Bird-X BS-GAL Bird Stop Liquid Bird Deterrent, 1-Gallon

Mixed the solution as instructions, sprayed some on metal over hangs where birds perch , next day there were yellow stains in the white paint; the solution had bleached the white paint, use it with caution.

I live in a retirement community in SC's low country. We have water retention ponds throughout the community with fountains to prevent algae buildup, but all those water sources attract countless geese. Even with my Sheltie chasing them back into the water, they are not deterred from returning. The geese eat our grass and poop everywhere. This year they are especially bad, and I've counted up to fifty two on my small back yard at one time. Taking my dog out to relieve himself is like walking through a minefield of geese poop. So I purchased Bird X Bird Stop liquid and mixed the recommended twelve ounces per gallon and sprayed my backyard that abuts the pond. It didn't work, as the geese had to be chased away repeatedly. I did a second application after having rain, and that too failed to deter the geese. Today, June 8, 2025, I covered the lawn heavily with product, and while I was cleaning up the pump sprayer that I used, the geese were eating the grass even though the product was still wet. After three failures to work, I decided I needed to write a review to warn other consumers. In my experience this product does not work at all, and if anything it seems like caviar to the geese, because they ate the grass while the milky substance was still wet on the blades of grass. Clearly, the supposed terrible taste isn't terrible to geese. Waste of money!

Ive been searching for a solution to my duck/goose issue for a while. I live on a lake in Florida and have tried plastic owls, motion activated sprinklers, ultra sonic sounds, strobes, wind chimes, foil strips, ect. None were a permanent solution. I applied this (you need to dilute it with water) to my grass at the recommended ratio. Used to have about 30 ducks and a few geese daily. Now? Zero. They still stay along the shoreline, but dont come up on the property. Im not sure if the deterrent is the smell of the product (like an artificial grape smell, not unpleasant) or the taste. In any case, Its 12 days after application and it works like a charm. In my mind, Im considering this as a needed periodic application.....like fertilizer. So far, so great!

Works well on detering geese. Doesn't seem to deter ducks, which is good or bad depending on your preferences.

This product is adding more pigeons and it stains any white surface badly. To get it off I must use lacquer thinner. Just more work for no benefit. And it's expensive too.

Problem: Birds were pooping on things inside my pole building that I use for storage. Solution: Bird X Deterrent - The first time I applied it, the results weren't great, but a better than before. So, I applied it again about a week later and applied it heavier. This time they didn't stay around. That was about 2 weeks ago and I haven't seen birds inside my building for at least a week and a half now.
