Visual solutions

Birds also perceive external stimuli, particularly visual. The latest research shows that animals can see light with a wave length of 430 - 680nm. These are used in visual bird control devices.  
  • Stroboscare: transmits pulsing strobe explosions. Therefore, it is only approved for indoor use.
  • Lasers systems are relatively new on the market and are mainly used at airports.

The important characteristics of Stroboscare

  • Bright light flashes 25 to 120 times per minute, which drives away birds. The flashes are 15 million candlelight power. The Stroboscare energy consumption is 1500 watt.
  • Stroboscare is only approved for indoor use due to the bright light and potential risk to the human eye.
  • Therefore, they are mainly used in glass houses or aircraft hangers.  
  • The devices are controlled by a control unit. A motion sensor switches the devices on only if needed.

Pros
  • Strobe light deter birds.
  • The birds’ eyes are not injured by the light. But the birds are driven away.
Cons
  • Strobe light is not without risk to human eyes due to its intensity.
  • Stroboscare devices are only approved for indoor use.

The important characteristics of laser systems

Research has been carried out for many years on using lasers to control birds. It was found that birds´ eyes perceive light very strongly at a wave length of ca. 525mm. As this corresponds to green light, green lasers systems were developed.

The graph shows that birds´eyes can absorb green light in particular.

The commercially available TOM500 laser system was developed on the basis of this research. the system consists of a fixed Laser of the category 2M (IEC 60825-1 Standard) and emits a 150mm diameter laser beam. The laser is completely risk free, even if you look directly into the beam.

TOM500 can protect up to 3,000m of runways from birds and is as a professional device only approved for use at airports. There is also the LDU laser, which is installed on the LRAD acoustic beam system.

The V2.1 laser device was developed as an alternative. It is suitable for the innner areas of warehouses etc. It must always be directed to the roof.

Pros
  • The birds are driven away with a laser light that does not harm their eyes.
  • No habituation possible.
  • Silent and effective.
  • Long ranges can be achieved with lasers.
  • The laser can be regulated and is completely harmless.
  • Automatic and silent operations.
  • Used in particular to prevent aircraft bird strikes collisions. Achieved reduction in bird incidents on runways of at least 40%.
  • Does not distract pilots. The laser is always directed to the ground.
Cons
  • The laser can only be used in the professional sector.
  • With bright days of more than 15.000 lumina the performance is poor and it is then automatically switches off.
