Every year, as summer winds down and harvest season nears, farmers and ranchers gear up for one of the busiest — and most critical — times of the year. But while you’re preparing to bring in the fruits of your labor, so are the birds.
Migrating flocks like starlings, blackbirds, and grackles arrive in droves, targeting your grain bins, feedlots, silage piles, and crop fields. And they don’t just eat a little — they devastate. These birds can destroy thousands of dollars in feed and grain in just a few days… not to mention the diseases they spread and the chaos they cause.
But there’s good news: Avitrol® is here to stop the flock — for good.
Bill runs 1,200 acres of corn and soybeans, along with a 250-head dairy operation in the Midwest. Every fall, like clockwork, the starlings came. Thousands of them. They swooped into his silage bunkers, perched on the rafters in the feed barn, and coated everything with droppings. Feed loss, stress on his herd, and sanitation issues were piling up — and so was the cost.
But Bill had one thing working for him: a Private Pesticide Applicator License.
Rather than bringing in an outside pest control company, Bill decided to take back control of his property. He consulted Avitrol’s application guide, ordered the right product for his situation, and followed label instructions precisely.
Bill applied Avitrol-treated grain in key staging areas near his feedlot and silage pit. Within 48 hours, the flock started panicking — and within a few days, they were gone.
“No endless noise. No strangers walking through my operation. Just results,” Bill would say.
Avitrol worked — and he handled it himself.
Avitrol isn’t just another deterrent — it’s a targeted flock control tool designed to humanely remove pest birds through behavioral modification. Here's how it works:
✅ Birds ingest a small dose of treated bait.
✅ A few experience symptoms that cause flock-wide panic.
✅ The rest of the birds learn fast and leave the area.
✅ You get your harvest, silage, and feedlot protected — without endless chasing or noise pollution.
It's safe when handled professionally, highly effective, and field-tested for decades.
