The large structures and open areas of commercial buildings and spaces can be very attractive to a wide variety of birds. Hang Fly Away blocks in rafters, walkway covers, warehouses, industrial equipment, air conditioning units, HVAC installations—anywhere bird congregation becomes a nuisance or injurious to people, property or equipment. At the same time, remove as many attractants as possible (See Understanding Birds). If nests are found containing eggs or young chicks, wait until the eggs hatch and chicks fledge before applying blocks.
Each Fly Away block has an effective coverage of a sphere approximately 10 feet in diameter. Place blocks up to 10 feet apart. This will help in removing the birds from the area. If birds continue to congregate, increase the density to approximately 6 feet apart. As they gradually degenerate, the blocks release methyl anthranilate, the active aromatic ingredient that birds avoid. When they’ve lost a quarter to a third of their original size (about 3 months), replace the blocks to maintain a bird-free environment.
“I purchased this product last year. I have a 3 car garage that the birds had pretty much taken over. I couldn't park my car in it because they would "crap" all over it. The 1 side of the garage was the worst. The entire wall and door were just covered. I put up the product and within a week they were gone and didn't return. I decided to get ahead of the problem earlier this year. I'll be happy to update you later in the summer. Thanks.”
