AVIX Handheld — Portable Laser Bird Repellent
The AVIX Handheld (formerly the Agrilaser Handheld) is a portable green-laser bird deterrent from the AVIX range by Bird Control Group, designed to be aimed directly at problem birds. They perceive the beam as an approaching physical threat and flee immediately — a safe, silent and chemical-free way to clear birds on demand, effective at a range of up to 2,500 metres. It puts professional, immediate bird control in the hands of a single operator, with no installation and nothing to habituate to.
The Ultimate Laser Bird Deterrents | Bird Control Group
Accurate deterrence at long range
A built-in red-dot sight lets you aim precisely at distant birds before activating the laser, so you can clear targets accurately at ranges up to 2,500 metres — ideal for airports, golf courses, farms and waterfronts.
Choose the right model
The AVIX Handheld comes in two output powers — AVIX Handheld and Handheld 500. A higher output is recommended for bright light, longer distances and light-absorbing surroundings to keep the laser projection sharp enough for effective bird dispersal.
Safe, silent & humane
A key-lock system prevents unauthorised use, and the laser deters birds without noise, chemicals or harm. Because the projection is unpredictable, birds do not get used to it — making it a neighbour-friendly bird repellent.
Where the AVIX Handheld is used
Because it is portable and aimed by hand, the AVIX Handheld goes wherever birds appear. It is trusted at airports and air bases for fast runway and apron clearance, at harbours, ports and offshore oil & gas platforms to move gulls on, and across golf courses, parks, stadiums and waterfronts.
It is also the ideal first response on farms, vineyards and aquaculture sites, and a perfect companion to the automated AVIX Autonomic — handling spot problems, new flocks and hard-to-reach areas on demand, with immediate results and no habituation.
Service & Warranty
The AVIX Handheld is supplied with a protective carry case and accessories, and is backed by AVIX support and AVIX Academy laser-safety training so every operator can deploy it safely and effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AVIX Handheld work?
You point the portable laser toward problem birds and project the green beam near them. The birds perceive it as an approaching physical danger and fly off immediately — an instant, on-demand bird deterrent.
What is the difference between the two models?
The AVIX Handheld and Handheld 500 differ in laser output power. A higher output keeps the projection visible in bright light, over longer distances and against light-absorbing backgrounds, so you can pick the model that matches your environment.
Is the handheld laser safe to use?
Yes. It is fitted with a key-lock system to prevent unauthorised use and deters birds humanely without harming them. Operators should follow the supplied laser-safety guidance and AVIX Academy training.
Where is the AVIX Handheld used?
It is used worldwide at airports, harbours, golf courses, farms, parks and industrial sites — anywhere you need to move birds on quickly and safely.
