Protect By Crop

Nuts

PREVENT BIRD DAMAGE TO NUTS

Crows, ravens, jays and other birds cause huge financial losses for nut farmers. Each crow or raven in your orchard can consume or steal up to a half pound of nuts every day from husk split through harvest. In the process of stealing a single nut they often knock many more to the ground, making them unsellable. It’s estimated that a flock of 200 crows can cause up to $45,000 in crop loss in a single season in a pecan orchard. Crows and ravens also damage irrigation lines and steal emitters, causing some trees to suffer root rot while others die from lack of water.

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 nut growers for more than 30 years to eliminate birds and the damage they cause.

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.
