Bird-X Expands Liquid Bird Deterrent Portfolio

In a significant move for professional bird control solutions, Bird-X has announced the launch of two innovative products: the Avian Control® Repellent and the InvisiDye® UV Marker. These additions aim to provide pest management professionals with enhanced flexibility and effectiveness when addressing various bird-related challenges in commercial, industrial, landscaping, and agricultural settings.

The Avian Control® Repellent

The Avian Control® Repellent is an EPA-registered liquid concentrate specifically formulated to repel pest birds from treated areas. This product stands out due to its adaptability; operators can apply it by fogging, hazing, or spraying, making it suitable for a range of environmental conditions.

The repellent features Methyl Anthranilate (MA) as its active ingredient, which triggers a sensory response in birds, prompting them to vacate the area. It is essential to apply the product according to the label directions to achieve optimal results. Once birds come into contact with treated surfaces or airborne droplets, the sensory effect encourages them to leave the designated area. Importantly, this response is temporary, subsiding as birds move away from the application zone.

The InvisiDye® UV Marker

Complementing the repellent, the InvisiDye® UV Marker is a unique ultraviolet fluorescent dye intended for use alongside Methyl Anthranilate-based repellents, including Avian Control®. This combination not only provides a sensory deterrent but also a visual cue that reinforces the birds' aversion to the treated area. By associating the visual marker with discomfort, birds are conditioned to avoid landing in these zones over time.

Application and Target Species

The Avian Control® Repellent is versatile, making it applicable to various environments, including residential, commercial, landscaping, and agricultural areas. It effectively targets several common pest bird species such as European starlings, gulls, blackbirds, pigeons, house sparrows, cliff swallows, American crows, geese, and mute swans. On the other hand, InvisiDye® is designed to work in conjunction with repellents, enhancing their effectiveness.

Insights from Industry Experts

Fonda Moyers, Head of Product at Bird-X, emphasized the importance of providing pest management professionals with effective tools to combat bird-related issues in diverse environments. She stated, "Pest management professionals need tools that perform across a wide range of environments and pressure levels. Avian Control® provides operators the flexibility to fog, haze, or spray as conditions dictate, while InvisiDye® adds a layer of conditioning that builds avoidance behavior over time." This level of adaptability is crucial in meeting the varying needs of operators and their specific bird control challenges.

Expanding the Bird Deterrent Portfolio

With the introduction of Avian Control® Repellent and InvisiDye® UV Marker, Bird-X continues to enhance its existing liquid deterrent product line, which already includes Bird Stop®, 4 the Birds, and Bird Proof Gel. These products are designed to cater to different application strategies, allowing professionals to tailor their approaches based on the specific conditions they face.
