Abstract:
A method of covering vegetation against bird, insect or animal intrusion comprising the steps of:preparing a non-toxic liquid chemical composition adapted to provide elongated filaments so as to provide an airborne netting of open mesh having the characteristic of light weight for floating and disposition over a target area of vegetation by gravitational force;said step of preparing liquid chemical composition includes the step of including a low contact adhesive agent permitting a clinging contact with the target area of vegetation and further the step of including a coloring agent to visibly mimic the color of natural vegetation;discharging of said prepared liquid chemical composition under pressure from a pressurized hand-held applicator in long, continuous filaments and in the direction of the target area of vegetation whereby said discharged liquid chemical composition settles in contacting engagement with the target area of vegetation;allowing said discharged liquid chemical composition to cure into a hardened array of open-mesh filaments clinging to the target area of vegetation;said step of discharging the liquid chemical composition includes the step of creating the airborne netting by:a. forcing the liquid chemical composition through spinnerets in a spray device, orb. blowing nitrogen across the end of a supply pipe with the liquid chemical composition oozing into a jet stream;said preparing step includes the step of selecting the liquid chemical composition from the following:a. thermoplastic materials, orb. cellulose acetate.
