The repair costs for aircraft damaged by bird strikes are significant. Bird and other wildlife strikes result in over $650 million in damages to both civilian and military aviation in the United States every year. Furthermore, bird strikes pose a risk to the lives of crew members and passengers, with over 200 people worldwide having been killed as a result of wildlife strikes since 8. The high rotational speed turbine engine fans and compress makes them susceptible to damage even at low aircraft speeds. Damaged blades lead to power loss and generate unbalanced forces, which can cause engine shutdown.
Is possible to prevent bird strikes on airplanes?
Pestman Bird Repellent Microcapsule Suspoemulsion is an innovative product derived from natural sources. It has been specifically developed using advanced biotechnology to effectively deter birds from airports, without causing harm to them or the environment. By exploiting birds' sensitivities to the active ingredients present in the repellent, such as smell, vision, taste, and physiology, it triggers allergic reactions, loss of appetite, and fear responses, leading to a lasting aversion in their memory. This humane approach ensures that the birds do not return during the specified period. Additionally, this repellent can also be used to deter bats, mice, and rabbits. When sprayed on airport lawns, it discourages mice and rabbits from lingering.
Targeted bird species include Starlings, Swallows, Magpies, Sparrows, Skylarks, Pigeons, Shrikes, Kestrels, Turtledoves, Egrets, and more.
Advantages:
Wide coverage, suitable for all areas within the airport.
User-friendly with time and labor-saving features.
Effective in repelling birds for a prolonged period.
Suitable for all bird species.
Not only deters birds but also bats, mice, and rabbits.
Already utilized in over 150 civilian and military airports in China.
Application areas: Runways, lawns, surrounding trees, bushes, birdhouses, billboards, etc.
[Application time]
For birds, apply the repellent in the morning and evening.
For bats, it is advisable to spray at nightfall.
[Application method]
Pour the bird repellent into a spray container, then add the recommended amount of water (dilution ratio: 200-500 times) and mix thoroughly. Clean the empty container with water multiple times before pouring the mixture into the spray container.
[Recommended dosage]
Evenly spray the airport runway surface and lawn at a rate of 2250g per hectare. Alternatively, spray in alternate rows at a rate of 1125g per hectare. The dilution ratio depends on the severity of the bird problem, usually ranging from 100 to 500 times. A dilution ratio of 200 times is generally appropriate.
In cases of severe damage or sparrow control, evenly spray the surface and lawn. For runway surfaces, a dilution ratio of 100 times is recommended. For lawns, a dilution ratio of 200 times with water or mixed with pesticides is suggested.
For bat control, it is advisable to dilute the repellent with water at a ratio exceeding 200 times and primarily target the surface and lawn areas.
