Duck Repellent

Bird Repeller

The blackbirds, a migratory boredom to the farmers and an ecological friendly approach to push back them.

About 70 millions of blackbirds come by the Plains of the north every year, including almost 6 million this stop in the Dakota of the North, the biologists say. Every blackbird protected by the Act of Treaty of Migratory Bird can nourish on of an ounce of seeds of sunflower daily. The USDA estimates blackbirds nourish on the value of more of $10 millions of sunflowers every year in the Dakota of the North, that represents half the production of sunflower of the nation.

What the does it attract? Water, cattails and the sunflowers, the perfect combination.

Now that we know what the attracts, how we can push back them better? Qu'a-t-il summer tried, which was inefficient and there is does not import what that works or has the promise of functioning and is sure to the environment? Flow the Type, a 100% force of dissuasion of ecological effective friendly bird in to manage blackbirds and Canadian Geese in a selection of harvests and in the various steps of growth.

Certain of the used means in to try to push back blackbirds include the officers of Federal wildlife targeting entire packages of earths maredcageuses of cattail-edtouffed in the Dakota of the North to kill the favorite habitat of blackbirds of sunflower scarfing. To date, about 60,000 half-hectares of marsh of cattail were destroyed in the Dakota of the North since 1991 in an attempt keeps blackbirds to dire straits. In 2008, almost 4,500 half-hectares of earths maredcageuses in 16 counties were treated in the Dakota of the North and 8,000 half-hectares are planned for 2009. The chemical product favorite for this is a weed killer that to better is only effective for 5 years. The Custodians of WildEarth, based in Santa Fe., NM. alla¨gue that the agency of Services of Wildlife of the Federal Agricultural Department violates the Act of Own Federal Water while applying weed killers on the earths maredcageuses in North and Dakota of the South to kill cattails. In April 2009, it notified the USDA that they classified a process in the Federal Court. A group spokesperson says that the it is ironic that certain of the cattails sprayed with the weed killer are on the earths maredcageuses governments confirmed created using federal funds. A spokesperson of the same complaints of group "A group of special interest takes advantage to the detriment of the taxpayers, to the detriment of our own water and our wildlife". I would have disputes myself that the Dakota of the North Farmer is not a group of special interest. The farmer of Dakota of the North is an important party of farming "American". In 2008, the cost to kill cattails was $166.000,00 to spray 3,700 half-hectares of earths maredcageuses in the Dakota of the North and 99 half-hectares in the Dakota of the South. Scott McLeod, a biologist for the conservation group Eludes Limitless based in Bismarck, Dakota of the North said, "Killing cattails has minimal impact to waterfowl, good or bad". It called the federally subsidized cattail-enla¨vement program a "the approach Band Helps" to an impossible problem.

The sunflower planters tried a selection of other means of check during the years, including the canons of propane, the electronic noise conceives, the airplanes and the rifles tedledcommandeds to frighten birds of the fields. The Wildlife Maintains also subsidized a program that implied sows small "the plots of bait of sunflowers close to the earths maredcageuses where the blackbirds perch themselves, hoping that it would keep them of treats itself on bigger farmers fields commercial. The difficulties with these types of means of force of dissuasion are the exclusion more acoustic, more visual and more physical does not work well or long since the birds are accustomed to these means types, and they become inefficient.

To date, no forces of dissuasion of bird currently are recorded for ripens grain, the sunflower, the bean or the corn crop. Flock type nevertheless, a 100% force of dissuasion of ecological friendly bird, proved effective to manage blackbirds in the sunflowers and the corn. During the years, a lot of birds force chemical dissuasions came and gone, partially had to lack effectiveness, but also because of the secondary effects of unfavorable health. In this moment, there is not of the effective, the degree of insecticide foods of chemical bird. The usage of avicides, a chemical product that is used to kill birds will continue to be controversial general public and of acceptance of lack. A major constraint to the development of forces of chemical dissuasions is the lack of encouragements of profit for the private corporations that see limited markets for the new products of check of bird. New every method of direction of damages of wildlife will undergo the meticulous examination public by the Act of politics of the National environment.

Currently a product that is totally chemical liberates and ecological friendly, named "Type of Flock", is put on the market and is distributed Fargo of west, Dakota of the North and revealed itself completely succeeded keeping blackbirds of the sunflowers. It shows also some very positive characteristics to Geese and the Canadian mouette. For the blackbirds nevertheless where the earths maredcageuses or water are close, a program of check of blackbird needs to be executed using a selection of means of force of dissuasion with the cooperation of the planter, EPA, the Wildlife Maintains the agency and the USDA. A several approach step without the usage of chemical products to destroy earths maredcageuses, the usage of chemical products as a dessicating one on the sunflower fields, or the poisons to kill birds need to be executed. This would include an educational program and subsidizing by the Federal Government since the birds and the earths maredcageuses are governed by them. The primary objective of the program needs to be to improve the profitability to the agricultural producers, improve health and the security of urban inhabitants, protect the environment by the development of strategies of recently improved directions and executing the new strategies of direction of wildlife. We can accomplish this by:

1. The usage of ecological friendly only not chemical products as Type of Flock applied to the harvests as a method of force of dissuasion.

2. The usage of small plots of "bait" of adjacent sunflowers to the commercial plots of sunflowers close to the sectors of earth maredcageuse that would not be treated with the type of forces of dissuasion of blackbird.

3. The earths maredcageuses manuellement of cattail harvesting and limiting or eliminating totally the usage of weed killers to push back them.

4. The usage of forces of acoustic and visual dissuasions for the heavy infestations jointly with the non chemical products.

5. The public education programs difficulty of bird for the farmers and the economical costs to the state in which these plagues migrate to and why the Federal dollars need to be used to help the producer maintains a sufficient profitable margin as they are vital such a link to the production of this product.

The five enumerated items above are only little of the a lot of possible tools that would increase and would improve the effectiveness of a program of direction of ecological friendly plague; but although the program is adopted and is integrated, it must converge and must count more heavily or exclusively on the products and the ecological friendly concepts. The coordinated efforts need to begin early in the season with the producer and the Wildlife Maintain the agency to identify the production sectors, the sectors of earth maredcageuse that would cause a problem for the planter and the strategies of a program of direction of wildlife edcologiquement-amical that will be executed to help the planter.
