RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF AVIAN REPELLENT TECHNIQUES Temporarily alter rock dove behavior during a 10-day treat. However, he reported thatĪ combination of a visual device (tested as Deva-SpinningĮyes) and a sonic device (tested as Deva-Megastress II) did UET-360) was not effective in reducing rock dove activityĭuring a 20-day treatment period. Necki (1988) reported that an ultrasonic device (Ultrason Martin and Martin (1984)įound another ultrasonic device to be ineffective. (1987) tested a commercial ultrasonic unit against numerousīird species in the mid-Atlantic United States and found noĪpparent effect on bird activity. Generally were not effective in repelling birds.
