Frequently asked questions about our products
The laser class depends on the amount of energy transported within the laser beam (laser power) and the wavelength (color) of the laser beam. The unique combination of laser source and optics generate a laser beam that is classified as laser class 3B. The output power varies per product and lies between 5 and 499 mW (milliWatts).
Laser classification is based on the laser’s potential for causing injuries. Class 3B lasers can be hazardous for the human eye when exposed directly and for an extended period.
Our products can be deployed safely when used according to the User Manual. The bird deterrent products have an expanded beam which ensure that only a small percentage of the laser’s potential can enter the eye. Of course, our products are only for professional use.
Light conditions
A higher laser output power is recommended for use during bright light conditions.
Distance and beam angle
A higher laser output power balances out the loss of contrast due to spreading of the laser beam over a larger surface area.
Local environmental conditions (albedo)
A higher laser output power is recommended for use in an environment with light absorbing surfaces.

To ensure Agrilaser and AVIX products meet the local criteria customers can choose from 3 models with a different laser output power. Choosing the right model is essential in order to generate a laser projection with sufficient contrast for effective bird dispersal. Frequency of exposure is also important.
Most birds respond immediately to the laser beam. It has been proven that Agrilaser products effectively reduce nuisance caused by many birds including:
- Gulls
- Crows
- Pigeons
- Ducks
- Geese
- Starlings
- Swifts
- Herons

In many situations existing methods are not suitable, feasible or effective on the long term. Agrilaser products offer a unique solution for bird control:
- Low costs per surface unit;
- Easy to deploy;
- Permanent / autonomous solution (Autonomic);
- Humane technique / positive perception;
- Low environmental impact: no noise, no pollution, low visual presence;
- No habituation: birds do not get used to the laser beam;
- Steering of birds with the laser beam.
Birds perceive the system’s approaching laser beam as a physical danger and disperse to seek safety. In contrast to conventional deterrence methods, birds will not become accustomed to the laser bird deterrent products. They will consider the area as unsafe and will not return.
The bird deterrent products don’t detect the birds. They work preventively not reactively.
