Welcome back to another intriguing episode of the Living The Wildlife Podcast, hosted by Stephen M. Vantassel, a dedicated wildlife control consultant here to guide you through the nuanced world of vertebrate pest control. This episode builds on our enlightening series with a special focus on Avatrol, the innovative company behind chemical frightening products aimed at pest bird management. Join us as we continue our engaging conversation with Mr. Dillingham of Avatrol in "AvitrolPart2," diving deeper into the vital aspects of product application and the common pitfalls in measurement methods encountered in the field.

In this episode, we emphasize the critical need for precise mixing ratios to achieve effective pest control, challenging the traditional "volume method" and championing the more accurate "weight method." We'll also explore the evolution of product application ratios, from a robust 1:5 ratio to the now preferred 1:40 ratio, highlighting a significant reduction in active ingredients while still ensuring peak effectiveness—a testament to the product's potency and the shifting standards in the market.

Moreover, we introduce "Easy Blend," Avatrol's groundbreaking solution to the common challenges of product application. This innovative product promises to streamline the mixing process, dramatically reducing errors and ensuring uniform treatment outcomes across the board. We're excited to share that since the launch of Easy Blend, there has been a notable absence of incidents, underscoring its success in simplifying pest control practices for professionals everywhere.

Stay tuned for more episodes as we anticipate part three of this series, offering further insights into Avatrol's strategic approach to managing pest birds efficiently. Your journey into wildlife management is enriched with every listen, and we're here to support that journey with expert advice and in-depth discussions.
