Work well to keep pigeons away from ledges
358072
Easy to assemble & seem to help keep pigeons away from the ledge over my pop-out window.  Also like the flexibility in assembly that allows me to put 3 or 4 discs on one hanger.

So pleased with the effectiveness of these discs that I ordered this extra set to keep on hand.

It keeps the birds away except one turtle dove around my pool.

These seem to be working pretty well. We hung them under the eaves and on plant hangers along the side of the house. Other than some banging against the siding when the wind blows, no complaints. We did have a few swing up onto the roof so be sure to limit the amount of line you use to hang them. So far, the streamers are holding on and while we did have one woodpecker return after installing these, there has not been any additional damage to the house. Definitely worth a try if you have a bird problem.

This works for preventing birds from doing their business on my deck.  You have to remember to move it everyday (or at least every couple days) or the birds soon figure out the owl isn't real.  It did nothing to rabbit eating my flowers everyday.

on the far side of our deck, it gets under the shade by about 2:00 each day.  the rest of the roof and deck are pretty hot by comparison.  on the shaded side, on the edge of the gutter and deck railing, we had birds roosting all day.  the mess they left behind on some days made it impossible to enjoy the furniture or shade (think lots of globs of white stuff).  i placed these on top of the 10 feet of gutter we had, wiring them on top of the rails the go over the top of the gutters.  these are light and need held down securely but a simply 8-10 gauge wire worked great.  you could use glue, nails, etc.  there are small holes in each strip to help with fastening.  i've witnessed a number of birds try and return to their special place and get poked by the spikes.  it's human and just sends them away flapping and in search of another spot.  i thought about using it on the deck railing but thought it would look odd - so we opted with the bird glue that is on the market.  this worked well also but i feel the spikes are better for long term.  i'll proably get another set to lace on top of our swingset railing that goes above the swings - another favorite spot of theirs to drop bombs.  all in all, it works great - better than expected - it just needs to be used in a space that fits the size of the strips.  or you could need to put them side by side which would also work

As advertised.  I used glue to hold them and it has stopped the birds from returning.

Ordered these snakes to keep the crazy red cardinal birds away from our car windows and door mirrors.  The birds keep flinging themselves at the car windows and door mirrors thinking that their reflection is a different bird.  We are also using two snakes on top of our hot tub cover to keep the woodpeckers from pecking holes into the cover.  So far, we can report that it seems to be working.  They're not exactly the colors of native local snakes...so maybe the squiggly stature is what's working.  They are slightly flexible but don't roll up or change their position.

As far as toys for kids -- I would recommend them for a fun and educational toy.  They are fairly soft and pliable which kids may like.  They're each around 10 inches long and pretty colorful.  We've had ours outside for at least a month, in the sun and rain, and they look great.  Their durability is pretty good so far!

This was a wonderful solution to keep the woodpeckers off my house.  I hung them on the corners of the house near the roof line and it keeps them away.  Plus they look cheerful!

Great for holding bird feeders off the ground so that squirrels can't get them. Damn pesky squirrels.

Bought this to keep birds off of my porch...came out today to a bird perched on one of the spikes.

I live in Maricopa AZ and we installed solar panels and found that the pigeons loved to get under and and make a mess. We got professionals to secure with wire the opening, but the pigeons found their way under the smallest opening. We tried a product called Tanglefoot which worked only if the pigeons happen to land on it and with a large roof that is very hit and miss. We even tried a product that
was suppose to give the pigeons a burning sensation when they stepped in it. Both these products were extremely messy and lasted a few months at best.  The Bird X is extremely simple to install and clean.
We watch the pigeons scatter when it goes off. You can hear it, but it blends nicely with the other bird and nature sounds. Clean the area very well with a power sprayer to get rid of all the nasty poop.  We adjusted to work only during the day and random calls every 7-10 minutes. So far so good! Highly recommend, its great to have our roof back and not hear scratching and pigeon noises from inside the house.

Used these to attach the PVC wire mesh, that I also bough on Amazon, to skirt my solar panels and keep the pigeons and other creatures out. These worked great and cost less than the websites that specialize in solar barriers.

While these seem to be working at keeping the flying critters out, they do crack if dropped or bumped.

This works well. The pigeons figure it out really fast and stay away after just one landing on the product. I even had a crow leave some tail feathers behind attempting to escape. It also traps insects just like fly paper. The downside is cleanup if it's in an area you can see. A plastic scraper and mineral spirits works well. Five stars for how it works keeping the the birds at bay. 3 stars for ease of cleanup. I am going to put down gaffers tape then putting the material on top. Clean up should be easy. Pull up the tape, repeat the process.

I recently bought a set of these stainless steel bird barrier spike strips because I've had robins building nests on my new 4" x 3" downspouts.  I don't have a problem with wildlife per se, but I wanted to discourage nest building so that, when I'm performing my lawn maintenance, I wouldn't disturb the birds as they were feeding their newly hatched offspring.  The strips came bundled together in one box and I separated them gingerly so that I could prepare them to be installed.  Two of the individual "V" shaped spike wire units were already separated from the plastic mounting hardware and were loose in the carton.  I'm sure it takes a special piece of equipment to reinstall these once they come out, so you have to exercise some degree of care when handling these strips to avoid dislodging the spikes.  In MY case, I used white vinyl clothes line to secure the strips in place onto the surface of the downspout under the soffit where nest building annually takes place. The strips can be easily trimmed to fit any area or the foot-long strips can be joined together if you have an area that's longer than 1 foot in length.  The results: the robins won't go anywhere near these sites now that the strips are in place.  The same cannot be said for small birds such as purple finches, who will build their nests on top of light fixture finials if given a chance.  I have observed attempts at nest building within the spikes by these crafty little guys and proceeded to pull down the twigs before they had a chance to get settled in.  A more dense array of spikes would probably be called for in order to ensure that no birds of any size could settle wherever these spikes are deployed.  Overall, I rate these as practical and useful.  Robins create a more massive, dirty mess to clean up once they get their nests built and I feel good that these deter them without injuring them. The price seems reasonable and I could not find these at my local home improvement stores, so once again Amazon came to the rescue.  For a more permanent installation, the instructions recommend mounting these strips either with screws or adhesive.  I recommend this product; just be careful not to dislodge any of the spikes while handling the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Bird-X-STS-10-R-Stainless-Bird-Spikes-Kit/dp/B000Z5E4IE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Bird-X STS-10-R Stainless Bird Spikes Kit</a>&nbsp;strips and you're pretty much good to go!

Great for keeping the birds off my blueberries.
However, the squirrels were not bothered a bit.....

These keep the chcikens, dogs, cats, and goats out of where they are not supposed to be. They work great. The only downfall is they use 9V batteries and they go theough them quickly. Highly recommended. Better than putting up fencing everywhere.
