Pro Bird Control South Bend Tip of the Month: What smells repel birds?

While birds do not have an external nose similar to humans' they indeed have external nostrils also known as the nares. These nares are located on the beaks in different positions for different species of birds. However, for most birds, these nares are located on top of the beak and appear as two circular holes that just like the human nostrils, lead to the nasal cavities within the skull. They provide a pathway through which air flows through the bird's body to supply the needed oxygen.

And just like in humans, birds also have olfactory receptors within their nostrils. These particular receptors are responsible for harvesting different types of smells through the tiny hair-like protuberances that are supplied with plenty of mucous to facilitate smell capture. Different smells have different effects on birds. Some smells attract while others repel the birds. The following are some of the smells that repel birds;

• Chili pepper mix
• Peppermint oil
• Garlic
• Cayenne pepper

Chili pepper mix

A concoction of chili pepper, apple cider vinegar and water mixed in the right proportions then sprinkled all over the garden would repel birds. However, as is with every odor, this smell naturally fades in strength with time. One has to repeat the process every once in a while for a sustained effect on birds over time.

Peppermint oil

Peppermint oil may be considered by humans as a sweet smell yet, it irritates birds. With this understanding, one would apply this oil around the garden to deliberately repel the birds. As a result, the birds will naturally avoid that area just to stay away from the unpleasant smell.

Garlic

Garlic can exude a strong pungent smell. While there are humans who find this smell unpleasant, it is equally disgusting to the birds. The beauty of using garlic lies in the fact that you just need to grow them in your garden alongside other vegetables. This alone will repel most birds without you doing anything extra.

Cayenne pepper

Many spices have cayenne pepper as one of the ingredients. However, it has quite an aggressive smell on the olfactory cells making it sufficiently irritating to the birds. By making sure this pepper, whether in powder form or mixed with water then sprinkled all over the garden, the birds will surely have a reason to avoid your garden.
