Reduction of bird pest in electrical power substations using sonic devices

Birds such as crows, starling flock, feral pigeon and house sparrows are the major problem that cause damage particularly in switchracks, transformers, capacitors and transmission towers that apply to electrical stations and substations. It makes an ideal place for birds to protect themselves and e...
