Flock Free is currently working with military contractors at the McGuire Air Force Base in Trenton, NJ. The project requires removal of 140,000 square feet of old bird netting, removal of nests and debris, and installation of new netting adapted to incorporate 7-foot zippers to align with all lighting as well as 95 radiant heat units. The zippers will allow access to lighting and heat units, while the netting will be sewn around all cables, pipes and electrical hardware to ensure that they are protected from birds and other animals.
This very large project requires the use of pneumatic ring tools and two booms, ensuring that the crew can get in and out quickly if military aircraft require access to the area for maintenance. In addition, McGuire is actively supporting troops in the Persian Gulf and aircraft periodically require access to the space to load supplies. The area is “No FOD” (No Foreign Object Debris) requiring that the area is carefully checked for nails, screws or other items that could potentially puncture a tire.
We are excited and proud to be supporting our military with this complex project!
I’m Paul Rosario, co-founder of Flock Free and the man “behind the machines”. My speciality is making sure the equipment is well-designed, well-manufactured and well-maintained, and I’ll be posting about how to install and maintain Flock Free Hazers and other bird control solutions. Let me know if you have any questions!
We have worked with virtually every commercial bird control product on the market, at one time or another. Many of them can be effective in the right circumstances, but must be used properly in order to achieve the desired effect. In order to help you understand the pros of cons of each, we’ve put together a few “Tips from Tom” to help you out. – Please drop us a line if there’s something specific you want to learn about.
