Crow Scarers

Humane solutions to keep crows away

Crows are clever problem solvers. Their intelligence, loud cawing and taste for seeds and fruit make them unwelcome visitors on farms, orchards and allotments. When a large flock descends on your field the damage can be extensive, from ruining ripening crops to tearing open bin bags and spreading rubbish across a site.

Even in built up areas, crows can foul walkways and pose health risks. A reliable crow scarer helps to reclaim your space without harming these protected birds.

Key Benefits of
Crow Scarers

  • Protect Crops, Property and Public Spaces: Crow scarers safeguard farms, orchards, allotments and urban areas from the extensive damage that large flocks can cause..

  • Humane, Non‑Lethal Bird Control: All wild birds and their nests are protected by law. Modern crow scarers deter birds without harming them.

  • Wide Range of Deterrent Options: Visual deterrents such as hawk kites, auditory deterrents such as bio acoustic systems Lasers, netting, spikes and falconry.

  • Highly Effective When Combined: Integrated strategies that mix several types of deterrents prevent crows from becoming accustomed to a single device.

  • Customisable and Adaptable: Professional systems, such as programmable bio acoustic devices and the AVIX Autonomic laser, allow for adjustable patterns, timing and frequency of deterrents

Choosing the Best crow scarer

The best crow scarer is rarely a single product. Factors to consider include the size of the area, neighbouring buildings, noise restrictions and the type of crop or property being protected. An integrated plan often delivers the most consistent results:

  • Laser deterrence: Integrated Bird Management’s AVIX Autonomic laser projects a green beam that birds perceive as a solid object.

  • Bio acoustic systems: broadcast alarm calls; suitable for orchards, landfills and rooftops.

  • Hawk kites: simulate a predator in flight; best for open spaces like fields and car parks.

  • Netting and mesh: create a physical barrier over crops or structures so birds cannot land or nest.

  • Bird spikes: narrow metal or polycarbonate rods fitted to ledges and beams prevent crows from perching.

Why prevention is crucial to commercial bird control

Fire Hazards
Leakage
Unsafe work conditions
Transmitted diseases
Damage to buildings

Sound based scarers use the natural language of birds to move them on. Distress calls of rooks, rooks and predator cries signal danger to an approaching flock. An electronic bio acoustic system cycles through species specific alarm calls so birds do not habituate. This works well across open farmland, orchards and flat roofs where physical barriers are impractical.

You can set the frequency and volume to suit local conditions and avoid disturbing neighbours. Integrated Bird Management’s bio acoustic equipment can be tailored to target only crows, meaning smaller songbirds are unaffected.

Crow scarer kite – lifelike predators for natural deterrence

Crows instinctively fear birds of prey. Hawk kites exploit this by imitating a falcon in flight. Mounted on a five or seven metre pole, it sways and circles in the wind, covering a large radius without any power source. Because it is always moving and appears lifelike, crows perceive an active predator and avoid the area.

Hawk kites are popular for crops, vineyards, sports grounds and flat roofs. They are humane, silent and easy to install. To maintain their effectiveness, relocate the pole occasionally and pair the kite with other deterrents such as netting or acoustic devices.

Automatic crow scarers operate continuously, giving round the clock protection without constant human intervention. Integrated Bird Management’s AVIX Autonomic laser system delivers immediate and long lasting results.

Birds perceive the moving green beam as a threat and leave immediately. The device is fully programmable with up to sixteen patterns and multiple time slots, allowing it to focus on trouble spots at different times of day.

Because it is silent, the AVIX Autonomic is neighbour friendly. It requires minimal maintenance, with modular components that can be replaced quickly, and the laser bulb needs changing only every three to five years.

Effortless bird control

Effective on rooftops and outdoor locations

The AVIX Autonomic bird deterrents effectively keep birds off rooftops and prevent birds from nesting. The system projects a laser light that scares birds away, making them relocate from the area.

Ideal for keeping birds away from buildings

The AVIX Autonomic works well in both indoor and outdoor locations. The laser projection is highly customizable via our mobile App, allowing you to target the areas of your buildings where birds roost.

crow scarer FAQs

Yes. Bird scarers are legal and considered essential for protecting crops and property. However, their use must comply with the code of practice to avoid causing a statutory nuisance. Auditory scarers should not operate before sunrise or after sunset and must not sound more than four times per hour. Devices must be sited away from homes and maintained properly.

They trigger the birds’ natural fear response. Visual scarers imitate predators or create unexpected flashes that signal danger. Auditory scarers broadcast alarm calls or loud bangs. Laser systems project a moving green spot that birds interpret as a physical object and avoid.

A combination of deterrents is usually most effective. Visual devices like hawk kites exploit crows’ fear of predators, while bio acoustic systems broadcast distress calls. For large sites, laser systems offer silent, twenty four hour protection. Pair these with proper waste management and removal of nesting sites to discourage crows from returning.
