Agro-processing, food processing, and bioprocessing plants grapple with a variety of issues caused by large and small wild birds throughout the year.
Nuisance birds such as Canada geese, gulls, pigeons, starlings, and other smaller birds are attracted to these properties due to factors including:
- Food: large, open grass areas, as well as food waste, are generally present
- Water: large open sources of water are generally available
- Shelter: structures provide protection to small wild birds from predators and weather extremes
Nuisance Bird Risks to Agro-Processing, Food Processing & Bioprocessing
The main issues attributable to nuisance birds onsite include:
- Facility health risks: accumulated fecal matter and/or nesting materials often results in air or water quality issues
- Human health & safety risks: accumulated fecal matter and/or nesting materials can contaminate workspaces and create unsafe working conditions
- Product damage & loss: birds may disrupt operations, leading to decreased output and direct revenue loss
- Property & asset damage: facilities, heavy machinery, HVAC, roofs, etc. may be damaged by birds
Automated Lasers for Bird Management
Automated bird control lasers are effective solutions for deterring nuisance birds from grain and agroprocessing facilities. See how they work in action:
Solutions
Bird Lasers
Automated lasers with customized programming based upon specific bird species and property characteristics to harmlessly deter birds.
Netting & Bird Exclusion
Netting, Flock Off and other bird exclusion solutions prevents bird access to soffits, rooftops, overhangs, entrances, loading docks and other bird-prone areas.
Population Control
Strengthen biosecurity and reduce human health and safety risks by reducing the population of waterfowl, migratory, and resident bird species on your property.
