Frequently Asked Questions - Guano be Gone

Guano-Be-Gone works by producing an irritant that birds find noxious. On top of this collection of natural irritants we add a strong bubble gum smell so that birds associate the smell with the irritant and avoid the area. Without this smell it takes much longer for the birds to realise what is causing the irritant and thus they would stay in the area longer, and we don’t want that.
The best way to ensure this is to spray lots. Spray the whole shed, the whole pad, or the whole deck. Don’t just spray the area the birds are. You want to get lots of irritant in the area for it to work best. Also give the area a good spray, heavier than you would spray weed killer.
If there is food within the area it can take up to 3 weeks, but most birds leave the area within 1-2 days.

All of the area. If you have problems in a shed spray the whole shed, walls, floor, rafters. Even if it is a dirt or concrete floor it will hold Guano-Be-Gone remarkably well and more birds will stay away for longer than if you did not spray the floor.
This depends on the surface. For outdoor surfaces every 3 weeks. For areas with 1-3 walls every 4-6 weeks. For entirely enclosed areas 8-12 weeks.

Yes, for the first few days. It smells like bubblegum, or licourish, or children’s medicine depending on who you ask. The smell fades out of human noticeability in a few days, but remains smell able for birds for several weeks.

Chickens, ducks, and pukekohes. (none have a sense of smell). We have had mixed feedback about blackbirds, with some customers reporting it doesn’t work on these.
