Dispensing a bird repellant

Abstract

A bird repellant dispensing process and system is disclosed. An exemplary embodiment pressurizes a bird repellant solution at a pressure of at least 85 psi, the bird repellant solution comprising Methyl Anthranilate oil and a propellant, and wherein the Methyl Anthranilate oil and a liquid portion of the propellant is mixed when pressurized. The a bird repellant solution is dispensed as a vapor haze from an aerosol nozzle directed towards a region of space frequented by birds, wherein the aerosol nozzle is operable to produce from the bird repellant solution a vapor haze defined by an average particle size less than about 10 microns upon activation of the aerosol nozzle.

1  A bird repellant method comprising:
 directing an aerosol nozzle towards a region of space frequented by birds; and   dispensing a bird repellant solution through the aerosol nozzle into the region of space frequented by birds, the bird repellant solution comprising about 10% by weight Methyl Anthranilate oil and about 90% by weight of at least one of an isobutane and a propellant, the Methyl Anthranilate oil comprising about 40% Methyl Anthranilate (MA) and about 60% oil, and wherein the Methyl Anthranilate oil and a liquid portion of the propellant is mixed when pressurized at a pressure of at least 85 psi,   wherein the aerosol nozzle is operable to produce from the bird repellant solution a vapor haze defined by an average particle size less than about 10 microns upon activation of the aerosol nozzle.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 pressurizing a chamber coupled to a first opening to a tube and having a vapor tap opening; and   pre-mixing the vapor haze with a liquid combination of the Methyl Anthranilate oil and the liquid portion of the propellant in response to pressurizing the chamber, thereby causing the particle size of the vapor haze released through the aerosol nozzle to have the average particle size of less than 10 microns.   
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the pressure in the pressurized chamber cause a portion of the propellant to liquefy such that the MA and the oil mixes with the propellant liquid portion, and where a portion of the propellant is a gas residing in the chamber. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the Methyl Anthranilate oil is a mixture of about 41% active Methyl Anthranilate (MA) and about 59% of an oil compound. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the oil compound is one of mineral or soy oil. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the mixture of MA and mineral oil or soy oil, and the propellant liquid portion mixes again with the propellant gas portion such that the vapor haze is produced by the vapor tap away from a bottom of the chamber while being released. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a plunger chamber is coupled at a first opening of a tube and having a vapor tap opening, further comprising:
 pressurizing the plunger chamber to cause the vapor haze to be mixed with the liquid combination of the Methyl Anthranilate oil and the propellant liquid portion that is received from the tube, thereby causing the aerosol nozzle to release the vapor haze defined by an average particle size of less than 10 microns.   
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the mixture of the Methyl Anthranilate oil and the propellant liquid portion communicate up the tube to mix again with a gas portion of the propellant. 
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the propellant is at least one of isobutene and propane, and the Methyl Anthranilate oil and the at least one of isobutene and propane propellant mix together when pressurized at approximately 95 psi causing the particle size of the vapor haze released through the aerosol nozzle to have an average particle size of about less than 5 microns. 
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dispersed vapor haze is defined by the average particle size less than about 10 microns, and wherein the dispersed vapor haze is configured to be inhaled by a flying bird deeply into its nasal passage. 
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dispersed vapor haze is invisible to a bird flying through the dispersed vapor haze. 
   
   
       12 . A bird repellant method comprising:
 pressurizing a bird repellant solution at a pressure of at least 85 psi, the bird repellant solution comprising Methyl Anthranilate oil and a propellant, and wherein the Methyl Anthranilate oil and a liquid portion of the propellant is mixed when pressurized; and   dispensing a bird repellant solution as a vapor haze from an aerosol nozzle directed towards a region of space frequented by birds,   wherein the aerosol nozzle is operable to produce from the bird repellant solution a vapor haze defined by an average particle size less than about 10 microns upon activation of the aerosol nozzle.   
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the dispersed vapor haze is invisible to a bird flying through the dispersed vapor haze. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the bird repellant solution comprises about 10% by weight Methyl Anthranilate oil and about 90% by weight of a propellant. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the Methyl Anthranilate oil comprises about 40% Methyl Anthranilate (MA) and about 60% oil. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the bird repellant solution comprises about 20% Methyl Anthranilate (MA).
