ReJeX-iT® AG-36


water. Spray evenly to cover one acre of turf or lawns to wet out the grass evenly without run-off into the ground. Rinse tank, lines and nozzle immediately after spraying. Do not apply when rain is expected within the next 3 hours. Repeat in 5 days if geese persist or come back.
For one (1) gal of spray mix:
Stir or shake ReJeX-iT® AG-36 well and add one quart ReJeX-iT® AG-36 to the spray tank and fill to one gallon with water. Spray evenly on the grass surfaces to be protected against geese. The spray mix should cover 4,000 sq. ft. of turf.

Typical Coverage for Turf:

ReJeX-iT® AG-36 Spray mix Coverage
1 quart (2.1 lb) 1 gal 4,000 sq. ft.
1 gal (8 lb) 4 gal 16,000 sq. ft.
20 lb (2.5 gal) 10 gal 1 acre
40 lb (5.0 gal) 20 gal 2 acre

ReJeX-iT® AG-36 must stick to the grass to be effective. Any run-off onto the ground is lost as active aversion agent.

When geese graze and taste grass treated with ReJeX-iT® AG-36, the geese sometimes will shake their head and leave the area or head for the nearest water to attempt to rid themselves of the taste of ReJeX-iT®. If they try to feed once more on the treated area, the response is much faster and they usually leave the area all together to find more palatable food.

TURF CONDITIONS: For best results, the treated areas should be dry and freshly mown. Efficacy tests on this product indicate that the ReJeX-iT® AG-36 must be present at an aversive level on the grass to ensure repellency. High turf conditions increase the amount of repellent needed and could require additional treatments with AG-36 to obtain the desired effect. Low cut turf will decrease the amount of AG-36 required to

repel geese, but also attracts geese more to a specific lawn. Do not mow treated area for several days after treatment. If you mow, do not collect the clippings.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Apply to dry turf and preferably under conditions favoring prompt drying of AG-36 spray mixture (no rain in the forecast). If product is applied to wet turf or during damp, misty or rainy conditions, or if AG-36 spray mixture freezes during application, the effectiveness may be partially or completely lost. CAUTION: If product or AG-36 spray mixture freezes, turf damage may occur.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: When mixing or applying ReJeX-iT® AG-36 spray mixture wear safety glasses.

VENTILATION: Prepare the ReJeX-iT® AG-36 spray mixture in a well ventilated area.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT: Less than 1/3 acre - Trigger, bucket pump, slide pump, or compressed air sprayer. More than 1/3 acre - Compressed air, wheel-barrow, power sprayer or power blast sprayer.

OBSERVATIONS: After the first or second treatment, it has been observed that less ReJeX-iT® AG-36 may be used to repel birds. If an effective level of ReJeX-iT® AG-36 has been achieved, it will be evident in the behavior of the geese. Geese that have come in contact with excessive amounts of ReJeX-iT ® AG-36 have been observed shaking their head, and rapidly passing through treated areas, or fly away. It is common for birds that have had an initial taste of ReJeX-iT® AG-36 to avoid the treated area altogether. Geese may also move quickly to a pond or lake to drink, and begin splashing and preening. If geese do not avoid the treated area, additional applications are recommended. Additional applications may also be required if migrating or non-resident geese arrive after initial treatment. The threshold level to achieve repellency is higher for geese that have not had an
