1.) To reduce potential exposure to bird-related diseases, wear waterproof gloves and a mask approved for dust protection when cleaning areas to be treated. Prepare surfaces to be treated by removing dirt, droppings and other debris. Using water mixed with detergent, wet surfaces where droppings are present to limit generation of airborne dust during cleaning. Allow cleaned surfaces to dry fully prior to treatment as product adhesion may be reduced on wet surfaces.
2.) Check the condition of the surface to which the repellent is to be applied. Treat porous surfaces such as wood, stone or concrete with an undercoating such as paint or sealer before applying Tanglefoot Bird Repellent. On asphalt or wood shingles, or on any other surface from which relatively easy removal is desired, apply waterproof tape or similar material first and apply the repellent to the tape rather than directly to the surface.
1.) Place cartridge in standard caulking gun.
2.) Angle-cut the tip of the cartridge to desired bead width: 1/4" (6mm) for starlings and pigeons; 1/8" (3mm) for house sparrows. Do not apply beads wider than what is indicated.
3.) Beginning 1" (2.5cm) from outside edge, apply product in a line travelling the length of the surface to be treated. Leave 1" gaps every 10" (25cm) to allow for drainage. One line of bird repellent should be sufficient on surfaces up to 4" (10cm) wide. For surfaces 4" - 8" (10-20cm) wide, apply two parallel beads spaced 2" (5cm) apart, with the outermost bead being 1" from the outer edge. On surfaces wider than 8" (20cm) apply a series of parallel beads 2"-3" (5-7 cm) apart or apply two parallel beads 1" from the outer edges and a repeating "S-shaped" line throughout the area between the outer beads.
4.) One ounce of product will cover one linear foot at the bead width indicated for starlings and pigeons. One ounce of product will cover two linear feet for house sparrows.
5.) The effectiveness of this product will diminish if it becomes covered with dirt and debris. In such cases, clean the surface and reapply.
6.) Keep plastic cap on opened cartridge to prevent product contacting eyes.
Remove product by using vegetable oil first, followed by soap and water. Clean treated surfaces by removing tape (if used) and by scraping off material and applying mineral spirits. Wear appropriate skin and respiratory protection when performing these tasks.
