Will this work against birds resting in a tall tree above my driveway? Can it be pointed out to the street from the top of the garage?

I had pigeons on my roof. It didn't deter them whatsoever. The pigeons crapped all over it so I returned it and got my refund.

It will work, birds will be scared away from the sound and light coming from the box. You need to leave it on the sound mode and in the area that has the most bird problem.

If you pitch it low to the ground and keep the peak angle low, it should work well. Though it will be close quarters, this should keep even a sideways rain off you... for the most part.

I have the birdhouse at the top of a tall pole, so squirrels can't get to it. I do have another house in a tree and the squirrels have never messed with it.

These work on ledges of small spaces. Don't think they will work on a roof top where seagulls landing because they will just go around it unless you install the whole roof with them. I would try some kind of a noise mechanism or one of those artifical predatory birds like an eagle....

Well, I have it about 20 ft. high in a tree, so bugs aren't a problem. However, it does attract bugs, so I wouldn't recommend mounting it where that would be a problem for you.

It does not come with a hanger so you would have to add something to hang it with. The instructions say to hang the house at least 6 feet high so no, I wouldn't set it on a patio. Birds won't nest in an area where they don't feel safe from predators.

I believe they said 10 - 12 ft above the ground facing, south, such as on a tree. But it seems to be catch as catch can as to whether it will attract any bats.

If your feeding birds with it, then I'm sure raccoons will try to get it. I have them here in the Pacific Northwest, and they DON"T get into them.....Just keep it up high and mount it on a side of a building. Something slick on the sides. THEY ARE A GREAT DEAL FOR THE MONEY,BOUGHT 4 OF THEM....

I used it for my dog pen. I bought a grounding rod, insultors and the wire and 3D batteries. The charger is sold by itself. Rain does not stop it from working. For the birds, it depends how they land or touch the wire. If they touch the ground and wire it could kill them, but just the wire itself they are ok (birds land on high voltage power lines all the time, but they are not grounded, so they are ok). Best bet is ask Havahart.

have mine on my roof, but if I remember right they are about 3 inches to 4 inches apart at the tip. They are rigid enough to discourage cats and would work well on top of a fence.

Mine is mounted about 12 feet up, and it has more than enough sensitivity to detect cars and even people in the driveway below. And I even have the sensitivity turned way down to prevent detecting tree motion due to wind.

I have the sensor nailed to a tree about three feet off the ground. It is very sensitive. I think installed at an angle above the garage would work. The receiver in the house works very well and beeps three times everytime something passes the sensor, could be a car, animal, or garbage man. Do not put the receiver near metal like a microwave it seems to block the radio waves. Also when the transmitter is rained on sometimes you get false readings. I put a plastic shroud over the top made from a yogurt container. Overall I am very pleased with the product and for the price it is a very good value. I highly recommend this product.

It works best where there is wind. When it moves it makes noise and shines light which scares away birds.

I have mine mounted up above my shed door; I don't think anything as small as a raccoon would set it off; and even if it did it isn't bright enough to scare them away if that is the goal. Haven't gone through a winter yet with mine, but I think it would be difficult to adjust. If you look at the picture, you'll see three re-enforcement bends where the bracket is. You could could certainly mount it on something angled though, that would be an easy fix.

No. It's not that strong. We use it over the top of fruit trees to keep the birds away! But, a determined chicken? Never!

The spray is adjustable, but it would not be strong enough to spray at birds

I attached mine to a pole using wire ties. If I were you I would attach it to a fence post. I am using mine to keep birds off my sailboat, not sure how well it work, but I think it has some affect on keeping birds away.
