Thank you, Tom & group, for the helpful feedback! I will be forwarding this information about fans to our warehouse facility manager now. Very much appreciated!

These fans are a unit which is mounted horizontally just above the exterior door frame. They are wired to a switch that turns them on as soon as the door begins to open. They remain on while the door is open and shut down when it closes. The blast of air these fans put out will deter not only birds, but also raccoons, cats, and dogs.

We've recently been having issues with birds, mostly little sparrow types, sneaking into one of our off-site storage locations. Netting has been installed in the ceiling in several areas to aid in catching them once they get in, but I'm interested in ways to prevent them from entering (likely through the loading docks) to begin with. I was wondering if anyone has experience with the different visual and audio/ sonic sound options that are out there, or if they've tried anything else with success. Would also welcome any tips or tricks to coax them out when/ if they get in! Thank you! Morgan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MuseumPests" group.
