ECOBIRD 4.0 5 Litre

Stock Code:
BIR-EB405

Description

EcoBird 4.0 is an oil-based Methyl Anthranilate (MA) bird repellent used in Diffusers and Hazers. MA is the active ingredient in the invisible haze emitted by our Diffuser units.

MA is a United States Food and Drug Administration (“USFDA”) registered grape concentrate commonly used as a flavour additive in food products. The amount of MA emitted by Diffusers and Hazers is a fraction of that contained in common household foods. For example, a grape flavoured drinks contains up to 200 parts-per-million of MA. The haze emitted by Diffusers and Hazers contains only 5 parts-per-million. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exempted MA from the requirement of a tolerance, and it is now a common bird deterrent in agriculture.

Ecobird 4.0 is manufactured by Roth Chemical

How It Works:

MA has a pleasant grape aroma to humans. When inhaled by birds, however, MA nano-particles irritate the bird receptors associated with taste and smell. While not harmful, the MA causes enough of an unpleasant reaction to make birds want to leave the area. It only takes a small amount of MA to provoke a reaction in birds. On average, two ounces of MA solution per day are enough to keep birds away from approximately two acres of property, depending on the frequency and duration of disbursement.

Birds breathe up to 30 times faster when they fly. Therefore, the best time to expose birds to MA is when they are in flight entering and leaving the property. 

When birds fly through and inhale the MA haze, they will experience an immediate disorientating reaction. Since the haze is virtually invisible, birds cannot figure out why they had an adverse reaction to flying over the property. Some birds may continue to scout the property to test if the site is still causing an unpleasant reaction.

EcoBird Repellent 4.0 contains 40% MA and is ready to use without any mixing or dilution. 40% MA is the highest concentration on the market.

It is environment-friendly and safe for people, pets, plants and birds when used properly.
