BroadBand PRO
BroadBand PRO targets pest birds with a combination of four sound types: distress cries to indicate danger to pigeons, starlings, gulls and more; predator cries, like falcons and hawks, to add realism; general harassments for an all-bird defense; and ultrasonic waves for day/night protection. The sound waves move from speaker to speaker for a constant, menacing defense. The sound forces birds to leave for good, yet its harmless to the birds and the environment. One unit covers up to 10,000 square feet. The system includes a 110v AC-unit control box, four speakers with 100-foot cords and an adaptor with cord and complete instructions. It costs $750.
