Proven Approach to Bird Control
The science behind Avian Control® is clear and effective. Our patented formulation utilizes Methyl Anthranilate (MA), a non-toxic, food-grade ingredient that creates a temporary irritation for a bird's taste and smell receptors. This effect is completely harmless to the birds, but it teaches them to associate the treated area with an unpleasant sensation.
- Proven, Term Effectiveness: The patented, MA-based formula trains birds to avoid treated areas and prevents them from becoming habituated, providing a lasting solution rather than a temporary fix.
- Non-Harmful & Trusted Formulas: The repellents are non-toxic and suitable for use around people, pets, livestock, and on crops. Avian Control® is not a "Restricted Use" product for agriculture.
- Protects Your Bottom Line: By preventing crop loss, property damage, and production downtime, you avoid significant financial losses.
- Simple & Versatile Application: Avian Control® can be used with a wide variety of spraying and fogging equipment. The liquid product remains on the surface of plants and fruit, preserving their natural taste and texture without translocating into the plant's tissues.
Ideal Applications & Industries
Choose Avian Control® when your primary bird problem is on or around crops, equipment, airfields, buildings and industrial sites. Avian Control® can be applied undiluted for ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) or thermal fogging applications and sprayed directly on crops.
- Agriculture: Protect your valuable crops from species like crows, starlings, blackbirds, grackles, and more. Avian Control® can also be sprayed directly on animal feed to prevent birds from contaminating it with droppings and disease.
- Airports: Geese and gulls are a critical safety concern near airfields. By using Avian Control® with Bird Buffer Q4 Fogging machines, you can effectively deter these birds from runways, hangars, and other operational areas, significantly reducing the risk of a bird strike and protecting valuable assets.
- Facilities: Safeguard buildings and industrial sites from corrosive droppings, fire hazards, and damage to A/C units and other equipment. Thermal fogging with Avian Control® is especially effective in high up and hard-to-reach areas, like warehouse or hangar rafters.
- Homeowners: Protect homes from structural damage caused by woodpeckers and other nuisance birds. Avian Control® is also the best solution to protect home gardens.

- Apply Consistently: Regular application is crucial for training birds to avoid the treated area and ensuring the repellent remains effective over time.
- Check Your Water's pH: For optimal performance, Avian Control® must be mixed with water that is neutral or slightly alkaline (pH of 7 or higher). Well water is often acidic and can reduce the repellent's effectiveness, so a pH buffer may be needed.
- Tank Mixing: Avoid tank mixing Avian Control® with other pesticides or fungicides. These products often have a low pH, which can reduce the effectiveness of the bird repellent.
- Cover All Areas: Ensure you thoroughly cover the areas where birds are causing problems to prevent them from simply moving to an untreated spot nearby.
