I think it will if you can get it close enough. I use it for ducks invading my pool and crapping everywhere around it. I ALSO HAVE A FAKE ALLIGATOR in the pool so between the two>>>no ducks> The strobe is pretty bright in the night.

I have one of these units on my roof and I still, occasionally see WoodPeckers around my house. That said, I have noted very little, if any Pecker damage in my foam roof since rollout of the device. Its guaranteed! Keep your receipt and box and TRY it! I called the seller and he was very helpful and cordial and told me to try it for a year and if it didn't work, he'd gladly give me a refund. So far, the Ravens have stayed away from the devices using the ultrasonic noise pattern. The detector on the house is in audible and that seems to work against everything else, except pigeons. Only flying lead gets the message across to them -or hawks. I have one of these units on my roof and I still, occasionally see WoodPeckers around my house.

We were trying to scare the Canadian geese away. It did not work for those. Don't know about turkey we don't have a problem with those.

that's all to it. if the unit is not defective it should make an audible beep every minute or so.time will tell if it really gets rid of creatures.

dont really know but i am sure it might help some but only in any enclosed area like a garage, small home. there are systems that are made for the outside of a home or garage. that kind helps with racoons, possums, mice, deer, rabbits & some birds & other critters, good lUCK !!!

It worked on my chicken and deer problem. I would expect it to work on skunks. If you have a specific area to defend it should be effective.

It will slow them down, or simply put some Vaseline on it, that will discourage them from future attempts, stopped out squirrels from going out on it

I don't think it will work with birds. I bought three units to deter racoons which were destroying my garden beds which had fabric/ mulch. They didn't do the job and I wound up using a haveaheart trap. That worked!! 13 racoons last year.

I got one to deter deer which I am happy to say it seems to work. Another was placed to deter armadillos. I'm not real sure how it has affected them. They really did a number on flower beds before I got it set up. I'm not sure about rats and mice. If they are on the list for these give them a shot. Make sure that you set them up correctly. You may also have to set them up tilted down toward the ground and not on the ground. We also have neighborhood cats in our yard unaffected by this machine.

The device is "on" in the daytime but I wouldn't imagine that it would be effective for deterring animals as they could visually see that it isn't a predator.

Oh yes !! It will even detect squirrels and other wildlife, so placement of the sensing unit is important or you'll get a number of false alarms. I should also say I live in a very rural area, so wildlife may not be a problem for most people.

I bought it to scare squirrels from our Mango trees. It did not work for squirrels at all. Squirrels would sit right in front of it with one of my mangos. I would click the remote to sound the alarm and the squirrels just kept chomping..., no effect at all. Also, device kept sounding off when a little wind made some leaves move (even on least sensative setting). It absolutely does not work on squirrels. I cannot say it will work on birds but, based on how well it works on squirrels, I have my doubts.

I have also had problems with owls, but I dont think this light will help. I do think it has helped with foxes. My suggestion for the owls though is to cover your run with chicken wire, or netting. Do you lock up your chickens and geese at night? I also moved my coop and run towards the corner of my yard where I have lots of tree cover and that has seemed to "hide" them better from hawks and owls, both of which have taken my chickens.

Sorry, I can't help you. Since the motion detector is ultrasonic, we can't hear it. Not sure if it is keeping the deer away or not. We are in the process of replacing the batteries this weekend and are hoping for the best. The deer have thus far out smarted just about everything we do to keep them away. Good luck.

the sound would scare it away...but if u just want to zap something maybe ants

Absolutely, this keeps deer out of our yard. Be careful with neighbors pets or your own pets This works great Crank it up on settings initially and use A/C power cord It will keep squirrels away from feeder as well

I doube it will work. I used it to scare rabbits and squirrels from the yard. It works for a couple of days, then they came back. As long as they have a nest nearby, they will get used to the smell in a few days.

Sorry, but I don't know about woodpeckers as we don't have a problem with them. It seems to help with birds eating our fruit, but you have to move the balloons occasionally as the birds get used to them.
