BIRDHAZER Bird Aversion System from Birdtec

The BIRDHAZER System controls birds by misting the aversion material from a spray unit upwind of the working face. Microscopic droplets of the agent float in the air and act as a powerful repellent. Birds experience a painful response when they come in contact with as little as one molecule of the aversion agent, yet the haze is completely harmless to humans.

BIRDHAZER spray units are placed in key locations surrounding the working face. They are typically set back about 100 yards - out of the way of the heavy equipment. Units are placed so that the working face is always covered despite changes in wind direction.

The spray units are driven by compressed air, which is supplied through small, flexible plastic tubing that runs from a control trailer. The compact control trailer is a self-sufficient unit with a propane-powered compressor. It can be located up to 1000 yards from any spray unit.

The heads spray for 40 seconds at 2-5 minute intervals. Once set, the system is entirely automatic - there is no need for an operator to attend the control trailer.

The BIRDHAZER System can also mist NWC's Odor Ranger odor control agent.
