Does it repel beneficial insects, hummingbirds, or other birds?

I don't think so. I feed birds and squirrels and they don't seem to mind. The bunnies don't avoide the area. Neither do fireflies. I think the effects of the garlic are unique to mosquitoes. It's a heavy odor during application, but within 60 minutes you can't smell it. I apply it to everything. I mean house, shed, deck, chairs, under the deck, the entire lawn and shrubbery, veggie garden, everything. Get a decent 2 gallon sprayer and have fun!

We have a bird bath inside the protected area and it is still used. I can not speak for hummingbirds since we haven't noticed them here even before we started spraying. It does claim to keep field mice and rabbits away, though I have not tested that either.

I don't know about birds, never noticed. It does keep larger animals, such as rabbits out of my garden. Does not appear to work on deer. I can say that when I remove it after growing season there are bird droppings on my car and when it is out the bird droppings are not there on the car.

I have two of these and will be purchasing a third. I have no problems with many birds using it. I do empty, clean, and refill it every 3-4 days when I do the same for my hummingbird feeders (hummers really want fresh homemade nectar). All types of birds would rather have fresh water when possible.

It works perfectly for a filled hummingbird feeder even if it attracts woodpeckers which mine occasionally does. This is very strong and durable. I've been using mine for years.

yes it does. it works pretty good as a bug repellent. I use it for my neighbors dog, I dilute one part SSS with water and spray it on him n it helps keep the mosquitoes away. my neighbor uses it too to keep them off him. I also use it on my cats to help kill fleas. its a great product! I only dilute it for pets. hope this helps.

No. It's basically a sticky ball that looks like an Apple to lure the bugs. I had no issues with birds.

Yes, however, this will also kill any beneficial insects (that have exoskeletons) that come in contact with it.

Actually doesnt work at all with fleas nor mosquitoes and basically flying objects. For these a recommend another type of repellent or device. It works perfect for roaches,mice,bugs,spiders. Really effective.

It does not repel Geckos. In fact other than stirring some of the rodents around, it does not repel any rodents and is more of a gimmick.

I'd call it more of a deterrent. The birds find it uncomfortable. Works better against smaller birds. I've seen some pretty big woodpeckers - don't know if they'd even notice it!

It does get some dust and insects, but I have had mine on of months and months and it still keeps the birds off.

It's was very effective at chasing away a colony of feral cats from my large backyard. I live in south Texas, which has a lot of butterflies and all sort of birds. I initially set up three units. The devices did not appear to discourage birds and butterflies. In fact, they seemed to increase their visits to my yard after the cats disappeared.

Yes it does. It is a natural way to repel mosquitos and other flying creatures.

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.

Bats no, but it did not work against birds on the balcony so I guess it wont work against bats either.

I have not seen those photographs but I can't see a Hummingbird getting caught in this stuff. You place it near the bottom of the tree to catch the bugs climbing up. Hummingbirds never get near that area of a tree(or at least I have not seen them hanging out near there). Hummingbirds are stout little creatures and would easily get clear of it. I used it all last year. I maintain a Hummingbird feeder constantly and have had nothing but bugs get caught in it. I recommend this stuff. Hope this helps.

Yes. We use it to repel gnats and mosquitoes. Unless we're headed into tick territory it's all we use.
