Proven Control Across Animal and Bird Species
CURB® is used across agriculture, horticulture, and forestry to deter both mammals and birds. The liquid formulation, liquid CURB® Crop Spray (MAPP 18643), disrupt animals’ sense of smell and taste, making treated areas unappealing to browse or disturb.
CURB® works by irritating the chemo-receptors in the nose and mouth, structures that are shared by both mammals and birds, making it broadly effective across species.
