“Avian Control Bird Repellent is one of the only
liquid bio-pesticides on the market that is EPA reg-
istered for fruits and vegetables, including wine
grapes,” says Avian Enterprises’ president, Jon
Stone. “What distinguishes it from any competition
is the enhanced efficacy provided by the combina-
tion of the active ingredient, Methyl Anthranilate,
and the proprietary inert ingredients. When for-
mulated together, [they] allow for greater effec-
tiveness by having a more potent initial repellency
and by exhibiting a much slower biodegradation
rate. The end result is a much more effective and
longer-lasting repellency on crops, including wine
grapes. Methyl anthranilate occurs naturally and is
found in bergamot, black locust, gardenia, jasmine,
lemon, mandarin oranges and strawberries. MA is
completely biodegradable, as are all of the ingredi-
ents in the Avian Control formula.
