Bird Shield™
has been found to be effective in discouraging birds from using fountains,
ornamental ponds, rain gutters, cat tail marshes, and other similar
areas. In tests on penned geese, the geese were furnished with two
artificial ponds for drinking and bathing. Prior to treatment, each
pond received about the same usage. Immediately after |

™ was added to one pond, the use of that pond went almost
to zero and stayed that way for the duration of the test.(Chart

The labeled rate
of use in standing water is one gallon of Bird Shield™ in 500
gallons of water, however subsequent experience has indicated that
Bird Shield™ may be effective at much reduced rates, perhaps
in the range of one in ten or twenty thousand. It is suggested that
the user try a small amount and increase it from time to time until
he observes the birds leaving. It is legal to use Bird Shield™
at less than the labeled rate, but not more. There
are some cautions about using Bird Shield™ in water. Tests
have shown that Bird Shield™ is toxic to certain types of
fish. Read the MSDS, available on this web site, for more information.
Be sure to use it only in water that is not fish habitat. Second,
use it only in standing water, such as fountains or ornamental ponds.
In flowing water, the product will not stay around long enough to
do any good, and may flow into fish bearing streams. Around ponds,
Bird Shield™ can be used right down to the high water mark,
as tests have shown that it does not relocate and migrate into the
water
