Agricultural bird pest is generally regarded as the main problem farmers face due to their existence which can cause a decrease in the quality and quantity of agricultural products such as paddy. Most studies on agricultural bird pest control have neglected the design of the prototype without considering the economic aspect. This study aims to develop a low-cost detector and eviction module for agricultural bird pests using artificial sound from the predator of this bird pest. The method used in this research is to conduct experimental design, testing performance, and techno-economic analysis. The results show that the PIR sensor system is accurate enough to find bird pests and that integrated with speakers with artificial sound from its predator makes a big difference in evicting agricultural bird pests. The results showed that the developed module could work in 50 to 150 cm with a satisfactory success rate (maximum about 66. 67±10. 21%). In addition, technology development with components used in this study is less than the US 50 per module. This makes it possible to use this technology for paddy farmers in Indonesia because the cost per module of this technology is meager.
