We have a small organic farm so the methods we can use for pest control are limited. Our challenge was several thousand red wing blackbirds that decided our trees and bamboo plantation were a perfect place to roost. They also decided that following our planter and eating the seed that we just planted was a good idea-- a good idea that cost us 50% of our last crop.
I had read about using propane cannons to control birds but was skeptical. But for about $350 it seemed worth giving it a try since the blasted birds were costing us thousands. It arrived on time, it takes less than five minutes to assemble it (just attaching legs) and setting it up at point-of-use is two minutes tops. Turn on the gas, set the regulator to get the bang spacing you want and you're done.
We use ours from 30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after with a bang about every 2-3 minutes. The first day we used it the very first bang sent thousands of blackbirds fleeing our bamboo and fruit trees. They'd come back and "bang" they were gone again. After three evenings of this "treatment" they do not come back anymore, they found a friendlier place to roost. We now use it one evening out of three and it's kept them away.
Now we're experimenting with having it in the field we're planting to keep birds from eating the seeds before they're no longer visible from the surface. Bang! and a 5 acre field is completely free of birds.
Oh... it uses so little propane that the gas in the hose is good for 2-3 bangs AFTER you close the valve. Learned that the noisy way the first night I put it away in the garage and closed the door.

Product Description
Powerful but Safe
How It Works
The G5 Bird and Wildlife Cannon protects large areas where birds and animals may threaten crops or livestock. It covers up to 7–10 acres depending on the layout and topography of your land. The telescoping barrel allows you to adjust the sound intensity from 110–120 decibels. Blast intervals can be set to fire anywhere between 2 to 30 minutes apart using the included regulator. Because the G5 Bird and Wildlife Cannon is powered by propane it won't cost an arm and a leg to use and it can fire up to 17,000 blasts on one 20lb propane tank. This eliminates the need for costly chemicals, traps, or poisons.

BOOM!
Boy oh boy!This propane cannon does not fool around! 120 dB is what the description says. I'm sure it was measured some how. All I know is that it's LOUD.The "timer" isn't an exact science. 2 - 30 minutes is more like 45 seconds - 15 minutes...sometimes a little longer.I got it to keep birds & deer out if my vineyard. As they say, "results may vary". What I've noticed is that I still see birds as well as deer - but I think they are made uneasy by loud booms. The instructions suggest adding some visual deterrent as well. The Ballon owls or maybe reflective tape comes to mind. I did not do that this year, but may next year. I've not seen much impact on raccoons & opossums.I warned my neighbors ahead of time. I recommend it, especially if you will be using it 24/7. It's the kind thing to do.It's a great addition to your animal control tools.
