Does this method work to keep turkeys away?

I'm sorry but I have no idea. I've not tried it on anything other than starlings. And it sure doesn't work with them.

Not sure about Turkeys. We have them hanging in our shed to keep the birds out.

yes, this worked with about 85% of the pets. As you must know with pets, there are always a few that seem to completely ignore any deterrent.

Let it defrost and the turkey should relax down into the an. If not foils works.

We have many wild turkeys in our area. The coyote decoy, does not seem to intimidate them whatsoever. We only have one decoy though, it might work if you have a few scattered about. The turkeys do not go near the decoy in the field. It definitely helped with our goose problem though.

I am not familiar with the habits of wild turkeys, so I would have to defer to the answers below. Another suggestion might be to use the scarecrow - motion activated pest deterrent. It squirts water and makes noise at pests. I don't know how smart turkey's are but cats & dogs will learn to not mess with that area after getting wet & started a few times. It is made by contech and you can find it on amazon.

It will work for one turkey at a time. You could do about 2-3 chickens at a time. :). We love ours!

If it is an animal that pecks, then no, I dont believe this would work as a suitable barrier for that. //

Victor, I could not get this gadget to work at all. I had it installed facing direct East sun. I ended up trashing it just before I moved from my former home. It just did not keep stray dogs, skunks, raccoons, cats, mice, etc. off my property.

It's hard to say, but I'd give it a try. Be sure to move it to different locations every few days. Birds are smart and will eventually catch on that it's a decoy. Good luck!

Hi Grace......at first our birds would come and peck at it and fly away. I thought this is not going to work, but then low and behold they started coming back and figured out how to feed from it. Now we have them all back plus the morning doves, raccoons and squirrels. The spring is too tight to close the doors when the doves and squirrels get on it so we close it at night with a small bungie cord. Hope this helps :)

Yes, it has worked for me here on the farm. But, and this is a big but, any and all inside animals MUST BE REMOVED FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE for several hours. I have birds, cats, dog and fish, so no chances ever of poisoning them. Been using it every 6 months during these hot summer months without fail or harming my animals. On farms, there seem to be more of what mother-nature created that in most cities. All I can tell you is what has worked for me. Read the WARNINGS that the manufacture gives with the product. If this information has helped you, I'm glad I've helped.

I bought it to repel aley cats from my driveway. There are some signs of diminished presence but I don't swear by the effectiveness of the gadget. It is supposed to cover a specific area, if your cats stay out I hope it works for the dog. Less poop to deal with is always nice.

Absolutely... But you may only get 5-6 uses out of the unit before it malfunctions and its out of the return period. Steer clear. The old fashioned pop up thermostats work the best for oven turkeys.

Now having one winter behind, my answer to the raccoons is "no" it does not deter them. They sit on the rail, grab hold of arm, swing it toward them. Have ended up taking the feeder in at dark EVERY nite. Found is does not freeze at 0 temp...arm moves freely.

I apply the granules and spray around the perimeter and down the rows between the vegetables. I am sure that I'm overly cautious. I am able to keep all animals out by doing it the way that I do. I have had great success. I have hungry oppossums, rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, mice and some critters that I do not know their names. After a heavy rain, I must repeat the procedure.

It will slow them down, or simply put some Vaseline on it, that will discourage them from future attempts, stopped out squirrels from going out on it

I don't know if this suet feeder would prevent woodpeckers from drilling into your home, I have several woodpeckers that feed from this feeder, but theyfly away after feeding and come back later, so you could try and put a couple of them out in your yard and perhaps they will feed from it and then fly awayand leave your house alone!.
