The WCS® 500 mW Laser Bird Repellent is a powerful, handheld bird deterrent designed to quickly and effectively disperse nuisance birds from targeted areas. This portable, highly effective tool uses a high intensity green laser that birds perceive as a physical threat, triggering an immediate flight response without causing harm. This fear-based response helps prevent long-term habituation.
It is effective against a wide range of species, including geese, vultures, crows, cranes, pigeons, doves, gulls, wild turkeys, and more. The WCS® 500 mW Laser is ideal for use at airports, golf courses, parks, solar installations, agricultural operations, stadiums, and other locations where bird pressure and safety are a concern. Operation is as simple as activating the laser and sweeping the beam across the area to be cleared.
In ideal weather and lighting conditions, the laser can project distances up to one mile, with typical daytime effectiveness ranging from approximately 110 to 1,090 yards, depending on ambient light. As with all laser deterrents, this unit performs best in lower-light conditions; however, its 500 mW output provides sufficient power for effective use in full daylight. Multiple operating modes, including momentary and fixed, offer flexibility for a variety of applications.
Built for professional use, the WCS® 500 mW Laser features a rugged, aircraft-grade aluminum housing with a hard-anodized, scratch-resistant finish. For improved accuracy and safer operation over long distances, the unit is equipped with a high-quality red-dot sight, allowing users to precisely aim at targeted birds before activating the laser.
The beam width can be adjusted by rotating the front section of the laser, allowing the beam to be widened or narrowed depending on distance and use requirements. At closer ranges, a wider beam can be useful for covering a larger area. For example, when moving a bird toward a mist net or directing a bird toward a warehouse door. To prevent unauthorized use, the laser also includes a key-lock safety system.
Note: This is a Class IIIb laser product. Do not stare into the laser beam or aim it at the eyes of people or animals. Never direct the beam toward individuals operating vehicles, boats, or aircraft.
Pro Tips:
• Short bursts are sometimes more effective than a continuous beam.
• Aim the laser out in front of the targeted birds and approach them at a walking pace.
• Aim for the birds’ feet and legs—not the head.
• Use zig-zag motions.
• Repeatedly treat roost sites at dawn and dusk.
• If adjusting the beam width to a larger size, be aware that as the beam gets wider, the laser’s strength diminishes.
• Never point lasers at a person’s head, aircraft, or vehicles.
• Always follow all laws and regulations, including OSHA requirements.
