Intercrop Ltd Bird Control – Sky Raiders Case Study

When it comes to agricultural pest management, Intercrop Ltd bird control became a critical challenge. Intercrop Ltd, a leading grower of baby salad crops, suffered major damage from pest birds including corvids, wood pigeons, herring gulls, lesser black-backed gulls, and black-headed gulls. The issue peaked when the company lost an entire crop to E. coli contamination directly linked to bird activity. Traditional deterrents failed, costing time and money while forcing farm staff to handle pest control instead of focusing on crops.

Why Intercrop Ltd Chose Sky Raiders

A chance meeting at a local event introduced Intercrop’s director to Sky Raiders. After seeing our hawks and falcons in action during a trial, Intercrop decided to partner with us for a long-term bird control strategy.

The Sky Raiders Solution

Sky Raiders provided a dedicated falconer on-site six hours per day, seven days a week, covering dawn, midday, and dusk — the busiest bird activity periods. The falconer also remained on call for emergencies, ensuring full protection.

We deployed six specially trained hawks and falcons for presence and pressure. Alongside this, licensed culling, bangers, rockets, and human patrols reinforced the deterrent. This layered strategy ensured that Intercrop Ltd bird control efforts stayed consistent and effective, protecting valuable crops

The Results of Intercrop Ltd Bird Control

Within two months, bird flocks retreated into smaller, manageable zones. Pest birds became highly sensitive to human and vehicle movement. Crop contamination risks dropped significantly, and organic debris such as guano and feathers reduced. Crucially, Intercrop lost no further crops to bird or rabbit damage. With bird control in place, the business could focus fully on farming and restoring customer confidence.
