Pest Control Product FAQ’s

Hi Mark

If you have birds sitting on the antenna, do put the Gel on the antenna. If birds are going under the solar panel to nest ( Pigeons like doing this ) put the Gel on the roof directly under the solar panels and all the way around the panels. If you have any gel left apply to the frame of the solar panels especially the high point.

Regards Darren

Hi Tim

Yes, apply the Gel on the roof, directly under the solar panel and all the way around them. Most people will do close spiralling circles or wavy lines. Do make sure that any Pigeon nesting material is removed from under the solar panel. To apply the Gel thickly say 10 to 15 mm wide to get the longest life span. 5 tubes sound about right. If you have any left put in on the high points of the solar panel frame.

Hi Candy

If applied thickly the Bird Gel can last up to 2 years. It is water-resistant so won’t wash off in the rain, and can handle temperatures of over 80 Celsius so shouldn’t melt in the sun.

The only issue I see in your application is how high your pool fence is?

The bird gel is sticky stuff and its best not to install it in any location where people might have inadvertent contact with it.

Hi Rob

Thanks for your enquiry

1 ) I wouldn’t put the Bird Gel anywhere where people might have inadvertent contact with it. It doesn’t hurt but its sticky, and if you get it on your hands you’ll have to wash them twice to remove it. So not a good substance to get on good clothes especially

2 ) Once applied to any surface all bird gel products will go the colour of the local dust.

3 ) The Bird Gel seems impervious to heavy torrential rain, and unlike other birds that need a solvent to remove you can use water and soap/detergent to remove.

4 ) fresh Bird Gel is easy enough to remove, but if it’s been there for a while most of it will decay away but it can leave a black residue. The residue can be removed with water and soap/detergent but can take some elbow grease as well and the extra rubbing required to get it off can itself mark some painted surfaces. Metal surfaces appear to be the least affected by this. You can use that cloth-lined waterproof duct tape to put on the area to be protected and then put the gel on that to ease removal of the gel from pitted or uneven surfaces.

As a silent alternative to the Bird Gel to repel Magpies and Crows there is only the Bird Repellent Eyes to repel Crows.

Hello Zoran,

We haven’t had any reports of the Bird Repellent Gel staining rendered surfaces.  Being partially vegetable oil based, the bulk of the Gel will dissipate in time but a black residue can remain.  This can be washed off with water and soap or detergent.

Yes, this product would work. The Bird Repellent Gel is a non-toxic, non-harmful sticky yellow substance that is impervious to rain and can handle temperatures of up to 80 Celsius.  Bird and possums don’t like the taste or subtle smell of it and most of all they don’t like the feel of it on their feet.  The Gel can be used on any surface.  Being sticky it is best to not use it where you may have inadvertent contact with it.  Best applied in either a spiral circle or zigzag lines depending on the severity of your bird problem.

The Bird Gel is sticky so we do not recommend it be applied where people may inadvertently come in contact with it as you would get it on your clothes.
