PestFix has expanded its professional bird control range with MAGNETO®, a bird deterrent system that uses controlled, low-intensity magnetic pulses to discourage birds from landing in protected areas.

PestFix showcased MAGNETO® at PestTech 2026 on 4 November at Arena MK, Milton Keynes. Visitors to Stand A7 had the opportunity to view the system and learn more about its applications in bird management.

Angelos Spiliotis, Commercial Director at Avianova, the company behind MAGNETO®, joined the PestFix team to share his expertise and answer technical questions.

MAGNETO® provides an alternative to traditional physical bird proofing methods.

Birds use the Earth’s magnetic field as part of their natural navigation. MAGNETO® emits low-frequency magnetic pulses that temporarily disrupt this ability within protected areas, deterring birds from landing without causing them harm.

The system operates silently, offering a discreet option for locations where noise or highly visible deterrents may not be desirable.

Designed for long-term bird deterrence, MAGNETO® uses just 10W of power and can provide coverage of up to 500 linear metres per device. The system is IP67 rated, operates in temperatures from -20°C to +60°C and can be scaled by adding additional units where required.

Its rugged, modular construction is designed for demanding environments, with minimal maintenance required.

The addition of MAGNETO® broadens the range of bird management options available through PestFix, alongside established solutions including bird netting, spikes, post and wire, solar panel proofing and audio deterrents.

Chris Frappell, Commercial Director at PestFix, said:

“Every bird control site presents different challenges, so having a range of different approaches available is important. MAGNETO® gives pest professionals another option to consider when developing a bird management programme.

PestTech has been a great opportunity for customers to see the system rather than simply reading about how it works. Having Angelos with us on the stand also meant visitors could get a deeper understanding of the technology and ask more detailed technical questions.”

Angelos Spiliotis, Commercial Director at Avianova, said:

“MAGNETO® provides pest professionals with a discreet, non-harmful way to deter birds using controlled magnetic pulses. We’re pleased to be working with PestFix to make the system readily available across the UK.”

MAGNETO® will be available through PestFix, with the PestFix team providing customers with product advice and support.
