BeakGuard Woodpecker Deterrent - Nova White
BeakGuard Woodpecker Deterrent, manufactured by Bird-B-Gone, is a special paint made from elastomeric acrylic. It is applied to surfaces like standard latex paint to deter damaging woodpeckers.
This product prompts a warning signal to woodpeckers with its highly unpleasant taste and texture when they land in the area where it has been applied. This makes the area undesirable to them, so they move to a different location.
The ingredients in BeakGuard are found in many other consumer products, such as nail-biting and thumb-sucking deterrents for children. This product provides outstanding durability and long service life, is dirt-resistant, and is waterproof.

To use BeakGuard Woodpecker Deterrent, you will need a brush, roller, paint pad, or appropriate spray equipment to apply to your target surfaces.
