Placement
Your Mega Blaster PRO will protect an area up to approximately 600 feet in all directions.
Factors to consider when selecting the best location include:
•
Birds typically feed from the perimeter of the area and work their way in. Place Mega Blaster PRO units so
the sound protection covers all the way to the edges of the area. For larger areas Mega Blaster PRO units
should be positioned 400-500 feet inside the area and spaced every 1,200 feet.
•
Mount the 20-Speaker Tower at least 5 feet above terrain, areas, trees and other obstacles.
•
Placing the Mega Blaster PRO on top of a hill or small rise will give you much better coverage than at the
bottom of a valley. The greater the height the further the sounds will travel.
•
Wind can blow the sound waves. If the area you need to protect has consistent wind coming from the same
direction, position your Mega Blaster PRO
more “upwind.”
•
Trees surrounding areas provide birds with a safe perch that allows them to fly in, grab food and fly out. It is
much more difficult to eliminate bird damage if the birds are able to use the surrounding trees as a staging
area for attacks on your areas. Your Mega Blaster PRO unit should be positioned close to any trees
bordering your areas. If birds are roosting in the trees at night the TIME OF OPERATION should be set to
24 HOUR.
•
Lakes, rivers and wetlands are a favorite resting and hiding place for birds. Your Mega Blaster PRO unit
should be placed so the sound thoroughly covers any areas where birds frequent.
•
Neighbors, businesses and others may not appreciate hearing the bird sounds. At the limits of the effective
range the sounds from your Mega Blaster PRO are at a level people may find annoying. Avoid placing the
unit where it becomes a nuisance.
