Our company does alot of bird work in Southern California. We decided that it made more sense to treat our bird problems exclusively with Avitrol grains and haven’t looked back since.

We had quite a problem with House Sparrows in our machine sheds and barns for a number of years. After using Avitrol for just one season, we haven’t seen a single bird since.

Our private garages were constantly covered in Pigeon droppings. We hired an Avitrol applicator to come out and apply this season, and it looks like we’re bird free for the first time!
