Bird-Proof bird repellent compound from BirdX discourages birds from alighting and nesting for a year or more, even under the most extreme weather conditions. The chemical compound has a tacky, uncomfortable feeling that birds avoid—as people avoid walking on wet tar—it “feels” unpleasant; yet it’s harmless, odorless, nonpoisonous, and environmentally-friendly. Two formulations—gel and liquid—serve all applications and are easy to apply to any surface: Gel is applied in beads, using a standard 10" caulking gun, to any surface where birds roost or perch: window sills, air conditioners, roof perimeters, ledges, cornices, ornamental copings, rafters, and beams. Liquid is applied with a pressure sprayer or paint brush to hard-to-reach areas, trees, or shrubs. Bird-Proof sets semi-clear in minutes, so it is nearly invisible. It can be applied to any surface—concrete, metal, wood, cable, or electrical wire, and in any climate—extreme heat, cold, or rain. A thorough application protects property for approximately one year, at which point removal and reapplication is necessary. Bird-Proof is a quick, easy, long-term barrier to birds, allowing the property owner or manager to eliminate unsightly and unsanitary birds and their droppings, as well as the high and recurring costs in dollars and man-hours to clean and repair the mess. www.bird-x.com Procter & Gamble Professional recently announced the launch of its Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Professional Pack.

The process is fully enclosed and filtered, so that the glass, aluminum, and harmful vapors are contained. When full, the drums are picked up and transported to an EPA-permitted lamp recycling facility where the contents are separated, treated, and ultimately reused. www.aircycle.com The Kimberly-Clark Professional JRT Electronic Coreless bath tissue dispenser automatically dispenses toilet paper when users place their hands under it.
