Direction for Use on Turf1

ReJeX-iT® AG-36 is a tool for the behavior modification of Canada geese (Branta Canadensis) and other nuisance birds. While it changes the taste of the treated turf to become unpalatable to geese, it is only distasteful as long as the grass remains treated. The effect is not systemic and as the grass grows it is renewed with fresh untreated grass that is good food for geese. To be effective the applications have to be done to change the behavior of the geese to leave the area completely to find better feeding and living conditions. Any harassment method used before the application of ReJeX-iT® AG-36 should be continued to accelerate the departure of the geese during the time the grass is unpalatable. Any feeding of the birds negates all efforts for success. While it is relatively easy to repel the geese when they first come to an area, it is far more difficult to repel them once they have established themselves in an area.

The conditions for treatment of the various grassy surfaces with ReJeX-iT® AG-36 vary considerably by type of grass, from State to State, by seasons and time of day. As a taste aversion agent, the important consideration is the effective concentration of ReJeX-iT® AG-36 on the food the geese or other birds ingest and the complete coverage of the effected area. For best results, a quantity of 20 lbs ReJeX-iT® AG-36 per acre is recommended. Depending on spray equipment used and the use of additional spreaders, or in repeat applications, quantities as low as 10 lbs per acre might might be sufficient.

EPA Reg. No. 58035-9

The product has been formulated for optimum results with a spreader/sticker already mixed into the product. For use, ReJeX-iT®AG-36 only needs to be diluted with sufficient amounts of water to spray the desired area. Generally a dilution rate of 1:3 is recommended. However, some high performance sprayers are capable to spray the same amount of product at a rate of 1:1. For best results, the grass should be mowed before application and it has to be dry with no rain in the forecast for the next 3 hours.

Label Directions:
TURF DILUTION DIRECTIONS: Shake or stir ReJeX-iT® AG-36 container well prior to diluting. Mix ReJeX-iT® AG-36 with water at a ratio of 1 part product to 3 parts water. For example, mix 1 quart of product with 3 quarts of water to make 1 gallon of spray mixture. Mix product outside or in ventilated area.
TURF APPLICATION DIRECTIONS: Apply at a rate of 20 lbs AG-36 (10 gallons spray mixture, 2.9 lbs a.i.) per acre of turf area. Spray evenly on area to be protected to provide thorough coverage and allow material to dry before permitting human activity on treated area. Repeat in 4 days or as warranted by Canada goose activity. Do not mow the treated area for several days after application.
