Scarey Man - Combined Visual and Audible Deterrent
Bird Control Products

Background Pest-Away Australia introduced Scarey Man to Australia in Spring 2000 and has had outstanding success ever since with sales to a diverse range of industries from viticulture, aquaculture and horticulture to domestic and even industrial applications, several having been purchased for tailings dams for gold mines. Manufactured in England, Scarey Man was invented in the 1980's and has undergone improvements and upgrades ever since, with three models currently available. One of the main aims in bringing Scarey Man to Australia is to offer a viable alternative to gas guns which, even though still widely in use, are generally losing their effectiveness as well as becoming increasingly in breach of local council noise pollution laws. Scarey Man is similar in price to many gas guns but offers the advantage of surprise by visual as well as audible means.	Click for Larger Image Read testimonials of Scarey Man's effectiveness
Description The Scarey Man automatic scarecrow is a man-sized inflatable scarecrow whose secret to success lies in the element of surprise caused when he suddenly inflates and then rapidly deflates, seven times over a 25 second period. A siren can be activated at each inflation and, in some models, he will glow bright red - very effective in the dark. Scarey Man is powered by a 12 volt battery and is very portable. A car battery, placed inside the housing, is ample power and will only need to be recharged every couple of weeks in most situations. If necessary, a larger truck or tractor battery can be placed on the ground beside Scarey Man - the terminal leads are long enough to reach through the housing. He is totally weatherproof, as one would expect for something developed in England. The best way of using Scarey Man is to move him every few days. In high crops, placing him on top of a drum or stack of pallets will increase his area of influence. It is also possible to increase Scarey Man's effective range also by placing bundles of similar-appearing fabric around the crop. As long as you regularly swap the real Scarey Man with the look-alikes, birds are unable to differentiate between them and are wary of the whole lot. Scarey Man's body is made of tough, UV proofed woven polyethylene fabric, which is almost indestructible. In the highly unlikely event of tearing occurring, Scarey Man can easily be patched with a strip of gaffer tape (5cm plastic tape) on the inside of the body. Full operating instructions and a 12 month written warranty are provided. Models Three models of Scarey Man are available:

Scarey Man Day-Unit $1240.00 (AUD - GST Inc.) Qty: *Day Unit*: works during daylight hours only, through the use of a daylight sensor. It activates approximately every 18 minutes, leaping into action seven times over a 25 second period.

Scarey Man Multi-Use Unit $1390.00 (AUD - GST Inc.) Qty: *Multi-use Unit:* operates the same as the Day Unit, but has the option to work either during the day, during the night or for 24 hours a day. It illuminates at night.

Scarey Man Pre-set Timer Unit $1550.00 (AUD - GST Inc.) Qty: *Pre-set Timer Unit:* provides the ultimate in the element of surprise, the most important aspect of bird scaring. Through the use of a programmable digital timer, the operator can set periods of operation as required. Up to 8 separate periods of time per day can be selected and these can be varied for each day of the week. In other words, 56 different periods of activation can be set at once. These will remain the active settings, altering on a selected daily basis until the clock is reset. An example of the chosen settings may be: Monday 5:15am to 6:30am, 7:15am to 8:00am, 12 noon to 12:45pm, 5:45pm to 6:50pm. Tuesday 5:00am to 6:00am, 11:30am to 1:00pm etc. During the active times, Scarey Man will leap into action approximately every 18 minutes. This unit also illuminates at night.
