Bird Control Helikites
Before Helikites were invented, agricultural bird control had always been a hit or miss affair, with old fashioned scarecrows or even the more modern bangers and wailers giving very variable protection, making it impossible for farmers to rely on them for long to counter expensive and often crippling crop losses. Birds are unpredictable and planning for them is very difficult. The scientifically designed, patented Helikite is the first and one of our best bird control systems that really works well over a long period of time because wild birds find it extremely difficult to overcome the innate terror of predatory hawks that Helikites create. Real hawks reinforce, so habituation is very unlikely – even after months without shooting.

Features
Partial cover to keep weight down.The Lightweight Helikite protects crops with good crop cover such as peas or laid cereals. They are also suitable for use in hot climates on all fruit, vegetable and arable crops. The silver Mylar balloon of the Lightweight Helikite is exposed, but it is still strong enough for many uses. The balloon is held onto the kite with straps. This means it is very lightweight and so flies better in extremely hot conditions and around buildings. Lightweight Helikites require no adjustment and fly happily in winds up to 25 mph (Force 6) in hot or cold climates. Lightweight Helikites are not as tough as Vigilante Helikites so Lightweight Helikites cannot be used on winter crops overnight or anywhere they
are likely to come down onto bare ground when wet. To counter this problem, Lightweight Helikites can be used with our optional 42 foot tall, aluminium Helikite Poles on landfill sites, factory rooftops and feedlots. Like any Helikites they are superb at scaring problem birds over vast areas.

Features
Full cover.The Vigilante Helikite is the primary Helikite birdscarer. Thousands have been sold to arable farmers, fruit growers and other satisfied customers worldwide. A unique combination of kite, helium balloon and protective balloon cover the Vigilante Helikite flies up to 200 feet with up to 20 mph or without any wind to scare birds over areas as large as 25 acres. The hovering Helikite mimics the action of birds of prey as it moves around the sky. The Vigilante Helikite will come down in the rain but the unique protective cover protects the balloon from punctures until it dries out and automatically re-launches itself again. They are very frugal with helium – only using a few pence worth of the gas per day. The disposable inner balloons tend to last about 3 to 4 weeks before they wear out. Then they can be replaced very quickly. Vigilante Helikites are easy to transport in cars and can be stored anywhere. They are tough and well suited to their rough lives on farms worldwide.

Bird Control Kites
About Falcon FrightKites THEY FLY LIKE REAL FALCONS! FrightKites are self-launching, silently patrolling the skies over your vineyard, farm, or almost any location where pest birds are present. FrightKites soar high in the sky so they are readily seen by birds approaching from long distances – you can actually see the birds fly off in terror the moment they spot your FrightKite! The reason FrightKites are so effective is that they work on the birds’ natural fear of prey birds. In fact, they’re more afraid of attack from above than they are of humans because they can fly away from us at a moment’s notice. Not so with a falcon, who can attack on the ground or in the air. Unsurprisingly, the birds get out of there as quickly as possible to find greener pastures.

Features
The FrightKite Seems to Fly Forever. The FrightKite is much, much stronger than a toy kite. Its sturdy design and construction allows it to fly daily
in windy conditions of up to 25 mph without damage, however growers across the country leave it installed all season with winds that reach 45MPH. The skin is made from UV-resistant material to reduce sun damage and deterioration, and every component (spars, pole, stand, etc.) are made from the best commercial-grade materials for long-lasting durability. Easy to Assemble and Launch- Self-flying in winds as low as 2mph. Cost Effective- Costs much less in time and a fraction of the money for netting in vineyards. Highly Effective -Outperforms scarecrows, propane canons, squawk boxes, and reflective tape. Durable UV-resistant and constructed of sturdy materials for flight in wind, rain, and cold. Eco Friendly Bird Friendly -Birds are not harmed in any way.
In actual field tests running over 6 months, on FalconFrightKites were found to be 95%-100% effective!
