I have a problem with owls, and have lost many cats, a rooster and even a goose to owls. Do you think this will help protect my cats?

I'm not sure, it does not work for raccoons or possum's, but before I put them up I did have Owls, but they never bothered my chickens or ducks, I have not heard them at night either, so it may work to scare them away. all I can say is buy one and try it. Anything is better than not trying.

No, not at all. It will look a little spooky to them at first, but after a couple of days they will go in and out as usual.Look for the one inch mesh, it will not just prevent birds, it will also prevent possum and raccoon as well.

It might help, I would get a collar for each one of the cats. This helped my 2 that would fight with each other. Good luck!

We have only used it for deer and it does not stop deer. I do not think it will help with owls but I have not had any experience with owls so cannot be sure. AW HSB

Once they try landing where it is placed they won't come back. It also seems as though the other pigeons "learn" to stay away. About 2 years ago I placed it on an eave in front of my son's room where their noises bothered him during naps and they have not returned since. I did not need to reapply it.Don't bother with the fake owls. Pigeons were sitting next to them after a week.

I think it could have the capacity to scare off any bird, for a short period of time. Once they get used to it, it's a bit less effective.

Cardinals can and do go on it. It does not prevent doves, but they are ground feeders, generally, so they just eat the leftovers off the ground at our house. It works great -- no more squirrels.

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.

Don't know about mice because I have a cat, but it certainly repels bugs. Get a sweet cat and your mice problems are over.

I would have to say no it does not! I have 3 of these owls hanging around my back yard and the birds still come to my feeders even the doves. I purchased these thinking they would keep the squirrels out the pecan trees, but that is not happening either. Hope this helps you!!

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.

Depends on the cat I suppose...if you have a leaper, probably not. You might be able to use this to protect your Christmas tree from feline depredation, but I still would be careful not to use tinsel or glass ornaments, just in case.

It doesn't affect the birds...I use minds to warn off rabbits and squirrels...the birds still come within the area where the boxes covers...

The Easy Gardener Birdblock netting should work for your FreeRange chickens or any other bird, smaller than a hawk I would think, as long as you have enough support to hold the fence, it's strength should hold a chicken at bay with ease. It could might have problems with large owls or hawks but I have not encountered either of those to this point. I have had a few (3) two foot long copperhead snakes that didn't make it through the netting on different occasions though. I would trust it to do the job for you I would think.

It helps to have a second person to help, either holding your cat or prepping the claw covers. My cats don't mind the process, but wrapping them in a blanket to protect you might help.

It has been sturdy enough to keep out squirrels. As for a cat, it will depend on how firmly it is fixed into its frame. If the fit is strong, it will take a fierce and tough cat to displace!

I can't answer this question. We live in a farming area where the land is fairly flat and most of the habitat for owls and other animals have been destroyed....that's why we wanted to put some nesting boxes up. Good luck and sorry I couldn't answer your question!!
