October 1, 2001—Terror Eyes, a two-foot-wide, bright orange sphere, is designed by Bird-X, Inc., as a visual bird repellent. Huge, lenticular predator-like eyes on front and back of the sphere produce holographic effects that appear to follow infesting birds as they fly past—and keep on flying past. Terror Eyes was scientifically designed from research and empirical evidence on predator and bird behavior. The eyes and the markings on the sphere resemble those of an owl, a natural predator of birds that instinctively fear the realistic and menacing device. The heavy-duty vinyl hangs from a spring so that it moves and sways. It can be mounted virtually anywhere.
To repel and scare off geese, ducks, cormorants, heron, and small animals, Gator Guard is a life-sized floating replica of an alligator head. The mirror-backed flashing eyes reflect the sun from constantly changing angles, so that birds and pests think this predator is watching their every move. Gator Guard is made of durable, weatherproofed urethane foam with UV protected coating, and an eyehook makes it easy to anchor. Dimensions are 25-inches long, 11-inches wide, and 7-inches tall, with coverage to one acre. Available immediately, price is $69.00. For more information contact Bird-X.
As announced at World Workplace 2001.
