From May 1, 2011, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) requires a Federal Explosives Permit for the use of Explosive Pest Control Devices (EPCDs). The Application Form is basically the same for a License and a Permit.

Below are links we think will help you, and a document to alert you to information you will need for the process.

Our Bird Banger and Screamer Siren cartridges do not require an ATF Permit.
For our Bird Banger EXP and CAPA, you will need a Permit.

In summary, ATF requires that you have a Permit for Bird Banger EXP and CAPA; all the paperwork is listed below under Documents and Forms. You will need a Type 2 storage magazine; you must maintain records of removal from the magazine. You also need to know your local zoning and State requirements, for an interview with ATF. You must notify your local fire authority immediately upon your possession of the pyrotechnics.
