Bird Control Group

Three years of independent research. One clear finding.

A new field study by Michigan State University Extension and Purdue University confirms the effectiveness of AVIX Autonomic in reducing bird activity and grape damage across multiple growing seasons.

Independent Study Confirms AVIX Lasers Reduce Vineyard Bird Damage A 3-year study by MSU & Purdue confirms automated laser deterrents reduce wine grape damage incidence by 37%. Read the research findings.

10 years of bird control at Cardiff Airport.

For a decade, Cardiff Airport has relied on AVIX laser technology to manage bird activity—from gulls and rooks to ravens, jackdaws, crows, and geese.

And right now, as autumn migration gets underway across the Northern Hemisphere, bird movements are changing again. September is a key period for migration, with many species moving south and waterfowl beginning to arrive in greater numbers.

But for airports, bird control isn't seasonal — it's an ongoing operational priority.

Wine grape season has arrived across the Northern Hemisphere—and with it, one of the biggest challenges of the growing season: protecting ripening grapes from birds.

At Talbott Vineyard in California’s Santa Lucia Highlands, Gallo could have turned to traditional methods like netting or chemical repellents. Instead, they chose a solution that aligned with their long-standing commitment to sustainable farming.

They installed 13 solar-powered AVIX Autonomic laser systems to protect the vineyard without chemicals or harm to birds—and without drawing additional power from the grid.

The result? A non-lethal deterrent that works with birds’ natural behavior, helping protect the harvest while leaving the surrounding ecosystem undisturbed.

The project is featured on page 30 of Gallo’s Sustainability Impact Report—a small example of how nearly a century of environmental commitment can translate into practical choices in the field.

Gallo’s Use of Laser Bird Deterrent for Sustainable Farming Gallo sought a sustainable & effective way to protect its vineyards. After evaluating options, they chose to implement a laser bird deterrent

For offshore platforms, nesting birds are a direct operational hazard—obscuring landing markings, damaging equipment, and forcing helicopters to divert or delay landings.

At Maersk Oil's FSP platform in the North Sea, that risk was real: nesting gulls were putting helicopter landings at risk and driving up structural damage to the helideck, with annual cleaning and maintenance costs reaching £20,000. After switching to the AVIX Handheld, gull numbers dropped from 300 to under 80.

Automotive plants are practically built to attract birds: massive roof spans, exposed steel trusses, and open loading bays make ideal shelter and nesting ground.

The cost is real: corroded paint on staged vehicles, roofs losing up to 50% of their lifespan, and health risks for maintenance crews working the ductwork.

The good news? It's entirely preventable.

In our latest blog, we break down why these facilities are high-risk, what the damage actually costs, and how automated bird deterrence is helping plants cut bird-related losses by up to 80%.

How to Prevent Bird Damage in Automotive Plants Bird damage in automotive plants costs thousands in paint repair, downtime, and health risks. See the causes, real costs, and fixes.

A single flock can measurably cut into your harvest returns.

Aug–Oct marks peak blackbird flocking season before migration, per USDA APHIS—right as crops are ready for pickup and the the impact shows up across farms of every size.

See what real AVIX customers experienced during harvest season and what active, 24/7 protection can mean for your yield.
