Bird Buster

Home

When a variety of Farmers were asked about some of their ongoing issues, one of the overwhelming responses was the problem of birds nesting in farm machinery and equipment.

We set about researching and developing an alarm to help eliminate the nesting problem caused by birds in and around farm machinery. The straw from the nests has been the cause of many untimely fires. The result of this development is the ‘Bird Buster’.

In only minutes birds can start forming nests in the little warm nooks under your bonnet. This Farmer below went to use his tractor only to find this little surprise under the hood. Very lucky to spot this before a fire started! tractor_nest

The ‘Bird Buster’ is an audible alarm that runs on a dual-flexi timer system, emitting a high pitched frequency at random intervals, deterring almost all bird species likely to cause a problem with nesting in and around farm machinery. The ‘Bird Buster’ can be easily self installed.

The ‘Bird Buster’ has been patented, designed and built in New Zealand from our small company based in Palmerston North.

"Steelfort Engineering Rangitikei Line Palmerston North Re: The Bird Buster Deterrent System. It wasn't only because of the mess the birds were depositing on the new products in our distribution warehouse, but also because the birds were setting the alarms off night after night that we were compelled to act to clear the building of birds. We decided to have a Bird buster System installed in the main problem area after unsuccessfully trying other deterrents and after hearing favourable comments about the Bird buster System's effectiveness. The Alarm was timer set to activate late in the afternoon before the main doors were closed, remain on during the night and deactivate approximately an hour after opening the doors the following morning. An immediate decrease in bird numbers was noticed in the distribution warehouse building. We were impressed with the results achieved and recommend the Bird Buster as a simple and effective bird deterrent. Ash Danjee Purchasing Manager Steelfort Engineering Palmerston North"

"I confirm that I was fortunate enough to be offered the opportunity to trial the bird alarm. I was particularly interested in using this in my horse truck which unfortunately suffers an epidemic of bird nesting during the season. The truck is located in a very large implement shed/stable area which is also infested with birds during the nesting season. I installed the device near the truck and then cleared the area affected by nesting. The birds did not return to the truck and I noticed a significant decrease in the number of birds nesting in the shed, particularly in the immediate proximity of the alarm’s location. I believe the alarm is very effective and has great potential to be developed further to operate in larger areas. Yours faithfully, CP Brosnahan"

"Re: Bird Buster The frustration of birds roosting and nesting in our sheds and tractors has been with us for a long time. Apart from the obvious risk of fire from nests in tractor engines I loathe the mess birds when make roosting above machinery and vehicles. In the past we have tried various methods to eliminate or reduce bird numbers, including sticky gel on perching areas, hanging owls, treated wheat and electronic bird noises. These have all met with very limited or short term success, so when I heard about the Bird Buster I was very keen to try it. We installed 3 Bird Busters in an open implement shed, an enclosed workshop and the farm dairy and have had them operating for about 8 months now. They have certainly been the best deterrent we have yet tried and have dramatically reduced the numbers of sparrows and starlings in the sheds. This spring we have had no nests being built in the tractor engines, although we still leave the bonnets up when not in use, just to make sure everyone checks them before starting. We have even tried a Bird Buster at the maize silage stack where the number of sparrows can be particularly high. There has been a significant reduction in bird numbers there, although not eliminating them completely. I would certainly recommend the use of a Bird Buster to any farmer who has a bird nuisance. We wouldn’t be without ours now. Bryan Guy Aorangi Road, Feilding"
