Fogging of Rejex-it® TP-40 offers an efficient method for the management and dispersal of nuisance birds from many areas. The amount of the methyl anthranilate (MA) based repellent is greatly reduced over any other application method. The method is direct and is independent of the activity of the birds. Application with any aerosol generator, thermal or mechanical, that can deliver droplets of less than 20 microns, has been shown to be very effective. The operation can be manually or fully automatic and pose only minimal risks to operators or animals. All birds that became a nuisance and safety problem in the hangars and warehouses of TWA and AA at LaGuardia and Newark were successfully driven out by fogging Rejex-it® TP-40 with a thermal fogger. Applications in a dairy barn, a dry boat storage, on a pipe rack, and electric substation all have also been demonstrated to be very cost effective and long lasting without killing a single bird.
