🚜 Fall is Coming-So Are the Birds. Are You Ready?

As the weather cools and the days shorten, farmers are gearing up for one of the most important times of the year: harvest season. But there’s another group getting ready to feast-and they didn’t do any of the work.

Starlings. Blackbirds. Grackles.
They’re not just passing through. They’re migrating in massive numbers, and they see ripening cornfields, feedlots, and stockyards as one big, free buffet.

And guess what?
Farmers aren’t the only ones who should be preparing-bird control pros should be too.

🐦 Migration Season Means Opportunity Season (If You’re Ready)

Every fall, thousands of birds descend on American farms looking for high-calorie food sources to fuel their long migrations. And they’re not picky. Corn, sorghum, silage, grain bins, livestock feed-it’s all fair game.

That’s why now is the time to start targeting crop farms, dairy farms, and stockyards with a solution that actually works:

👉 Avitrol Corn Chops.

🌽 Why Avitrol Corn Chops?

Corn Chops are designed specifically for large, open agricultural environments where traditional bird scare tactics fail. Here’s what makes it ideal for harvest season:

• ✅ Targeted for starlings and blackbirds-the very species swarming farms this time of year.

• ✅ Minimally disruptive to farm operations-apply early and let the behavioral cue do the work.

• ✅ Fast, visible results-birds leave, and word spreads through the flock.

• ✅ Low-labor, high-margin product-perfect for scaling your seasonal services.

This isn’t a scarecrow gimmick. It’s behavioral science in a bag.

📍 Who You Should Be Talking To (Right Now)

If you’re in bird control and looking to boost your fall revenue, these are your Tier 1 targets:

1. Crop Farms

Especially those growing corn, sorghum, or sunflower. These crops are candy to migrating birds, and the losses add up fast.

2. Dairy Farms

Starlings steal high-protein livestock feed, spread disease, and contaminate water sources. Farmers hate them-but most don’t know bird control is an option beyond netting.

3. Stockyards & Feedlots

Anywhere animals are fed outdoors, you’ll find birds taking advantage. And it’s not just nuisance-it’s a direct hit to operating costs and biosecurity.

Avitrol Corn Chops

Avitrol Corn Chops are labeled for the repellency and behavior modification of certain pest birds, primarily:

• European Starlings
• Red-Winged Blackbirds
• Common Grackles
• Brown-Headed Cowbirds

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t Sell a Product-Sell Relief

Most farmers don’t want to hear about “active ingredients” or “behavioral modifiers.” They want to hear this:

“We can keep the birds off your feed and out of your crops during harvest. You’ll lose fewer bushels and spend less money feeding starlings.”

Lead with outcomes.
Show them how bird control = crop insurance.
And make sure they know you’re using Corn Chops, not just “some repellent.”

🔚 Fall’s Not Waiting-Neither Are the Birds

The window is short. The stakes are high. And the birds are already en route.

If you’re in the bird control business, fall is your time to shine.
Stock up on Avitrol Corn Chops, map out your ag clients, and hit the ground running.

Because the harvest belongs to the farmer-
Not the flock.
