Nixalite has introduced the Bird Buffer™, a machine that converts the liquid Fog Force into nano-particles which, when blown into the air at 90 mph, create an invisible haze that stays suspended in the air for about six hours. The machine is set on timers to dispense the haze periodically, but only when the birds are active. When used indoors, the Bird Buffer haze does not damage paint, an issue with fogging. The machine is produced by GBS, Inc. and marketed by Nixalite.
