Fly Away BMS Blocks
If the problem area is constantly exposed to weather elements or proves impractical for hanging a block, consider using a Fly Away BMS weather cap. The weather cap comes with a rust-resistant hanger and provides protection from rain and ultra-violet rays, increasing the useful life of your Fly Away block.
Fly Away BMS Bulk Granules
Fly Away bulk granules can be spread over large areas by hand or with home or commercial fertilizer-type broadcast spreaders. Made with the same active ingredient as Fly Away blocks. Granules are designed to deter birds from the wide-open spaces common to home, commercial, public or agricultural settings. Granule potency lasts from 6 to 12 weeks, making it ideal for maintaining large fields, golf courses, parks and airports.
“With 35+ years of growing/managing over 150 acres of cherries, I’ve battled bird issues for sure. I consider Early Robin/Rainier, Chelan, and Santina to be like bird magnetsas these varieties are the first fruit to begin ripening in the entire region. After 4 years of working with Flyaway BMS as a tool, I no longer consider birds as a major pest. Once we place the product to keep the birds away from our earliest varieties, they don’t seem to return during our normal 3 weeks of harvest. Because of the products’ longevity, we’ve also been successful in removing product pouches and placing them into Honey Crisp & Gala blocks to increase the return on investment, truly a great product!”
