. Some pest birds can eat grapes whole, while others peck grapes. Pecking of grapes results in juice flowing down, causing bunch rot and ruining the whole cluster.

In addition, new FSMA Produce Safety Rules mandate that you take all measures reasonably necessary to identify and not harvest produce that is likely to be contaminated by birds and other wildlife. Large areas of your field may have to remain unharvested if bird intrusion is not prevented.

Bird Gard has been partnering with vineyard managers to protect their crops for more than 30 years.

“I didn’t lose any fruit for the first time in 15 years. Bird Gard works and I was that guy that said three different times I will want my money back if it doesn’t work. I’ve never asked for my money back.”

Electronic Bird Control

Bird Gard harnesses the power of the natural survival instincts in birds to effectively repel them. Digital recordings of species-specific distress and alarm calls, along with the sounds made by their natural predators, are broadcast through high fidelity, weather-resistant speakers. These trigger a primal fear-and-flee response. Pest birds soon relocate to where they can feed without feeling threatened.

Birds stay out… for good!

Our bird repellers continually randomize the order in which the sounds play, the time interval between the calls and the relative pitch of each bird sound. This creates the impression that there are many birds in distress in the protected area. This multi-layered randomization prevents birds from becoming habituated to the sounds. Bird Gard can protect your crop all the way through harvest, year after year.

Customized Proposals

To ensure that you get the most effective and efficient bird control, our team will create a free customized proposal using satellite imagery, showing the precise location to install your equipment.
