ASPECTEK Bird Repellent Reflective Scare Tape,Wide-width 5cm x 60m Pest Control Dual-Sided Deterrent Tape for Pigeons, Grackles, Woodpeckers, Geese, Herons, Blackbirds & More

I had mixed results, but overall feel this is a great way to deter birds. The key is to really go dramatic with your strips. Hang them in ridiculously long ribbons from your trees or structures. They will flow in bright, reflective streamers that make a crinkling sound and sunlight will bounce off them. After the ribbons went up, there was an immediate reduction in birds that were hanging around our trees. After 2 months, I got too confident and thought maybe the birds were gone for good, so I took the strips down. Within a day, the trees were full of birds again, so I had to put them back up. If you want to keep away birds, this will need to be a permanent fixture (unfortunately). Only two complaints, neither that affected my rating: 1) Some birds will still hang around. This is nature, and we have to respect that. But I saw a very noticeable and almost instant decrease in the number of birds in our trees and patio area. 2) The sound these ribbons make is unsettling—both to birds and to humans. It's a very subtle crinkling noise when the ribbon drags and flicks against concrete. Allegedly birds don't like the sound and it keeps them away. But when I have the windows open at night, it also sounds like the faint noise of someone out on the patio. It took me some time to get used to, and even several months later, it still gives me the creeps. Logically, I know it's nothing, but it's hard to re-train your brain to ignore it when it sounds like someone is rummaging around outside your bedroom window. Keep that in mind when you're deciding where to place these. But if you want a safe and humane way to reduce birds in your yard, I HIGHLY recommend buying a roll of this!

We have a winner!!! I have been having problems with birds in my yard. My stupid HOA tore out miles of these low growing bushes because they made perfect homes for rats & other critters & the idiots replaced them with these bushes that grow Berries!! Now we have flocks of birds all over the place The American Robins are the worst they are messy noisy & have No fear of humans as a matter of fact if you try to scare them they actually puff us, stick out their chest & confront you. The Mockingbirds are the most annoying bird of all they scream all day & night waking me up! Now my yard has disgusting bird droppings everywhere this is a nightmare. I have tried many tactics but Now that I have put the Holographic tape around my yard No Birds. One or two have ventured on my grass but mostly it keeps they birds away! I also purchased the Glue and put it on the surrounding walls to my backyard & NO birds have landed! For my inconsiderate, lazy neighbors who walk their dogs on everybody's lawn even though our HOA has provided them with areas to walk their dogs & they provide some of the Best quality poop bags I've ever seen, yet they feel they have a right to let their dogs go to the bathroom on people's private property!! Unbelievable!! Then when their urine kills your lawn the HOA fines you.. I purchased the Yard Sentinel to take care of this problem. I just put it up today so we will see how it does. But this Bird Tape is Great Tips: I find the tape is more effective when the sun reflects off of it also some piece I left hanging to blow in the wind and some pieces I twisted a few times and tied both ends (making a bridge or the shape of a rainbow. I did this for the different effects and because the tape does make a slight noise when the wind blows it. I recommend this product!!

Welcome back to that 70s show!! If you have robins this tape provides a perfect dancing environment. You just need to add some music. Then you can watch the robins dance around your trees and eat your cherries. So no, this tape didn't work for my robins. The robins will land on a branch with the tape blowing in the wind and they don't even flinch. It is good quality tape and may work for other bird species but do your research first. I am confident that this will work for some birds. My robins are fearless! I made streamers by adding duct tape reinforcement to the end and using a hole punch to make a hole so that the tape would not tear in strong winds. So if you decide to use tape you may want to try this. This tape not only flashes but makes some "crinkling" sound when blowing in the wind, see video. I have actually gone the other way now and encourage birds to the garden. They eat my slugs and other bugs ;) Yes, they chow down on my cherries but I still get plenty for the family and that's a small price to pay to be slug free. Birds are an important piece of the puzzle for being organic and all natural so welcome them in.

I am not sure if it works or not...but it's not very practical for the type of yard I have...anyway, it is not faraway from a yard sentinel and a night eye repeller which were placed there about 4 days before and work very well... I decided to add the tape to discourage some young crows from coming on the fence...

I brought a new resin picnic table, and the stupid birds thought it was their personal toilet! Not a day went by without finding bird crap on the seats, the top and so forth. Then when I got the Holographic Bird tape, I snipped off about a 5-foot length, and hung it like a streamer from a pole in the center umbrella hole, that rises up about three feet above the table top. The streamer waves and flaps easily in the gentlest breeze, which appears to shoo the birds away. I think it's a combination of the reflective mylar finish along with a tinsel flapping sound from the tape blowing with the wind. In any case, since placing the streamer, not one bird has pooped there again! A few have landed on the table to examine it when the wind was calm (such as a few dang mocking birds!), but none have left their mark! So far, the bird tape works great and exceeds my expectations! UPDATE! After using this for the entire summer, still NO BIRD DROPPINGS! NONE! And so you understand, you don't have to use a lot of this stuff (like someone who hung dozens all over his trees. That's not necessary). I just have one short streamer hanging from a trellis pole, and birds stay away. The wind eventually snapped off the end, and left about 3ft length... but it still works!

