PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Saelig Company, Inc. (www.saelig.com) announces the availability of the ScareCrow™ range of environmentally-harmless but highly-effective devices for getting rid of nuisance birds at golf courses, malls, parks, beaches, farms, airports or wherever they present a problem. GoosePatrol™ - a handheld megaphone, powered by standard C-cell batteries - comes pre-programmed with digitally recorded distress calls of Canadian Geese, seagulls, starlings, pigeons, and rooks. COMPACT 1313TM is a solar-powered stationary unit which can be permanently installed in one location or moved around to specific locations on a property. Both versions are guaranteed to rid a location of Canadian geese, gulls, pigeons, starlings and rooks. Complete, authentic, high-quality digitally recorded alarm calls of these species are preprogrammed in the devices, but alternate specific bird selections can be requested.
Because these devices issue authentic bird calls, people nearby do not notice anything other than natural bird noises. ScareCrow Alarms have the advantage of being effective, unobtrusive, and less costly than the other alternatives such as employing a handler with properly trained dogs to visit the properties, costing typically $400 to $600 a month. The wise birds often return soon after the dogs leave - not so with an automatic, standalone device like COMPACT1313! Other solutions such as firecrackers or shooting (where permitted) usually create more problems than they solve - and may not even work. Methods such as swans (live or decoy), reflectors and visual devices are also ineffective in the long term since birds soon become accustomed to them.
The COMPACT uses infrared sensor technology to detect arriving birds and automatically play whatever calls are selected for that location, as well as play the alarm calls at random intervals. COMPACT can operate unattended 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Selection and timing of the calls is easily adjustable. In addition to operating on its 12V solar-powered battery system, COMPACT can also run from a 15V DC or 120V AC line.
GoosePatrol and COMPACT are proven to be so effective they are employed at many thousands of airports and other locations worldwide to keep geese and other problem birds away. Several different distress calls of geese and seagulls are included in the standard digital recordings.
GoosePatrol and COMPACT made by Scarecrow Bio-Acoustic Systems Ltd (UK), have been widely used in Europe in rural, suburban and urban applications across a diverse range of industry sectors, including recreation, retail property, multifamily residential property, agriculture, manufacturing, petrochemical, marinas, landfill sites, waste transfer stations, off shore oil and gas platforms, offices, warehouses, sports stadia, and environmental management , as well as at more than 1,000 airports worldwide. Larger versions of these systems have recently been installed at several US airports.
At golf courses, malls, schools, parks, beaches, industrial sites, downtown environments and other situations where bird droppings create not only a health hazard but also legal liability and a source of public complaints, the benefits of these systems are immediate. Cleanup , dispersal costs and complaints are eliminated. Farmers with bird-ravaged crops can also see an immediate payback with higher yields of better quality produce. Both units are very easy to use, and the self-powered COMPACT1313 is easy to install by non-technical users, especially since no wiring is required.
Both GoosePatrol and COMPACT1313 are available now from Saelig Co. Inc. For pricing, detailed specifications, free technical assistance, or additional information, please contact (toll-free in the US) 1-888-7SAELIG, via email: info@saelig.com, or visit www.saelig.com.
