Will vapor work on your birds?

Bird Trouble?

The answer is vapor.

Humane • Invisible • Plant-Based • Safe

Sure, you like birds. You just don’t want them in your commercial facility. Cleaning up their messes isn’t just a hazard & a nuisance – it costs time and money.

We get it: that’s why we created BirdBuffer®.

Our Promise

Commercial Bird Control

That Just Works.

BirdBuffer commercial pest bird control technology automatically emits a plant-based invisible Methyl Anthranilate (MA) vapor that conditions birds to leave treatment areas and not return. Unlike standard MA applicators like foggers, sprays, or mists, BirdBuffer technology creates a dry vapor that can cover large areas with minimal fluid use. Our vapor is created from EPA-registered, FDA-approved liquid bird repellent that’s made from concentrated grape skin extract. BirdBuffer solutions are extremely effective, affordable, and completely safe – for both humans and birds.

There’s a reason why BirdBuffer is the leading choice for vapor-based bird control.

But will BirdBuffer work on my birds?

Short answer: yes.

All birds have a nerve near their beaks and eyes called the Trigeminal nerve. Methyl Anthranilate, the substance that we create our vapor from, causes an unpleasant (but completely temporary and non-toxic) sensation in that nerve. Exposure to MA causes a quick in-flight avoidance response that improves with repeated exposure. The reaction is non-acclimatizing – meaning birds never get used to it. While different species require tailored bird control planning to account for migration patterns or wildlife regulations, BirdBuffer will always work.

MA has been thoroughly studied, peer-reviewed, and registered with the US EPA for use as a bird repellent since 1985. Combining BirdBuffer vaporizing technology with this well-established agent results in one of the most effective long-term solutions for bird control on the market.
