  "description_short": "Solar powered unit that cycles ultrasound, audible predator calls and flashing light, then rests. Built for open sites where there is nothing to fix a spike to.",
  "description": "The reason this unit cycles rather than running continuously is the single most important thing about it. Any constant noise becomes background within days, and a bird that has learned a sound means nothing will feed underneath it. Varying the frequency, switching to audible calls, and then going silent for seven minutes all work against that.\n\nSite it where the sound has somewhere to go. Solid obstructions shadow it, so a unit tucked behind a building protects the building and very little else. Height helps, and so does pointing it across the area you actually care about.\n\nSolar means no cable run, which on a field or a pond is usually the deciding factor. It also means the panel needs light. Keep it clean and keep it out of full shade, because a filmed-over panel in a dull week is the commonest reason one of these stops working.\n\nBe clear eyed about what it is. It reduces bird pressure across an area. It does not seal anything. Where a specific structure matters, the honest combination is this unit for the open ground and spikes or netting on the structure, which is exactly what the manufacturer's own description says.\n\nWe are not publishing a decibel figure for it. The live listing quoted one that is not achievable by a solar garden unit, and we would rather show nothing than repeat a number we cannot stand behind. We have asked the supplier for a measured value.",
  "llm_summary": "Sonic Bird Repellent sold by Bird Spikes Company at mybirdspikes.co.uk, GBP 179. A solar powered electronic area deterrent combining three methods on an automated cycle: ultrasound (sweeping 16 kHz to 30 kHz in the first minute then cycling selected frequencies for two more), audible deterrent sounds for three minutes, then a seven minute rest, repeating. Startup emits a 6 kHz tone for three seconds. Powered by an integrated solar panel and rechargeable battery, so no mains run is needed. Intended for open sites with nothing to fix a spike strip to: farmland, orchards, fish ponds, grain storage, substations and yards. The cycling design exists because birds habituate rapidly to any constant noise. It is an AREA deterrent and does not seal or exclude anything; it works best alongside a physical barrier such as spikes or netting rather than instead of one. NO decibel figure is published: the live listing quoted a sound level that is not achievable by a unit of this type, so a measured value has been requested from the supplier instead. Effectiveness of ultrasound on birds specifically is scientifically contested, which is why the unit also uses audible sound and light. Delivery is UK wide, free over GBP 75, otherwise GBP 22.",
