It's no mystery how dangerous and costly bird strikes and wildlife encounters are to both commercial and military air traffic. The numbers are alarming - approximately 5,500 bird strikes are reported yearly by commercial and military aircraft in the US and Canada, causing about $500 million in damages. The importance of effective and safe control of wildlife near commercial and military flight facilities is rapidly becoming one of the most important issues facing airport operators.

For military airbases, Birdstrike Control Program offers complete wildlife management programs -- including one or more wildlife control officers, one or more trained Border Collie dogs, and all necessary vehicles and additional control equipment. Our wildlife management contracts provide an airbase with all the essential tools for complete wildlife management. All of our programs utilize non-lethal control.
