When fall arrives, farmers across the country face the same challenge: flocks of blackbirds, grackles, and starlings raiding ripening crops. Left unchecked, these birds can cause thousands of dollars in crop loss, especially in corn, sunflower, and sorghum fields. That’s why more growers turn to Avitrol Corn Chops, a proven solution designed to protect harvests when it matters most.
Avitrol Corn Chops is a cracked corn bait treated with 4-aminopyridine, the active ingredient in Avitrol products. Unlike poisons, Avitrol doesn’t need to wipe out entire flocks to be effective. Instead, it acts as a flock dispersing agent.
When a few birds consume the treated bait, they display temporary distress behaviors—fluttering, vocalizing, and erratic movements. These signals scare the rest of the flock into abandoning the field, often for good.
This makes Avitrol Corn Chops both effective and humane, providing farmers with reliable crop protection without the need for constant chasing or netting.
During the fall harvest, crops are at peak ripeness—making them irresistible to pest birds. Studies show that flocks can destroy 10–25% of yields in a matter of days if not controlled. Corn, sorghum, and sunflowers are especially vulnerable, as blackbirds and starlings flock by the thousands.
Avitrol Corn Chops is designed specifically for this season, helping farmers:
Reduce crop loss at the most valuable time of year.
Protect profits by preventing large-scale feeding damage.
Save time and resources compared to other bird control methods.
Pre-Baiting Phase – Birds are first introduced to untreated cracked corn, allowing them to feed comfortably without suspicion.
Switch to Treated Bait – Once feeding is established, Avitrol Corn Chops are deployed. Only a few birds need to consume it for the flock to disperse.
Flock Dispersal – The flock interprets the distress reactions as a predator attack, triggering a mass departure from the field.
With this method, farmers see results quickly while minimizing the amount of product used.
✅ Protects Yields – Prevents costly damage from blackbirds, starlings, and grackles.
✅ Humane & Targeted – Designed to scare birds away, not kill entire flocks.
✅ Efficient – Small amounts of bait produce big results.
✅ Proven in Agriculture – Used by farmers for decades during harvest seasons.
The fall harvest is the payoff for months of hard work. Don’t let pest birds take their share. Avitrol Corn Chops gives farmers the power to protect fields, preserve yields, and finish the season strong.
