Using Eagle Eye in combination with Bird Shock Flex-Track - One of the exciting developments during 2009 was the installation of Eagle Eye in combination with Bird Shock Flex-Track to deter pest birds. This use of this combination increases the proportion of deterrence above the recommended 80% with Eagle Eye alone. This process has been very successful for numerous projects including roof areas of large appartment complexes with pigeons, cockatoos damaging domestic homes with pool solar heating and industrial complexes with a variety of pest bird species to name but a few.

Servicing Eagle Eye units - Eagle Eye is a reflecting “optical” bird scarer and in order to maintain the strong, menacing flashes that scare birds, the system must be cleaned regularly. In most cases, this can take place every 6 months or so. However, in aggressive environments such as salt water, aquatic, dusty, rural or grain situations, cleaning may need to occur more frequently. Particularly in salt environments; the metal coatings of the Eagle Eye will actually corrode if not maintained.
Here are our tips for servicing Eagle Eye’s:
- Firstly, clean the system regularly to protect and maintain a clean, shiny and dust-free reflective surface
- Each service, inspect the Eagle Eye head to see if you need to increase the frequency of cleaning
- Only use Aqua-Shield to clean and polish Eagle Eye units. This will clean and protect the surface and repel dust and finger marks, without damaging the surface
- Definitely, do not use solvent or alcohol based cleaners as this will remove the metal coating off the base. This therefore removes the reflecting surface and stops the system working adequately. If this occurs, replacement heads are available
- When cleaning, use a spirit level to check that your unit is level (vertically plumb) to ensure the motor spins correctly. Units that are not plumb will damage your motor and void warranties
- Include cleaning and maintenance in your installation service contract
- Where possible, mount the units where you can access them regularly. Recently we have used long poles in installations to avoid the need of access equipment
Aqua Shield is recommended for use in regular cleaning of the reflective surface of the Eagle Eye bird deterrent system. AQUA SHIELD - is a unique formulation that provides a microscopic protective and sanitised coating to all clean surfaces. It repels dust, dries without streaking, does not leave a film, non-yellowing with age, protects and seals surfaces and fills microscopic surface pores. It resists dust, grime, smudging, water and finger marks. For cleaning Eagle Eye - use quarterly or half yearly depending on the local dust and pollution that will reduce the reflective output of Eagle Eye. Use Aqua Shield monthly in salt environments such as marinas, wharfs and water front areas to clean and protect the surface against corrosion.
