1. Birds have a unique biological navigation system
To understand how Symterra’s technology works, knowing a little bit about bird biology will help. Birds have a unique biological navigation system that provides them with an “internal GPS” that detects the magnetic field generated by the Earth’s core. To do this, they rely on a few key receptors:
Special proteins in their eyes help birds to see navigationally.
Mineral crystals in birds’ beaks record magnetic intensity.
2. Symterra influences birds with an electromagnetic signal
Symterra’s technology harmlessly interacts with any bird’s navigational system. When flying over your property, an electromagnetic “force field” tells the bird that your area or structure is off limits — and that they simply can’t land there. Unharmed and unaware of any disruption, the birds continue their search for a good place to roost, nest, or forage.
A key aspect of this approach is permanence. While birds can adapt to most physical deterrent measures like netting or spikes, they can’t change their biology. Once your property is protected by Symterra, the receptors in their eyes and beaks will always sense the electromagnetic signal.
3. The system includes just a few simple components
The Symterra bird deterrent system is made up of components that can be adapted to just about any structure. They include:
