"Pest Light" Company Responds
 ✖  |
"FARM SHOW ran a report from an Iowa farmer in the last issue complaining about our product, the B-Alert strobe light for chasing away pest animals. The man said he used the product in his sweet corn patch but it didn't work," says David Scheiding, president, B-Alert, Inc., Arcanum, Ohio.
"After first calling FARM SHOW to get the man's number, I called him. When he told me how he had been using it, the problem became clear. I discussed with him how the light should be used in a sweet corn patch:
"Center the lights in each half acre, using a new alkaline battery every 16 hours. When the corn forms on the stock, place a strobe on a scarecrow above the corn and turn it on at night each week for two to three weeks. Two weeks before the corn in ready to harvest, place another strobe light 12 to 24 in. up from the bottom of the stalk and turn both lights on one to two nights each week prior to harvest.
"As stated in the man's complaint, we do charge a 25% restocking fee. As a small manufacturing company, we feel we have to do this. We're not a K-mart or Wal-Mart.
"We have testimonials from both customers and stores which we would be happy to share with anybody interested. We are willing to work closely with anyone who buys our product to make sure it works as promised."
