| The labeled rate of use in standing
water is one gallon of Bird Shield™ in 500 gallons of water,
however subsequent experience has indicated that Bird Shield™ may
be effective at much reduced rates, perhaps in the range of one in ten or
twenty thousand. It is suggested that the user try a small amount and
increase it from time to time until he observes the birds leaving. It is
legal to use Bird Shield™ at less than the labeled rate, but not
more.
There are some cautions about
using Bird Shield™ in water. Tests have shown that Bird
Shield™ is toxic to certain types of fish. Read the MSDS, available on
this web site, for more information. Be sure to use it only in water that
is not fish habitat. Second, use it only in standing water, such as
fountains or ornamental ponds. In flowing water, the product will not stay
around long enough to do any good, and may flow into fish bearing streams.
Around ponds, Bird Shield™ can be used right down to the high water mark, as tests have shown that it does not relocate and migrate into the water
