There are so many methods for deterring birds that the U.S. Government has published a full report that summarizes them: Methods of Bird Control: Advantages and Disadvantages. Although an excellent resource for understanding the wide variety of bird control techniques, a quick review of this reference reveals just how ineffective these methods are. Unfortunately, such poor results can lead to lethal, last-resort measures where hundreds or thousands of birds end up euthanized. By comparison, here are the key advantages that make Fly Away BMS such a superior alternative to traditional methods:
No Harm To Birds
All Fly Away ingredients are approved by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) or listed as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials). Fly Away is completely biodegradable and will not harm birds or wildlife.
Fast, Safe, Easy Delivery SystemAvailable in solid block or granule form, Fly Away requires no measuring, mixing or commercial-grade application equipment. And easy application comes with no worries about spillage, overspray or clean up.
Natural, Time-Released Effectiveness
When first applied, Fly Away’s aroma is at its strongest, which is exactly what’s needed to displace well-established birds. After birds move on and time passes, Fly Away gradually breaks down, emitting a weaker scent that’s still enough to prevent any passing birds from lingering.
Safer Around Gardens, Orchards & Crops
The unique Fly Away block delivery system means you never apply it directly to fruits, vegetables or other edible crops. Gardens, fruit trees, vineyards and orchards are protected from birds without the danger of being tainted by bird repellent. We do not recommend applying Fly Away granules in gardens or crops because the active ingredient may leech into the soil and potentially affect crop flavor.
“I was having many issues with birds and other critters due to a next door neighbor who puts out many bird feeders, including ones along my property line. To date, they have 10 feeders out. The feeders are never moved or cleaned and left out year round. Hence they attract many other items besides birds, but the birds have been the messiest by far. The birds seem to sit everywhere around my home and property and always leave many presents. In addition to making nests everywhere not welcomed, they were living under our cars on our driveway leaving seed and poop all over the drive. We even had car repair bills because they and the attraction of mice to their seed were living in the engines of our cars.
When I first found out about the Fly Away BMS products, I tried a few and noticed an immediate difference. I first tried the discs, and then was told the pouches may work better, so now I use both, and added the black weather caps to avoid the rain. The difference in how many birds now visit us everywhere (to include under the car) has changed immensely. We’ve even hung a couple from under our car, and it has also helped.
I highly recommend using this product if you have pesky bird issues, but have no control over what's bringing them on your property. They do work!
Thanks Fly Away - You have made an intolerable situation much easier to handle. We are now working on getting our HOA to limit the amount of feeders on someone's property as well as placement of the feeders. We wish us luck!”
