Fly Away will not harm birds or animals. However, some studies have shown the active ingredient (methyl anthranilate) can be slightly toxic to young fish. This occurs if high concentrations of MA are present in a confined area where fish cannot escape – an unlikely situation when Fly Away is used as directed. Fly Away blocks and granules disperse MA into the air through an aromatic process. They should not be applied directly to any body of water or waterway, however incidental runoff from land to water is expected with normal use.
Although FDA approved active ingredient, Fly Away BMS is not manufactured with the stringent sanitation standards found in the food industry. It should therefore be stored in a safe place away from children and pets, and proper protection is recommended when handling and applying.Endangered Birds
Before using Fly Away BMS or any other means of bird mitigation, it’s important to ensure you’re acting responsibly and lawfully with respect to wildlife and the environment. It’s unlawful to disturb or threaten any bird species protected under the Endangered Species Act as explained in these U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Wildlife Federation resources.
“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.”
