Avitrol Whole Corn Bird Repellent is a restricted use pesticide and must have a certified applicator license to be able to purchase.

Avitrol Whole Corn Bird Repellent, manufactured by Avitrol Corporation, is a treated grain bait that is designed to ward off various bird species. It is made with whole corn kernels that are treated with an agent that causes a reaction in birds when eaten that is similar to an epileptic seizure.

Birds that eat the Avitrol bait will be affected causing them to act in a way that alerts the other birds to leave the area. This may include erratic flying, chirping loudly, trembling, dilation of the pupils, and other symptoms indicating a loss of nervous system control.

Avitrol is used by licensed professionals and is a great product to keep birds out of crops, manufacturing plants and off of residential areas.

Tools Needed

We recommend using food trays and setting them in areas where only targeted birds can reach the whole corn mixture. A ladder may also be needed to reach targeted areas. Be sure to wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) before handling any product. Before using Avitrol, you will need to pre-bait with untreated grains.

How to Use

• Step 1: Pre-bait sites with normal whole corn kernels to earn birds' trust, determine where to place the treated corn kernels, and how much to apply. We recommend using bait boxes and placing them in areas where non-targeted animals cannot access the bait.
• Step 2: You can use the Avitrol bird calculator app to help determine the mixture of regular corn and treated corn that will be needed to deter birds in that particular area. For general applications, use a dilution ratio of 1 part Avitrol to 5 parts untreated grain.
• Step 3: Although the goal is to deter birds without incident, sometimes they will eat a lethal dose. If this occurs, dispose of any deceased birds and leftover food as soon as possible. Continue to fill bait boxes until the flock stops returning.

Where to Use

Avitrol Whole Corn Bird Repellent can be used on rooftops of businesses, homes, around crops, manufacturing plants and other areas where birds flocks destroy property with nests or waste. It is recommended to place out pre-bait boxes to determine what areas the flock visits the most before placing treated corn. This will help prevent the treated corn from being eaten by non-targeted animals.

Do not apply to growing food crops, and where livestock and/or poultry may be exposed.

When to Use

Atrivol Whole Corn Bird Repellent can be used when American, Northern, and Fish Crows are infesting your area. When to use Avitrol depends on the sensitivity of the area needing treatment. If there are numerous people or non-targeted animals frequently visiting the site, that is considered a sensitive area. It is suggested to place Avitrol when people are not visiting the area and when other animals are not out. If treating the rooftop of a business, it is best to wait until it is closed or after rush hour to bait with Avitrol. Avitrol should only be used after pre-baiting has been implemented long enough to learn when most of the flocks visit the area.

Special Considerations

Keep persons (other than authorized handlers) as well as pets and livestock, away from treated bait and dead or dying birds at all times. Only protected handlers may be in the area during bait application until all dead bird and unused bait is retrieved.
