About the Fluid

Rejex-it® Bird Repellant is a liquid agent that offers an efficient tool for the management of nuisance birds without harming target and non-target birds or other animals The active ingredient in Rejex-it® is called methyl anthranilate or MA. MA is listed by the Unites States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) as a flavoring compound in 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 182.60. The compound is classified as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), by the Expert Panel of the Flavor & Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA). It is used as a flavoring agent in beverages, ice creams, candy, baked goods, gelatins, puddings, and chewing gum.

Used in chewing gum and candy measured in parts per million and is 2200 ppm. Bird response of the vaporized fluid in the Bird Buffer is less than 5 ppm. Higher concentrations are not necessary if the automated cycle constantly introduces new and fresh nano-particles in the air the birds frequent.

The use of MA in fragrances is allowed by the Research Institute for Flavoring Materials (RIFM). One of the largest selling floral fragrances in the world uses MA as the important floral component. In this regard, it is not replaceable. Generally used in flavors and fragrances, MA is also a naturally occurring biochemical present in concord grapes and many blossoms. Additionally, this unique compound serves as the active ingredient in Avian Repellents. The ability of MA to repel birds has been known since the early 1960's.

MA is a repellent based on a safe chemical called methyl anthranilate (MA), a naturally occurring compound with reduced risk to the environment. As a proactive method it depends on birds to be exposed to the repellent by flying through the fine aerosol mist or nano-particles that are airborne. Mechanical vaporization machines that vaporize Rejex-it® relies on the exposure of the birds to the vapor. By vaporizing the product into extremely small particles called nano-particles, the reaction from the birds is increased 2000%. This smaller nano-particle reduces the amount of repellent being used and the cost of the application is better controlled. After several exposures to the vapor, the birds leave the area to find other roosting locations. As they return in 3-5 days and feel the nano-particles are still in the air, they return less frequently. Automated aerosol systems inhibit any future re-infestation from new bird populations and assure a total bird free environment. Use in mechanical aerosol equipment such as the automated Bird Buffer unit produces a finer aerosol that is more repellent to birds than previously thought.

Birds do not have to smell the product in order to obtain a reaction in their mucous membrane called the trigeminal nerve. Birds sensitivity is far higher than previously tested. They react up to 700' away if they fly into the nano-particles that are air borne. By setting the timer to come on during the busy flight time of the birds, results have caused the birds to wait for it to go away. They continually try to find other areas to go to and soon leave the area. When birds can't see it, but they get a reaction to it, they can't outsmart it, so they leave. This educational process takes 3-5 days in small areas, up to 2 weeks in larger areas. The Bird Buffer guarantees 96% bird control in open spaces in less than 2 weeks.
