'Pyrotechnics' To Be Used To Scare Off Geese At Bradley

Information via Windsor Police Department

WINDSOR, CT — If you live within 5 miles of Bradley Airport you may ask, "What is that sound?"
On Monday night, the USDA Animal and Plant Health, Wildlife Services began using pyrotechnics, a nonlethal method to move Canadian Geese away from the airport.

Active dispersal of wildlife remains critical to managing wildlife at airports.

FAA guidance encourages passenger airports to work with neighboring properties within five miles to minimize wildlife attractants that can be hazardous to aviation.

It is important to remember that all the activities are specifically intended to reduce the presence of aviation hazards and to help increase safety in the airport environment.This protects not only the flying public but prevents wildlife from being struck by aircraft.
