Portek Bangers

In my quest to get a better price on bird bangers (we are getting through a lot recently trying to keep the flying rats off !) I have ended up getting a trade account with Portek through my Store Monitor company. I can offer TFF members them at a price which Im pretty sure wont be beaten else where

Will be able to buy them soon on my store monitor website but for now any requirements just PM me on here please.


CONTINUATION BANGER ROPES

Use with day ropes – protection extends into the night – 10 to 12 hour coverage. The perfect complement to our day ropes, continuation bird scaring banger ropes provide continuous protection to keep birds away all day long. Light both ropes at the same time; the continuation rope will carry on when the day rope has burnt out as it has a longer initial burn time.

SKYBIRD BIRD SCARING ROCKETS - 10 PACK

skybird-3d-ART_480x480.jpg


SkyBird agricultural bird scaring rockets are the ultimate deterrent to clear away birds in response to a very loud bang overhead!
SkyBird bird scaring rockets are designed to clear away birds in response to a very loud bang overhead. Launched at an angle of approx. 45°, by an out-of-view operator, the unexpected loud mid-air explosion ensures non return for many hours – especially if reinforced by a second rocket set off very soon after the first.

Birds become accustomed to all conventional bird scaring equipment if regular changes are not made in location and timing. Skybird Rockets are best used, not as a substitute for other methods, but to enhance their effectiveness by introducing a new element of shock and surprise.

£11.87 Pack of 10

Nick...

They seem to come and go thIs winter, we have weeks when you see nothing followed by a week of plague like proportions

Good news is the bangers are working and do move them on well, in previous years they seem completely ambivalent to the bangs

only got a few cases left now and don't think I will be getting another order this season so if anyone needs bangers let me know asap
 
@Clive have you looked into delivery?

I did a building job for a firework factory and looked into buying and selling fireworks as a side income but the delivery was nearly impossible with only DX / Nightfreight and TNT being willing to take them as their explosives and even then at a premium

There are a few delivery co's that will do it no problem, costs bit more than regular shipping but its quite doable and have had no problems so far
