Airports are experiencing higher levels of activity than ever before, resulting in the potential for significant disruptions to carefully planned routes and schedules due to even minor delays. However, many avoidable incidents, such as bird strikes, can be prevented. Both small and large birds have the ability to infiltrate aircraft engines, causing mechanical malfunctions and extensive (not to mention unpleasant) repair work.
Instead of subjecting passengers to lengthy delays and causing harm to birds, adopt these straightforward and uncomplicated strategies for bird control.
1. Reduce food sources
Birds are naturally drawn to easily accessible meals, so it is important to ensure that all types of food are properly stored and out of view from birds. This might involve implementing regulations prohibiting employees from eating outside and ensuring that restaurants within the terminal use durable trash bags and seal them tightly.
2. Control other critter populations
Free meals for birds do not have to consist solely of leftovers. Larger birds, such as vultures or condors, may visit the terminal area in search of mice and rats scurrying across the tarmac. Implementing measures to minimize or eliminate rodent issues can also contribute to reducing bird-related problems.
3. Remove surrounding trees
Trees naturally attract birds as they offer shelter, resting spots, and sometimes even a source of food. Consequently, if an airport is located near a densely wooded area, one can expect a higher number of birds during take-off. Clearing the trees surrounding the property can help mitigate bird-related complications.
4. Trim the grass
Tall grass can serve as a refuge for birds and other wildlife. It provides cover from larger birds that may be on the hunt. Conversely, some birds prefer shorter vegetation, which makes it easier for them to locate their own food and detect any potential predators. It is essential to research the specific bird species causing issues to determine the appropriate grass length for trimming.
5. Apply bird repellent to the runway
Pestman Bird Repellent is a bio-based slow-release biological formulation developed by Pestman, using modern biotechnology, specifically designed for bird repellence in agriculture and airports. This innovative product aims to provide an eco-friendly and non-toxic solution. The principle behind Pestman Bird Repellent is based on the aversion and avoidance reactions triggered in birds by the active ingredients derived from bio-based sources. These reactions occur in the birds’ olfactory and gustatory systems, leading them to develop allergic and aversive responses. This effectively drives the birds away from the areas where the bird repellent has been applied, thereby achieving the goal of deterring them without causing harm.
Applying Pestman is a straightforward process. It is sprayed onto the desired areas using a sprayer. To ensure proper use, pour the Pestman bird repellent into the sprayer container and add the specified amount of water based on the 250x dilution factor. Thoroughly stir the mixture to achieve an even consistency. After emptying the liquid formulation from the plastic barrel, make sure to rinse the barrel multiple times with clean water and add the washing liquid to the sprayer container. The recommended dosage rate for Pestman is 900 grams per hectare. It is advisable to spray the formulation on the airport runway, lawns, surrounding trees, and bushes. In order to reduce the dossage rate of Pestman bird repellent and reduce costs, it is recommended to spray alternately on the airport runway and lawn.
Pestman Bird Repellent offers significant commercial value as an environmentally friendly solution for effective bird control at airports. Its ability to deter birds without causing harm aligns with humane practices, while meeting strict environmental regulations. By investing in this product, airports can improve aviation safety, enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs associated with bird strikes, and demonstrate their commitment to sustainable practices. With its versatility and efficacy, Pestman Bird Repellent emerges as a valuable tool in avian management, addressing bird migration challenges and ensuring a safer and more efficient airport environment.
