“I can’t believe the difference! We had birds roosting in our barns, millions of them… and Bird Gard got rid of them all. It took about 3 weeks and they were GONE. In the years since they never came back. What we are saving on feed and clean up pays for Bird Gard many times over!”

The Problem
Birds Spread Disease and Increase Costs
According to the Journal of Dairy Science 95.11 (2012) 6820-6829, a starlings’ feed consumption increase daily production costs by $0.92 per cow (this number is significantly higher today). Shwiff, Stephanie A., et al. “Producer survey of bird-livestock interactions in commercial dairies.”
Bird Flu (H5N1) has spread fear among the media and consumers.

FAQs About Our Technology
How does Bird Gard help prevent avian flu on dairy farms?
Bird Gard uses a variety of auditory bio-acoustics that are randomized where no pattern can be detected. By preventing birds from congregating and nesting in your production areas, Bird Gard minimizes the exposure of wild birds to your livestock.
Can Bird Gard be customized to different birds and differnet types of farms or dairies?
Absolutely! We understand that every farm has unique challenges and requirements. Our Bird Gard units can be customized for a variety of agricultural settings, including livestock operations, vineyards, orchards, and row crops. We offer different models and accessories to best match the size of your area and the specific bird species you’re dealing with.
Is Bird Gard safe for my crops, livestock, and the environment?
Yes, Bird Gard products are designed to be safe for use around crops, livestock, and the natural environment. The sounds emitted by our devices are natural and do not involve any chemicals or harmful substances, making it a completely eco-friendly solution. Our goal is to help you protect your farm in a way that is safe for you, your assets, and the ecosystem.
How long does it take to see results?
Most of our customers see an instant reduction in their bird population. However, the exact time to see results can vary depending on the size of the area being protected, the type of birds being deterred, and the density of the bird population. Getting the Bird Gard systems up well before the birds establish a feeding pattern and consistent use of systems is key to long-term success.
What is needed for installation?
The speaker is built to affix to a 1” diameter pole/conduit. The pole can be secured to a rafter or support post high in the feed alley where the birds are roosting. The control box and wires must be mounted out of the reach of the livestock. If installing outside (not in a covered area), the 1” diameter pole can be secured to the ground by hose clamping it to one or two t-posts (depending on susceptibility to high winds) – brackets are provided by Bird Gard. Assembly and installation typically takes approximately 45 – 60 minutes to complete and can take less time per system when doing additional units. We do not supply the 1” diameter pole nor the 12-volt deep cycle battery (if using solar). These items are more expensive to ship than for the user to purchase themselves locally. Do not obstruct the speakers as this may affect efficacy. It is HIGHLY recommended that the systems be placed where noted on the Coverage Map provided by your Bird Gard specialist. Call or email your specialist should you have any questions.
Does any other bird deterrent company offer species targeted bio-acoustics utilizing randmoization and pattern disruption?
No. This technology is exclusive to Bird Gard and is considered proprietary property. No other bird deterrent company randomizes their stimuli while targeting a specific bird species.
I have tried other deterrents, and the birds just get used to it. Why is Bird Gard different?
No bird deterrent company will keep out 100% of the birds. Birds are a wild animal driven by a natural instinct to eat and survive. And, like birds sitting on top of a scarecrow, they will habituate to anything that has a regular pattern. While we do not discourage the use of multiple deterrents, no other company but Bird Gard randomizes their stimuli to combat habituation and customizes their system to target a specific bird species.
Isn’t Bird Gard just a squawk box that produces a sound?
No! Sound is very different from bio-acoustics. Devices, such as squawk boxes, pyrotechnics, and cannons generate non-targeted generic noises that have repeated patterns and no customization. Bird Gard produces a biological acoustic that replicates the warning language of a specific bird species. Randomized profile lengths and randomized time off intervals in the Bird Gard systems create a pattern disruption to combat habituation and directly targets the nuisance bird species at your dairy farm or livestock operation.
