The trouble with birds is twofold: first, birds are everywhere, and second, these omnipresent creatures make terrible messes and destroy everything. If you’ve got bird problems, you’ve experienced these troubles firsthand. In areas where birds congregate, they leave behind nasty nesting materials and disgusting droppings that look and smell awful, harbor deadly diseases, corrode wires, ruin paint, clog gutters, destroy solar panels, and wreak all kinds of havoc. And, as if all those problems weren’t enough, the birds themselves have an extraordinary capacity to destroy; eating crops and breaking electrical wires are just a few examples of what birds will do if left uncontrolled. If you have birds congregating and nesting in and around your property, one thing’s for certain: you need something that repels birds effectively.

What You Need to Know about Getting Rid of Birds

Eliminating a bird problem requires a strategic combination of preventive measures and proven bird control products. Birds are clever creatures and you’ll find that many birds can outsmart you at every turn, learning to evade and avoid even the best bird deterrents and repellents. Since they’re so smart and since different species of birds can require different strategies, a tag-team approach of bird control solutions is the best way to ensure success. Ultimately, the goal of bird control is to create an atmosphere for the birds that is as unattractive, unpleasant, and undesirable as possible so they will leave and choose another area to nest, feed, and gather.

To create an inhospitable environment for birds, the following strategies are often tried:

  • Eliminating food. If there’s nothing to eat, the birds won’t hang around. Close trash bins, clear away standing water, protect pet feeders, clean gutters, and, most of all, never, ever feed them.
  • Eliminating water. Again, thirsty birds will go someplace else to find water.
  • Clearing away their homes. Trimming trees and regularly removing any nests you find will discourage birds from setting up camp.
  • Adding obstructions. Bird spikes and sticky gels will prevent birds from loafing in unwelcome locations.
  • Blocking paths. Install netting around rafters, garden boxes, and solar panels, caulk all openings and use whatever tools you need to keep birds out of places where you don’t want them.
  • Repelling them. It’s often not possible to physically prevent birds from entering an area or to eliminate everything that attracts them; in these cases, repellents are the answer.

The Value of Repellents

Bird repellents are an important component of creating an inhospitable environment for pest birds. Repellents are especially valuable in home gardens, commercial agricultural locations, and other large-scale areas where many of the above preventive measures are simply not practical or even possible. In these scenarios, sounds, lights, motion-sensors, and liquid bird repellents are quite often the solutions of choice. These repellents deter birds from entering your space and help maintain a bird-free zone.

Avian Block™: An Exciting Addition to Comprehensive Bird Control

Bird B Gone, Inc., a global leader in bird control products and solutions, has developed Avian Block™, an exciting addition to their line of proven bird repellents.

What is Avian Block™?

Avian Block™ is a humane, non-lethal bird repellent that keeps nuisance birds away from commercial, agricultural, and residential properties by using a bird aversion ingredient called Methyl Anthranilate (MA). It is available in two versatile formulations—pouch or block—that can be hung in a variety of settings to repel birds such as pigeons, geese, woodpeckers, and grackles.

How Does Avian Block™ Work?

Avian Block™ works by using passive scent technology to disperse Methyl Anthranilate (MA) into the air, which irritates the trigeminal nerve in birds and creates an effect similar to pepper spray on their eyes, beak, and throat. MA is a non-toxic, EPA-approved, food-grade ingredient derived from concord grapes that is widely used in industries to provide grape scent and flavor, making it safe for use around humans and pets. Once hung from structures, it encourages birds to leave the area and will continue to repel them for up to 3 months depending on weather conditions, requiring no special tools for installation.

Why Do You Need Avian Block™?

Avian Block™ is an ideal, non-lethal, and non-toxic solution that fits into any bird control strategy for a wide variety of locations. Its effectiveness, safety, and ease of maintenance provide several key benefits for users:

  • Wide Application: Suitable for commercial/residential structures, gardens, industrial equipment, HVAC units, and agricultural settings.
  • Ease of Use: Simply hang the pouch or block and walk away, requiring no special tools or maintenance.
  • Extended Protection: Each pouch or block repels birds for up to 3 months, with replacement needed only when the volume decreases by about a quarter to a third.
  • Safety: MA is a food-based product that is "Generally Regarded As Safe" (GRAS) by the FDA and is rated as earth-friendly.
