Propane Cannon Scares Away Birds, Pest Animals
When Barthell Joseph went looking for a way to solve bird problems in both farming and aviation, he ended up going across the Atlantic Ocean to find a solution.
The Scare-Away Single Bang gas-powered cannon is manufactured in Belgium. Its harmless 130-decibel thunderclap works better than anything else he found.
Joseph says that while agriculture is his biggest customer, the cannons also work well at landfills, fishponds, and golf courses.
“The Scare-Away is the loudest LP gas cannon available, and decibels matter,” says Joseph. “A variation of as few as five decibels can easily add five more acres of coverage.”
The cannon is powered by a regular propane tank and is purely mechanical. Propane inflates a diaphragm to be released into a chamber at a timed setting. A flint ignition sparking mechanism lights the gas and creates a loud explosion.
Joseph says the frequency of the blasts can be adjusted from approximately 30 seconds to 15-minute intervals. A single propane tank holds approximately 5,000 shots.
The Scare-Away Gas Cannon Single Bang M3 is available from the Reed-Joseph website or at a handful of dealers throughout the U.S. and sells for $310 plus S&H.
