Bird Control Management Guidelines
An active bird control management program is a key to successfully repelling pest
birds. Bird feeding patterns may take several days or weeks to break. Follow all
suggestions for maximum effectiveness. Read all instructions prior to installation.
For best results:
•
It is extremely important to fully protect your entire area from birds.
Any areas not fully protected will allow birds
to begin feeding at the fringes of the sound coverage. They will soon become bolder and learn the sounds are
nothing to fear. This will cause the effectiveness to diminish. Complete Bird-X product coverage forces birds to leave
the area entirely.
•
Install the Mega Blaster PRO unit at least two weeks before birds are attracted to your area. It is much easier to keep
birds away before they have found a food source than it is to repel them once they have developed a feeding pattern.
•
Most birds begin feeding from the perimeter of an area. Place Mega Blaster PRO units so the sound protection
covers past the edges of the area.
•
Birds will often use tall trees for roosting and observation. If birds are in bordering trees it is necessary to position the
units so the sound protection covers the trees as well.
•
Mount the 20-Speaker Tower at least five feet above trees, areas and structures for maximum coverage. The higher
the better. Sound will disperse or reflect off structures or foliage. Mount control unit out of direct sun, if possible.
•
When first installed, run Mega Blaster PRO units at FULL volume and on SHORT time off periods. This ensures
maximum “bird stress” and creates a hostile environment.
•
Watch for changes in bird activity and adjust the location of your Mega Blaster PRO unit if needed.
•
Check the battery and unit settings often to insure continuous bird control. Be certain that the system is not
turned down or has a dead battery. Field hands or harvesters may turn down the volume.
•
Changing settings and switches often helps to prevent bird habituation. Periodically change the switch settings of the
eight sounds (turning them ON or OFF). 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.
•
If different bird species enter the protected area and begin causing damage contact us immediately for an updated
Sound Recording Card designed to repel the new invading birds.
•
Remember that the Mega Blaster PRO system is a management tool, and should be used as part of your overall bird
control strategy, sometimes in conjunction with other bird control techniques and devices.
Be aware that under extreme drought or other adverse conditions, birds will disregard all deterrents and risks in
order to survive
