Hi Mike,
We have installed for a client of ours a modified ultrasonic based system of
Wailer. Their website as follows: http://www.scaringbirds.com/index.html
The system was installed on a 68m off-shore tower in Liverpool bay/UK. The
menace is large flocks of cormorant. They do exactly as you said, do their
fishing and bring the food back to the tower site and eat it.
The mess, both from avian deposits (read puh..) mixed with food left overs is
disgusting. Prior to any service on the structure, we high pressure clean the
platform dressed up as we are about to visit the reactors of Fukoshima.
I don't know the successes of the Wailer system (Sorry). Emitters where
installed at 4 levels.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Ridding Birds from the Tower
Ultra sonic projectors or yelpers of one kind or another have been mentioned
for ridding birds from towers. I have looked on-line and see a myriad of these
things. I would like to buy one. Did I also read that the sound is inaudible
to humans? That ALSO is what I need as it would have to be used at night many
times. If anyone has any direct or first hand knowledge of one of these please
get back to me off the reflector with the info. My problem is with the osprey
(sea birds) that like to roost on my tower day and night while they survey the
waters around here for prey which they brink back to the top of the tower to
eat. They make and leave a huge mess every day. You can't shoot them as some
might suggest, nor would I or could I as I am in a residential neighborhood ...
with bird lovers galore. I just want them on someone else's
home/tree/roof/tower anywhere else but here. - Mike

Mike, Different freqs for different varmints. I like the the ultrasonic yelper
function on my repellers that comes on and off in a pseudo random manner.
Birds don't like it. They will get used to nearly anything that is relatively
constant. Tangle foot is a good thing too.

I'm wondering if the supersonic squawker devices that are purported to repel
4 legged vermin might work for birds too.
