   Horticulture & Bird Control

 

Being a horticulturalist you have invested money and time in the science and art of producing and improving fruits, vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants. Effective, low cost pest control and avian protection products to protect fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers against birds has always been a challenge. You can spend thousands of pounds to try and protect your crop to no avail. Netting is in constant need of repair and birds get caught in the netting causing even more issues.

A Peregrine TM Hawk Kite will give you peace of mind that your investment is protected from nuisance birds. It is a remarkable bird scarer. It is a popular product for fruit growers as well to protect strawberries, blueberries, cherries and precious vineyards.

 

When placing a Peregrine TM Hawk Kite, you will notice immediately that it scares birds away. Birds have an instinctive fear of Peregrine Falcons and the Peregrine TM Hawk Kite on that fear. The Peregrine TM Hawk Kite is a safe, environmentally friendly way to scare off unwanted birds.

Hawk Kite Area Bird Control Coverage

 

Listed in the tables below are the areas that one 13 Metre Peregrine TM Hawk Kite Combination set and One 7 Metre Peregrine TM Hawk Kite Combination set will each cover.  Area coverage will go up it two or more sets are used together in a figure 8 pattern.

 

Below these two Peregrine TM Hawk Kite tables is a another table showing the area coverage of one Helikite. If  more area to be covered is needed, a helikite might be the solution for you. Please note that Helikites need helium and are mostly used by farms and landfill sites. The combination of a hawk kite and helikite is very effective for farm and landfill use. Helikites are available through Bird Control Systems Ltd. and it's distributers

 

The higher up in the air the kite or helikite is, the better coverage it has. 7 Metre Hawk Combinations fly 12 metres (40ft) in the air, 13 metre hawk kite combinations fly 25 metres (82 ft) in the air. Helikites fly 60 metres (196ft) in the air.

 

7 metre glass fibre poles need to be replaced periodically if used constantly year round with heavy use. 13 metre poles are made of aluminium and will last for many years.

For more information on Helikites, click on the helikite image. A favorite of farms and landfill sites.

This image is of a typical figure 8 pattern (two hawk kites) that farmers use for more than one hawk kite (or helikite).  This extends the coverage, birds are afraid of going between the hawk kites. It is an effective way of implementing bird control.
