“We have over 6 acres of French hybrid grapes-50% red. Over 5,000 starlings can come for breakfast,lunch and dinner. Despite stringlines, pie plates, owl figures etc., we on occasion have lost up to 100% of the crop. We decided to try Avian Control on an experimental basis. Early August a fine mixture was sprayed on the leaves. The starlings came, sat in the windbreak trees, chattered but did not go down on the grapes. Eventually they would just fly over. We had concerns of the spray being washed off. Several heavy downpours did not affect its deterrence. After a good harvest, only some partially ripened grapes remained and it wasn’t until the leaves fell this week did any starlings enter the vinyard. Harvest was 95 % as other birds, thrashers, robins etc. did not affect it. Thank you for solving my problem.”
