Scare devices

Employing scare devices aims to deter bee-eaters from apiaries by creating a perceived threat or disturbance. Visual scare devices include scarecrows, reflective tape, and brightly colored flags or streamers that move in the wind. Auditory devices include noisemakers,鳴き声 recordings, or propane cannons that produce loud sounds at intervals. The effectiveness of scare devices can wane over time as birds habituate to them, so rotating different types of devices and varying their placement is recommended. Scare devices are generally less reliable than physical barriers like netting but can offer some level of temporary deterrence, especially when used in combination with other methods.