So my Dad told me that this tape was some sort of miracle cure to prevent birds from eating crops in California where he lives. I put it up to stop the barn swallows from nesting in my deck rafters this summer. It took these birds about 3 hours to incorporate the tape into their nests in a variety of ingenious ways. Soon word spread and more barn swallows were trying to nest. Apparently barn swallow real estate hasn't been this hot since the great mudslide of 2003. I had to hire a band of goons to keep spraying water at the birds when they neared my house. Also, when it's windy (which is a lot where I live), the tape is insanely loud as it flaps around. This also doesn't do a darn thing to keep the swallows away. But here's what I learned! For about 4x the cost you can get 200 feet of deer fence which is easy to cut and staple, and after a few hours of hard work attaching the fencing to the underside of the decking, voila, nowhere for these little suckers to land and build! Now I need ideas of how to use bird tape since I have about 160 feet left...

I live in rural Vermont. This is the best bird, bear, and deer deterrent I’ve ever used. I have 12 blueberry bushes. I will never go back to bird netting. I have been using this for the past few years. I have found the best way to use it is to cut in 1 1/2 to 2 foot lengths and use clothes pins to hold onto the branches. I have never had a bird, bear, or deer problem since using this. It doesn’t take much. See the attached pictures.

Holographic bird tape is a must have for any fruit producer, as we all know that the birds seem to have the advantage, beating us to our fruit just as it begins to ripen. If you tie 1.5'-2' strips of this tape throughout your apple, pear, fig, blackberry, blueberry orchads, etc. just before they reach harvest time, then you may be able to buy yourself a little more time before the birds hit your fruit. How it works: The holographic pattern reflects sunlight as it flutters in the breeze, creating a shiny, moving object of which birds are unfamiliar, thus making them wary. The key is to not tie it in your orchards too soon, as the birds, especially crows, will eventually muster some courage and fly into the orchard to check it out. Once they learn that the scare tape cannot harm them, then they will begin eating your berries and pecking your apples and pears. Scare tape is truly a great product when used at the proper length and time.

家の前に７０坪ほどの菜園があって、一年を通して農作業を楽しんでいます。 四季を通して鳥たちには悩まされています。 なかでも冬─日当たりの良い、家に一番近い場所に７m×４畝にほうれん草、かき菜などを栽培するんですが ‥特に雪のある時なんかはヒヨドリがこれを狙って集中攻撃。 春に収穫しても“傷だらけ”で他人様には差し上げられず、自家用でも家内がハサミで傷を切り取って食べる始末‥。 水鉄砲で脅かしたり、窓を叩いたりしても‥効果ナシ。朝、私たちの起きる前なんかは“食べ放題”状態。 ─で、ここ数年やってるのが 写真① 「網で覆う」効果は１００パーセントなんだけど‥金額的、労力的に超大変！ そのうえ、春先の雪で潰れ、フレームもグチャグチャに‥ 今回、「防鳥ホログラムテープ」をダメモトの気分で試してみました。 写真② 太さ２mm位のビニール紐に、３０cmに切ったこのテープ上部を「両面接着テープ」を使って巻きつけ、さらに両端をホッチキスで留めました。 写真③ これを５０cm間隔につけて‥畝の両端に棒をたてて縛り付けました。 高さは菜類の高さスレスレに（菜が育ったら紐の高さを上げて行くつもり‥） さあて、「首尾は如何に？」と観察していました。 １日目─相変わらず飛来して来ていました。 ２日目─キラキラと良く光ります。何だか飛来数が少なくなってきている感じ。 ３日目─風にはためいてパタパタと音もします。ほとんど来なくなりました。 ４日目─全く現れなくなりました。 今日で１０日目になりますが、その後ヒヨドリはまったく寄りついていません。 この状態が続いてくれれば‥手軽だし、こんな嬉しいことはありません。 これまでのところ、私の見ている限りでは“効果抜群”というところです。 これからも観察していってみたいと思っています。 ★ 追記━2018年3月4日 取り付けて１か月経ちました。 ヒヨドリたちはその後も全く寄りついて来ません。 菜っ葉類は無傷で順調に生育しています。 ほうれん草は採り始めましたが“無傷”でとても美味しいです。 テープも一か所も切れるコトもなく、キラキラ・ハタハタとなびいています。 あと２０日ぐらいすると、かき菜の収穫に入ります。 こんな調子でいってくれるとしたら━大助かりです。

I have a problem with pigeons and tried this as a deterrant but to no avail. Not a fault of the tape just very persistent birds.

Ahuyenta a los pajaros de los frutales, colocando tiras en distintas ramas. Sirve tambien para ahuyentar a las palomas.

Schnell geliefert. Die Streifen machen ihre Arbeit, Ich hoffe das die Tiere sich nicht so schnell dar dran gewöhnen. An sonstigen alles gut.

This is such a good deal. I paid twice as much for 25 feet last year. So I'm getting 8 times more tape for half the price. Same quality as I got with the higher priced tape. If mounted incorrectly the tape can break in the wind. I find that having flat duct tape be a 'hinge' between this bird tape and whatever you're mounting too it will last all season.
