Rentokil Intelligent Bird Scaring

Birds like pigeons, geese, gulls and starlings can negatively impact your business in several ways. They can be a health risk; particularly with their droppings which can spread diseases. They can damage infrastructure and be a general nuisance to you and your customers. Rentokil Intelligent Bird Scaring is an efficient solution devised to repel birds without injury. It operates 24/7 to protect your premises, diminish inhabitation and can be operated and monitored from an app on your smartphone or tablet.

Nuisance birds can be deterred using simpler methods such as bird nets, spikes and bioacoustics, however several species show adaptive intelligence to render these methods unsustainable. When a flock of birds realise that a particular sound does not pose a real threat, they can rapidly become accustom to it, and return to roost or nest in that location.

The solution? An intelligent and adaptive scare device that effectively deters birds without harming them and helps prevent the risk of habituation.

The Rentokil Intelligent Bird Scaring system is frequently deployed in a wider overall IPM (Integrated Pest Management) system that can have Hawking (Birds of Prey) deterrent and other bird management solutions like netting and bird spikes.

The bird scaring device has an on-board listening system which allows it to differentiate between species (it can recognise starlings, rooks, geese and gulls each by their individual sounds) and selects the most appropriate tool to deter them. To avoid flocks becoming used to the sounds, the device can adjust its intensity and order of the scaring tools and it can detect a flock within a 250-metre radius.

The system can be activated in a pattern whereby time of activation, volume and specific bird calls are all irregular. The sytem can be controlled and adjusted through the app, giving you freedom to adjust the system to however is most effective to your needs in order to best protect your premises.

Adding a solar charging panel to the Rentokil Intelligent Bird Scaring system can make it even more sustainable. You would then be able to optimise the system by placing it in the most appropriate position to deter nuisance birds as it will operate totally independently of any other power supply.
