Do these lights ward off coyotes?

Dear David,I don't know if they do or not. I bought mine to protect my tomatoes and peppers from deer. As I said in my Amazon Review it seemed to work at first, but then the deer started chomping my plants. My opinion is that they would be ineffective against coyotes. They are very smart and learn quickly.

I assume that they will. Since, I have not had a problem with coyotes I cannot be sure.

Not sure. I'm guessing a coon or possibly a weasal has killed two of our hens. Foot prints in the snow were small. First bird was killed before we got the lights. Second bird was killed about two weeks after I installed the lights.

It says they do, and we have had none visit since getting these. We have 5 all over the yard at different eye levels.

Yes, they work very well to keep doves away. I was sitting on my covered porch and saw a dove fly in and it was looking for a place to land but couldn't because of the bird spikes. It just hovered around a few seconds and then flew off. :)

I am not sure about Coyotes but it works well for deer and keep in mind that very domesticated wild animals in heavily populated areas are much harder to deter than animals in the wild that have not become accustomed to human noise and activities. The strobe helps a lot at night because it startles them more along with the noise. I have 3 used with batteries and only at night and 2 on AC power that are motion activated 24/7 and have had very good luck with keeping my garden from being ruined by deer.

I have also had problems with owls, but I dont think this light will help. I do think it has helped with foxes. My suggestion for the owls though is to cover your run with chicken wire, or netting. Do you lock up your chickens and geese at night? I also moved my coop and run towards the corner of my yard where I have lots of tree cover and that has seemed to "hide" them better from hawks and owls, both of which have taken my chickens.

The deer are not deterred at all by the presence of the coyote. This may be because it no longer looks like a coyote having lost all of its paint after one season and most of the artificial fur in the tail has fallen out leaving the beast look like it is suffering from mange, hardly a scary sight.

Bon: Haven't seen a single coyote since we put them up on our patio! They do work well for skunks and raccoons though.

I have not purchased this ultra sonic device and I have no idea why I keep receiving questions on this product. I purchased 18 Nite Guard Solar Predator Control Lights which are placed in a large circle around our house. We had a problem with coyotes coming near the house between dusk and dawn, which caused the dogs to start barking, waking us up, etc. Since installing these flashing red lights over 2 years ago, we have not had any coyotes near the house at night. We also have bobcats, but to my knowledge, the bobcats have not come near the house so I do not know if the lights are a bobcat deterrent. We have 5 dogs (ranging from a toy Yorkie to a 72 lb. greyhound), 3 cats and we live in a rural area with all kinds of wildlife. Personally, I would not rely on any device, or even our 8' high fence, to protect our animals from bobcats or coyotes. If the animals are outside, even inside the 8' ft high fence, a human is always with them. I saw the other response of the scarecrow sprinkler and I plan on buying several of these sprinklers to scare away bunnies, etc. once I finish my green house and new vegetable beds, but I doubt a sprinkler will stop a hungry bobcat or coyote from jumping a 4' fence.

I have two predators and they blink with different patterns. So far no damage from deer and rabbits. Try restarting by removing battery and replacing.

Yes they do. I agree with John as the length of time they last. I have 3 Pendent lights and they are not always on but usually only lasts 3-4 months. It is for the looks only, not for the way they work.

They will be bright enough. Some people experience a humming sound with them, but I haven't had that problem. The biggest problem is that it's difficult, at times, to connect to the lights. This is particularly bothersome when you're trying to turn them off at night.

I would think if it keeps cats away, (very well I might add), it would keep rabbits away. Not Positive but it is logical.You may have to turn up to max output which is a lot because my neighbors complained it woke them up, so I turned it down a bit.

They are not black out LED, but I have not found they spook deer. Great camera

The device is "on" in the daytime but I wouldn't imagine that it would be effective for deterring animals as they could visually see that it isn't a predator.

No. 1st night in service I flipped on the outdoor flood light and discovered 4 Blacktail deer munching grass 20' away from this device. They had not been exposed to this before. It's a bit irritating blinking all night. I wonder if it would be more effective if it had a motion detector on off function, like most solar LED security lights.

They work well for chipmunks and squirrels and with modification work great to keep away deer and prowlers: https://youtu.be/MqUv3dzBdN8

I don't think so. I've installed some outside but under cover. I love the lights but get the extra long lasting batteries. They do light up really well.

The smell becomes very bad once the bag starts to have lots of flies inside. To my experience it does not attract cats or dogs. I don't know if it will with coyotes but I doubt. These bags are really a good invention and they work quite well.
