Farmers, orchard managers, and vineyard owners know that wildlife pressure can quickly
damage high-value crops. From birds flocking to ripening fruit to deer or boars trampling through fields, protecting agricultural yields is an ongoing challenge. Signal cannons offer a time-tested, non-lethal solution, using loud, booming blasts to scare off wildlife and protect crops from costly damage.

Scare Off Birds, Deer, Boars, and Other Pests

Whether you're defending grapes from starlings, apples from deer, or corn from raccoons, the deep, echoing sound of a signal cannon sends a clear warning. The sudden blast startles wildlife and disrupts feeding behavior, encouraging animals to leave the area without harm.

Ideal for Vineyards, Orchards, and Row Crops

Use the Winchester Model 98 Signal Cannon in fruit orchards, vegetable plots, berry farms, or open-field crops to protect your harvest during peak vulnerability. A cannon blast at dawn or dusk, when animals are most active, can effectively reduce crop loss and keep wildlife at bay.

Create an Audible Barrier for Large Acreage

For farms and orchards spanning multiple acres, sound carries farther and more effectively than visual deterrents alone. Strategically firing a cannon across the property line or rotating its location daily helps create an unpredictable, sound-based barrier that prevents animals from becoming accustomed to a single deterrent.

Safe and Environmentally Friendly Pest Control

Unlike chemical repellents or physical traps, signal cannons provide a humane and eco-friendly alternative for wildlife management. The Model 98 fires blank charges with no projectiles, delivering sound without physical harm, making it safe for organic farms, eco-conscious operations, and wildlife-sensitive regions.

Easy to Use and Portable in the Field

Rugged and compact, the Model 98 is designed for use in dynamic farm environments. It can be positioned near crop edges, rotated throughout the week, or used in combination with visual scare tactics for maximum effect. Its manual operation ensures you control the timing and location of each blast.
