Agriculture Pest Control
Agriculture and Pest Control
Pest birds damage food crops worldwide. Common agricultural pest birds include crows, starlings, blackbirds, sparrows, geese and pigeons; in many countries, local species also cause problems.
Besides reduced yield, widespread damage leaves crops unsalable.
- Pest birds eat grain crops including corn, rice, wheat, rye etc.
- Crows, blackbirds and starlings eat all kinds of fruits including grapes, blueberries, cherries, apples, stone fruits etc.
- Pigeons and doves destroy legumes
- Pest birds and rodents eat newly-seeded and emergent crops
- Cormorants, heron and other fish-eating birds reduce yields at fish far
For Pest Birds
Food is obviously a powerful attractant. Effective methods of protecting crops include exclusion, taste aversion, powerful sonic threats and intimidating visual scares. For specially stubborn infestations, combine methods for greatest success.
- Protect valuable crops with exclusion bird netting – 100% effective everywhere is installed, netting keeps pest birds and other critters out while allowing sunlight and moisture in.
- Use powerful sonic devices such as the Super BirdXPeller PRO or the Mega Blaster PRO to repel birds across large areas.
- Treat grain, seed, table grapes, berry, pome and stone fruit crops with biodegradable, food-grade Bird Stop prior to ripening.
- Install visual scares such as Terror Eyes or Irri-Tape to intimidate approaching birds.
- Protect emergent crops from pest geese with GooseBuster
- Treat ledges, beams and surfaces in storage buildings with surface repellents such as bird spikes or Bird Proof Gel.
For Rodents & Other Critters
To protect storage sheds or small gardens from rodents and other critters, create an irritant scent barrier using Nature’s Defense animal repellent granules. Nature’s Defense is a natural, 100% organic compound that is proven effective in keeping rodents, deer and other pest animals away. Nature’s Defense repellent granules deter 22 different species and are extremely resistant to rain and snow.
To keep rodents, bats and crawling insects out of farm houses, barns, stables, etc., use an ultrasonic device such as the Transonic PRO or the Transonic Bugchaser. To stop moles, gophers & other burrowing pests, install the Transonic Mole.
