Bird-X Bird Proof Gel
Bird-X Bird Proof Gel is positioned as a best-in-class choice for barn exteriors because of its heavy-duty tack and weather-resistant formulation that holds up longer under sun and rain than many consumer gels. Its higher initial coverage and longer service interval typically deliver a lower cost-per-square-foot over time compared with lighter, more cosmetic options like 4 The Birds, while remaining easier to source and apply than some specialist agricultural products.
