Any success with scaring off hawks?

Have only had item for one season, however can confirm before item we had seen Hawks in the area. After have not SEEN any but can't say it was due to the item or not. Hope this helps. For the money it certainly can't hurt to try.

Yes it does. I have had some of the same problems (I live in the woods) with a wide variety of birds. Since placing the hawk and an owl I have no more issues.

I was using these for bow hunting so I kept the mesh out of one window and kept everything else closed. You can either unzip the larger window section or just the little section with the mesh open, with or without the mesh. Last year I had several deer come within feet and the only time I spooked them was when I had two windows open and too much light was coming in. When gun season came around they didn't know I was there... they didn't have a chance to get close enough.

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.

squirrels and rabbits should. be in fear if you have a decent aim. pigeons hit the barnfloor as fast as gravity can pull them. no holes in the roof if you miss. raccoons and Skunks will be a problem. Opossums ack like you killed them I'm not sure about cats would definitely make them think seriously about digging in the flower beds. some of those nasty old Toms can take a pretty good beating and come back for more. it is far quieter than. a .22 with suppressor. neighbors woun't know you are shotting in town should work well for Crow reduction. Happy Hunting.

It's hard to say, but I'd give it a try. Be sure to move it to different locations every few days. Birds are smart and will eventually catch on that it's a decoy. Good luck!

Effective enough for scaring birds and keeping them from messing on our deck... but not sure about your boat. We used the sizeable hole on the bottom to slide it onto a piece of pvc pipe as far up as it would go. Winds have never toppled it... i think this method 'could' possibly work on your boat.

There are several ways to keep animals away from your garden. If your referring to birds, try running a string tied on wood stakes through your garden and tying pieces of rags along the run. As the wind blows the rags will wave scaring off the birds, a rubber snake or plastic owl ornament may also work. As for deer and rabbits you can go to your local hardware store and purchase some chicken wire and stake it around your garden. Hope this helped a little!

I installed two owl decoys to keep doves away from our swim pool. They had no effect. I installed one red tailed hawk decoy, and problem solved. As our smart grandson explained, since owls can see at night, thats when they do their hunting. Therefore, rodents etc. are scared of owls, but doves are not. Red tailed hawks hunt birds (a red tailed hawk lives on a golf course I play often, and I have seen the hawk chasing birds) so I think this is why the hawk was a deterrent, but the owls were not.

Static cling. They last for a "season" (migrating birds are most likely to get in trouble with unfamiliar windows than your "regulars". I preplace mine each fall. And leave them for a year. They really help. If you have hawks, there will still be the infrequent incident as birds scatter quickly from the hawk, but they help in most "dangerous" conditions.

No, I use it to cover a fenced in chicken run. It has served the purpose of keeping the hawks from getting them, however, I would have like the netting itself to be smaller because any other type of bird just flies right through.

I don't know about Bears but it works pretty good for hawks and hoot owls. I have found that the C9 clear Christmas lights hanging in the chicken pen on a timer to come on at dark works better than anything. make sure you have extra fuses for the lights. and wrap the cord where you plug the lights in to make it water tight if it rains. It is bright enough to keep the unwanted out and not upset the chickens. I have added some red Christmas lights to go with the solar lights and nothing is getting my chickens now. Don't know it any of this helps but the solar lights are worth the money. The electric strobe lights work too, but you have to make a water proof box to put them in.

It may sting/scare them a bit, but they'll probably come back. You would have to be pretty close if you want to do more harm. Use a more powerful airsoft gun if that's what you're after (i.e. CO2 or battery powered).

I bought mine for pigeons and it does not work very well. and I found one of my dogs with a squirrel in its mouth the other day, so not sure if it will scare them away.

Chris, Yes. In fact we've had really good results using it on woodpeckers. The key is isolating the target zone and being close enough with the mount. That means making sure you mount it within 15 feet of the problematic area where they're pecking or landing.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

I have them to protect my chickens. I have had no problems with critters. It's suggested you put the predator at the level shown on the instructions for the particular critters size. The Predadtor was recommended to me by a friend who uses them to protect goats from coyotes. He swears by it. He has 4. Me, all I can say is no problems with the possum or raccoon who got 3 of my chickens BEFORE the Predator. It has blinking red lights. I plan on buying a few more. They work up to a clear distance of 1/2 mile. I'd get them again. It's worth the try
