Anybody have any luck with these in use against Canadian geese that mess up our rowing club docks?

I have no idea about the effect on geese. I had no luck at all attempting to deter crows with them.

I can't answer about geese. However, we have one in our oak tree by our driveway, and it seems to have helped with the grackles and other birds that were using my husband's truck as a target. The windshield is staying clean as well as the hood and doors. Camper top still gets some occasionally. The truck was once an embarrassment to be seen in.

Since a seagull is a bird I don't see why these will not work. These spikes are meant to make it uncomfortable for birds to land on spots. I have had these on the roof of a big comercial building now for a few years and it did take a few weeks to get the birds to stop landing on it. The only thing is make sure that you use a really good grade of Silicon to fasten these to the roof like a marine grade or better rating. Don't be disappointed if they don't stop landing there right away it will take some time to break the habit of landing there.

We use the Sevylors for fishing only and take two dogs (large, with long nails), also. I am the wild fisherperson and constantly attach barbed hooks to the sides of the boat unintentionally. With gear all over the floor of the boat, as well, it has held up remarkably for the 20 or so years that we have had it. We take it through log bottoms, etc. with no problems. It's tough!

I have not. I wash them twice a month, the only thing that did happen was the barrelcoming off the stick but I didnt mind putting some duck tape

They are very effective to protect from deer damage and should work for geese. Heavy gauge plastic stands up well to the elements.

I cannot recommend these in any way, I'm afraid. Last time I got them, they were great. This time they stink to high heaven are brownish and turning more so. My birds, who love cuttlebones will not touch them with a ten foot perch!!!There are a lot of them, more than 50 probably and a LOT of broken ones and pieces.

I have a fiberglass jon boat and they did not work on mine. They tend to pop off the boat seats with a sudden movement (as in when you jerk the rod to catch a fish). I never (can't) use the ones I bought. Bill

I am sorry but I have no idea. I use them for handling wildlife at Lindsay Hospital. Sorry. I do know a golden eagle cannot bite through them.

I did use them on one 5k row (stationary rower) and they worked ok. There is not any rotation of the hand or sustained weight pulling against them and it was fine. I would still go with a different option for the price tag. I saw a pair of these on eBay recently starting at $0.99 bid and asked the seller what they thought. He had a very negative opinion as well. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Beat them out with a punch or any tool. Maybe try drilling a hole through the plastic. They are a pain!

Not herons, but they kept geese away. You just have to move them around so the birds don't get used to them.

I actually used them for freshwater sturgeon. I had fairly good success with them.

I put two of these in the hatches of my 30 foot sailboat last summer. They have worked quite well for the season they have been installed. They did see quite a bit of rough weather and seawater without leaking or incident. I don

Works great for dungeness and red rock crabs. That is all I have tried for.

I put my EZ Glide pads on the two bunks that I thought supported the lions share of the boat's weight....the 2 center ones. They work great too....like having rollers instead of bunks

Hello. We currently use these cradles for our OC-1 canoes. Have not had any problems with them. I like them better than the old aluminum "v" rack we used before.

MAYBE if you glued them on but I still doubt it. Mine popped off from the pressure of ice (I assume the chickens didn't rip them off). You be best off rigging a holding tank with some sort of float valve that shuts off the flow. (Think toilet tank)
