Automated Haze Systems with Methyl Anthranilate Eliminate Nuisance Birds in Aviation Hangars, Warehouses, Airports

Bruce E. Vergote-2002-01-01-Insecta mundi

TL;DRAbstract

Automated haze systems (The BirdHazer) combined with Methyl Anthranilate (MA) is proven effective and cost efficient as an application method for eliminating nuisance birds in aviation hangars, warehouses, and airport facilities. Proper placement of the BirdHazer system which is based on air flow circulation allows to deliver a clean, dry haze, producing a mean droplet diameter size of 5 microns , which also eliminates the possibility of permeation and any settled residue. Three preliminary test studies were successfully completed at 2 dairy barn locations, and a salt storage warehouse. The fourth testing site was conducted at a maintenance hangar at Lemoore Naval Air Station, Lamoore, CA. This hangar had approximately 50 nesting pigeons (Columba livia). The BirdHazer unit was installed above an office in a back corner of the hangar. Concluding results indicate elimination of all birds within the 75-ft radius. A later discovery indicated that prevailing wind direction moved the MA prod
