Repelling birds requires regular monitoring and active management. Birds are intelligent and
highly adaptable so it is important to create and maintain an environment the birds perceive
as hostile and dangerous. This is achieved by playing the sounds frequently and at a high
volume, otherwise the birds will not be fully repelled and will soon learn to adapt.
Below are the initial settings that should be used when your Mega Blaster PRO is first
installed. Please see the “Bird Control Management Guidelines” section for more information.
Recordings
There are eight separate bird sounds contained on the Replaceable Sound Card. The label on the sound card lists each sound with a number
corresponding to the eight “RECORDINGS” dip switches to the left of the Sound Card. Initially all RECORDING switches should
be turned ON. If
the target birds begin returning, periodically change the switch settings for the eight sounds (turning them ON or OFF).
NOTE:
NEVER turn OFF
the distress calls of the target birds you are trying to repel and always keep at least one predator bird sound turned ON.

When the Mega Blaster PRO unit is first installed the TIME OFF INTERVAL should be set to SHORT to create the greatest sense of
danger and move the birds out of the area the fastest.
Once the birds have left the area completely for a week or more you may try increasing
the TIME OFF INTERVAL gradually, but you must monitor the birds carefully. Switch back to SHORT at the first sign birds are returning.
