RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF AVIAN REPELLENT TECHNIQUES

Temporarily alter rock dove behavior during a 10-day treat. However, he reported thatĪ combination of a visual device (tested as Deva-SpinningĮyes) and a sonic device (tested as Deva-Megastress II) did UET-360) was not effective in reducing rock dove activityĭuring a 20-day treatment period. Necki (1988) reported that an ultrasonic device (Ultrason Martin and Martin (1984)įound another ultrasonic device to be ineffective. (1987) tested a commercial ultrasonic unit against numerousīird species in the mid-Atlantic United States and found noĪpparent effect on bird activity. Generally were not effective in repelling birds. (1992) surmised that high-įrequency sound (>20,000 Hz or cycles per second) devices Ultrasonic devices likely will not be a viable option as aĭeterrent for birds. Providing examples of relative efficacy of each technique. Table 1 is a synthesized literature review We begin this section with a tabular summary of relativeĮfficacy of harassment, repellent, and deterrent techniquesįor birds at airports.
