Methyl anthranilate is a highly effective chemical for deterring birds, making it an ideal solution for bird control measures. This chemical, commonly found in grape flavoring used in products like grape Kool-Aid or grape-flavored candies, has a taste and smell that birds find extremely unpleasant, even at low concentrations.
One significant advantage of using methyl anthranilate as a bird repellent is its ability to repel birds effectively. When birds encounter the taste or smell of this chemical, they experience discomfort, which prompts them to avoid plants or crops treated with it. Methyl anthranilate is completely safe for humans. It poses no harmful side effects when humans come into contact with it, including when consuming fruits and crops treated with the chemical. Importantly, despite its use in grape flavoring, methyl anthranilate does not impact the taste of the fruit, crops, or any juices derived from them.
Additionally, methyl anthranilate is environmentally friendly and poses no harm to the Earth.
Spray the liquid form of the chemical on the desired areas, including plants or areas frequented by birds. This can be accomplished using a spray bottle or other suitable devices that allow for precise application of the liquid.
Alternatively, methyl anthranilate can also be applied through a fogging machine. This versatile application method ensures effective bird deterrence, targeting various bird species, including common pests such as pigeons, starlings, and seagulls. As a result, methyl anthranilate finds practical use in diverse settings, such as farms, airports, lakes, outdoor dining areas, and more.
