RECENT TESTING AND INSTALLATIONS WHILE USING MA FOR BIRD CONTROL:

Bird Buffer using MA installations: Thomas Produce Co, Boca Raton, FL, 10-05. Installed 500’ of 18” diameter tubing throughout a food packaging plant with over 450 employees. For 25 years of trying to stop birds, nothing had worked. After several months with the Bird Buffer, an independent government food inspection company gave certified results of “free of birds.”

A Bird Buffer bird control machine recently installed at the University of Florida, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (better known as “Gator Stadium”), created immediate results. The birds cleared out quickly and have not returned. The employees and visitors have also commented on how good the stadium now looks and smells.

The pest control company said they had such great results, one machine can do the entire stadium. The customers comments were, “It’s about time you did something about the birds!”

Bird Buffer 2 week installation: Crane and Crane Orchards 3-06, Bird pressure intense over cherry orchard. 2 weeks before harvest, birds reduced 80% over 11 acres of cherry trees.

Bird Buffer 2 week installation: Apple Eye Orchard, Lake Chelan, WA 6-06, Gala apple orchard with high bird pressure reduced bird pressure 96% in 3 acres while machine was releasing invisible nano-particles over the top of the fruit trees. Results were higher count of undamaged fruit.
