Non toxic, Natural Woodpecker Deterrent Paint and Stain Additive

Woodpecker Deterrent Paint & Stain Additive – 3 oz Bottle

All-natural. Non-toxic. Designed to stop woodpecker damage before it starts.
Mix into one gallon of exterior paint or stain

If you're dealing with repeated woodpecker damage—or want to protect a vulnerable surface before the birds move in—this product offers a safe, effective, and natural solution. The Birds Gotta Go™ Woodpecker Paint & Stain Additive transforms your regular exterior coating into a time-release repellent system that deters pecking birds without causing them harm.

What it is

This additive is formulated from 100% plant-based ingredients, using minimum-risk oils and botanical extracts. It contains no toxic chemicals and is completely safe for people, pets, wildlife, and the environment. Designed to mix with both oil- and water-based exterior paints and stains, it does not alter the appearance of your finish and is non-oxidizing—making it ideal for residential homes, commercial buildings, and even historic structures.

Once mixed into the paint or stain and applied to a surface, the additive lies dormant until it's activated by pecking. The motion of a bird striking the surface releases natural taste and odor compounds embedded in the coating, effectively discouraging further attacks. This time-release action makes the additive both subtle and long-lasting.

Directions for use

1. 1. Add one full 3 oz bottle to one gallon of exterior paint or stain.
2. 2. Allow space in the container for mixing. Stir thoroughly and stir occasionally during application to maintain even dispersion.
3. 3. Apply according to the instructions on your paint or stain label.
4. 4. Two or more coats may be required depending on surface condition, climate, and the type of coating used.
5. 5. Always test in an inconspicuous area with two coats (allowing to dry between coats) to ensure you’re satisfied with the final finish.

Safety information

• - Always wear gloves and eye protection during mixing and application.
• - Not for interior use.
• - Store additive in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.

Best practice: combine with other deterrents

While this product provides excellent protection, woodpeckers are known to be persistent and territorial. For optimal long-term results, combine the additive with visual and audio deterrents, especially in high-activity areas. Recommended tools include:

• - Woodpecker decoys or holographic owl figures
• - Mylar bird scare tape or reflective flash tape
• - Woodpecker distress sound CDs

These tools help create the impression of occupied territory, further reducing the chances of future damage.

A practical and humane solution

There’s no single magic solution when it comes to bird control. But this additive gives your paint or stain a new level of defense—discreet, long-lasting, and humane. Whether you’re protecting your home, business, or historic property, you can count on Birds Gotta Go to help you deter woodpeckers the smart way—without harming them.
