Welcome to Bird Shield
Welcome to the bird shield blog. Comment here with questions about bird shield repellant and check back for more information.
It's a common question with a common answer. Most of the birds you see have been feeding off of insects and have nests in the orchard. You can't drive the birds off of their nests and they will continue to feed on the insects even though there is good looking fruit hanging on the tree. It may look good but it does not taste good to them.
Yes, but. . . you won't have any customers. The repellent can not be washed off the tables where it will stay for a long time. Depending on the what the umbrellas are made from, the repellent may severely stain or damage the material. The odor, which can be quite pleasant, can become overpowering on hot, confining day. So you have to throw the tables and umbrellas away and start over. Of course the birds never are far away. Don't waste your time with electronic or mechanical devices (scarecrows). The birds get use to them within a couple of days. You need to enlist the assistance of your local USDA, PHIS, Wildlife Services agent. It is this kind of problem that they are paid to help with.
Hi I have customer that has used your birdshield in the past and said there was a smell to it. I sold him more this last month and he says it wasn’t as strong as smell as in the past years. Did your company change to a less of a smell product? Please let know. ________________________________ Greetings Jack.
Bird Shield definitely has an odor. That is one of the reasons it works so well because the birds associate the odor with the taste and as long as there is some odor on the crop, even if we can't smell it, they can because they have a much better sense of smell. Your customer's comments are not uncommon. We get a lot of repeat users who tell it that it had a stronger smell the first year while, at the same time their neighbor so has used it for several years, tells us that it does not smell as strong even though it is the same batch.
We have not changed the formulation. It still has the full 26.4% methyl anthranilate active ingredient base (the competitor only has 14%). That, by law, can't change.
Hope this helps. Let us know if we can help in any other way.
