Has this worked at all for Blue Heron? They are eating all my koi!!!

I got this for crows - I have no herons around - and the crows have gotten used to the device so no longer a deterrent.

I purchased the hawk to keep birds out of our garden. It worked well. I am hoping over the winter that it will keep the crows/birds off of our winter pool cover.

I am not sure about the blue heron. I've never seen those types in my area. However, the Hawk Decoy has made an amazing difference in bird activity in my backyard. More specifically, I placed the decoy on my deck, and it has stopped the birds from perching and releasing droplets on the deck. I also use an owl decoy under the deck and it has prevented the birds from building nests under the deck. The decoys work very well. I've had them for 6 months.

yes, but will warn you, my Koi hated this food and pretty much refused to eat it.

I'm using it at my Koi pond and it works very well. It hit freezing yesterday morning and it worked fine. I will stop feeding soon as the water temp is in the 40's F. If you want to use it in below freezing temps I would recommend putting Lithium AA batteries in it. It's a great feeder.

I think this would kill any insect, but it is so potent it shouldn't be used it on anything that produces food. That means birds could also be harmed. The label even has a cautionary statement to not use around ponds, streams etc. - all waterways where fish & other amphibious creatures inhabit. That is why I've used it twice in five years & only on our house plants.

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.

Dan, I purchased this for my husband and he's had a guppy in it for nearly a year. The filter is strong and it can suck the guppy to it. The fish don't get sucked INTO it, they get pulled to the side of the plastic area at the top where there is suction. However, my husband said the guppy can get away without a problem and that the guppy actually seems to enjoy snuggling to the filter (as in he PURSUES it). He has used a piece of black sponge foam to reduce the suction of the filter, but the guppy still likes the sucking of the filter. Bottom line is that we have had this piece for 10 months and my husband is very satisfied with it. He only speaks positively of it, and he's pretty picky.

Its certainly worth a try. Its all natural so it wont hurt your fish. Good luck!

I love melafix. I have Koi and Goldfish that live outside in a 130 gal pond. I use it with pimafix to get rid of fungus which is what yours might be. You can use them both to make sure to wipe out everything. Follow directions to the letter. Also the water will get foamy which is normal and don't treat more than 7 days max. Do a 25% water change at end of treatment.

We have an abundance of Blue Jays. To our knowledge - they do not use the Brome Feeder. They do delight in the seeds that fall underneath the feeder and have spread the word. The largest bird to use our feeder is the gorgeous Cardinal. We have 3-4 of them and they all access our Brome feeder. initially, that was not the case. My husband adjusted the feeder (according to the directions that came with the feeder). It made a huge difference. Perhaps, the same adjustment would work for the Blue Jay-- which is a titch larger than the Cardinal. We have been very pleased with the many birds that are now visiting us. One or two squirrels have tried to raid the feeder to no avail. Amazing! We highly recommend this feeder. It is really neat to see so many beautiful birds in our yard once again.

Veronica, we have had the same results. Very disappointing. We have had a couple of Ladderback Woodpeckers occasionally feed at it, but it is rare to see any feeding. We even tried two different kinds of feed/paste and it just doesn't work.

I don't know. I bought it for Herons. I don't know if racoons are afraid of water.

yes It will kill them really well. They eat it and it don't kill them right away. They take it back to their nest. What they walk through it tracked back to nests to kill off the population. They crawl out looking for water (I guess since they turned up dead all around water sources) and then they die. The roaches not effected will eat the dead roaches and die too. (you won't have to leave dead roaches out...just good to know for ones that die inside walls) It is worth buying. Only issue I had Lynn was that I got 3 tubes when they advertised 4...but I wasn't even upset enough about it to bother contacting the seller. I was blown away with this product. yes It will kill them really well. They eat it and it don't kill them right away. They take it back to their nest.

Can't imagine how. Have never seen the birds eat the stuff - and they are pretty fussy eaters. We don't put it in the bird feeders of course. But to be sure, go to the Audubon site and ask. I'm sure they will know.

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!

I did not have any luck with the assassins. They were very small and kept going down in the rock. However, the loaches cleaned my 55 g in a matter of weeks.

I believe so...!! I have pigeons in my boat house so I just shoot them as far as my pool I have ducks that like to swim and crap in the pool. This is my second untlasonic unit. My first one was a little less expensive and seemed to work pretty good but think lightening took it out. I have only caught ducks near the pool a couple of time with this unit. When they set it off they flew when I was actually there to see it go off. Don't mind shooting ducks either but the law don't like that, so I put in a fake gator in the pool last week. Not a duck yet..!! Lotzzz of gators in southern Louisiana, ducks know what they look like..!! That's a good thing.

This has not worked for me. I have used it around my bird feeders and around my (Koi) pond but I have not found it has done a thing. I tried both the spray and the granules but neither was effective.
