How It Works

Haze from the Bird Buffer works to repel birds while in flight. It is most effective when birds are flying in, before they roost or sleep. While in flight, birds breathe 30X faster, and the haze is inhaled at a faster, effective rate.

Bird Buffer works with tested and approved bird repellant, MA (Methyl Anthranilate). MA, is a safe grape juice concentrate and flavoring used in many food products including bubble gum and is USFDA approved (United States Food and Drug Administration ). The Bird Buffer is operated by an electrically controlled air compressor/blower motor to vaporize the fluid.

When the Bird Buffer is turned on, haze is immediately emitted. The tiny particles of haze (less than 10 microns) enter the birds breathing system. It becomes an irritant and the birds fly away. When the birds come back, they once again breath the irritant and fly away. Birds soon remember the irritant in the area…and stay away.

The benefits of haze

Because of this non-heated vaporization process, the scent that is emitted is more pleasant than with much more standard fog machines. The haze is a very transparent (almost invisible) smooth substance, unlike a thick, quick disappearing fog. Haze lasts up to 4 hours in the atmosphere and in enclosed areas. Outside, the haze travels further because of its lasting quality. With the hang time of haze being 40X longer than fog, the result is a longer treatment where you want it, using less fluid. Haze does not effect other animals or people.

The Bird Buffer launches particles out of its 2”x2” nozzle at a very high velocity of 90mph. This spreads the particles apart, and makes the bird haze virtually invisible.

Unlimited cycle-timer capabilities

When plugged into the 24 hour timer and the power switch is turned on, the blower pushes out the haze. A remote control with cycle-timer turns on the bird haze and runs the blower. The bird haze cycle timer can be adjusted to run at the highest traffic time for flying birds. Then set for a lower rate of dispersment when the birds have left.

Why is Automation of the machine important?

In our studies, we have found that the automation is extremely key to good bird control. By offering a timer that turns the machine on and off at regular intervals, we have found:

• The haze spreads better and stays drier without residue or using too much fluid.
• It keeps the haze from being too thick. Being invisible is key to our program.
• It provides less consumption of product at the right times. The one gallon per month can only work with automation.
• It pulses the particles further without over-saturating the air with too much product.
• Too much haze is as bad as too little. Proper settings are key to best results. It’s like driving a car 90 mph in a 35 mph zone if you leave it on all the time.
• The birds have nothing to relate to the discomfort. The haze stays invisible, they don’t know when it will be coming. They can only relate to your facility being the problem. So they go away and stay away.

Long periods of time can be completely hazed sufficiently with only small amounts of fluid. Each hour of haze only uses 6 minutes of the overall setting. This allows you to only use one gallon per month without overuse.

For open outdoor areas

The Bird Buffer will cover a one acre area when strategically placed with wind assistance or a wind machine. To check wind direction and best placement, use the Windicator Can of spray smoke to determine coverage.

The organic Bird Buffer formulation

Rejex-it Bird Repellent is used without any dilution. It is an organic formulation made from grape extract concentrate which does not mix with water. It is a registered product for approved use with bird control and cannot be changed in its composition.

Easy Setup, Instant Results Simply select a stable, even surface, or hang in a suitably recommended location. Add Rejex-It fluid to Bird Buffer, plug in the Remote Control Timer, position the unit, plug it in and your ready to go. Bird Buffer runs on standard 110VAC and draws 9-11 amps. (230VAC, 50Hz, 8A)

Rejex-it consumption

Bird Buffer requires very little product. Two ounces are generally enough to cover 4 acres per day. Usually two weeks are sufficient to control established flocks of birds from the treated area. While some birds will try to return, the subsequent operation of running less and less each month will be enough to continuously deter the flying birds from returning.

The best time to haze

Best results are achieved when birds become active, flying vigorously in the early morning and evening, just before settling down for the night. Set the clock timer for the early morning when they actively fly to look for their preferred feeding grounds and late afternoon when they can fly to locations to relocate. It is important to expose the birds when flying in or out of the area so they have time to find another location before dark. This is a training process that takes several weeks.
