Owl keeps pests out of my garden
594412
When my Dad recommended using an owl to keep pesky squirrels from stealing tomatoes out of my garden, I questioned his wisdom, but so far so good...it seems t work.  Owl is very realistic and solar powered head movement gives it a bit more kick to keep the beasties from getting used to it.  It comes with a hole in the base for mounting on a pole, but the hole and the base alone seem a bit flimsy to do so.  I built a wood base for mine and added sand inside the owl itself for stability...so my only recommendation for improvement would be for the owl to include/have a weighted base included or have a more substantially built bottom.  Overall, the product is quality, aesthetically pleasing and seems (so far) to do the job.

We had a pigeon problem, well lets say we don't have those birds or any others now in our garden. This owl scared everything off.  Shame as some cute birds came to visit but the pigeons where a big problem.

The Owl reflectors sure work.  We do not have birds flying through our patio any more or making nests in our ceiling fans.

great addition to the garden. Nice splash of color and the flapping keeps the critters away from my plants

Our home has storage space that is open to the dirt surrounding the house.  No problem in the winter, but as it warms up many grass snakes join the warmth inside with us.  I think this is the item that will lower the # of serpentine intruders.  The active owl is perfect with-out the need for batteries.

Bought this to combat the squirrels who are digging up my plants and dropping them on my deck!

I tried noxious sprays and netting but nothing seemed to keep the deer away from my front yard.  They lived there and ate my shrubs and flowers and left not so little piles of fertilizer.  The scarecrow is great.  It detects their motion and gives a brief spray that keeps them away.  My flowers can now bloom and my shrubs are coming back little by little.  While not cheap I am glad I have my scarecrow.

Expensive, but works to keep deer out of garden and from eating my flowers.

Two stakes?  Only two stakes?

About the only thing this deters is birds.  Bugs can still get in, the mice and chipmunks crawl underneath it and the raccoons and woodchucks just pull it apart.  The stays are unweildy.  This is suitable, at best, for early in the season when plants are still small, otherwise the netting impedes their growth.  Waste of money!  Get some wire coathangers and some mosquito netting and make your own.

I've had this installed in our back yard for 4 days and moved it twice in that time.  The head does turn - either in wind or sun.  We installed this to scare off rabbits, birds, and squirrels.  However, for some odd reason, this owl actually seems to ATTRACT animals.  I've never seen so many rabbits in our back yard - I see three now, whereas usually it's just one at a time.  The squirrels who usually just run along the porch or fence line are now feeding in the yard directly beneath the owl.  (I tried getting a great picture of a squirrel looking up at the owl from a distance of about a foot.  He was cocking his head back and forth like he was trying to figure out what the thing was...  Of course, by the time I got my camera, he had lost interest...)

This might work for people in some areas, but it definitely didn't work for us here in Colorado.

Used them to stake down my garden fence to keep critters out. Working awesome. My garden hasn't been touched by rabbits or small rodents this year.

I have it under my shop awning out of the rain. It seems to keep the flying pest from my patio. It's about 100 ft away.

Picked this up at my local Audubon site and it works great!  I was having a big chipmunk problem and this has kept the critters eating the excess seed off the grass, not chowing down on the feeders stealing all the seed from the birds.  I haven't seen a squirrel attempt it yet, but it is solving my problem.  Great product.

No more pesky pest roaming the yard including squirrels,snakes, field mice, and crappy birds. Bees, please come back!

I purchased this pest repeller to place around my garden edge.  We have trouble with deer. coons, skunks getting into our garden and destroying it.  I placed the repeller around the corn.  The repeller has an off and on switch on the bottom of the unit.  There is a solar powered panel on top.  The green stake is easy to install into the unit.  I do suggest  your soil to be moist so it is easier to place post in the ground.  The design of the repeller looks like two big black eyes staring at you.  There is a ultra-sonic speakers which are  twice as efficient.  No need to stand on guard of your garden, let the repeller do its job.  This unit can be easily stored when not in use.  Easy to assemble and take apart.  The power supplied source is solar energy, perfect green products with energy saving and maintenance-free.  I have not any trouble thus far with the unit not keeping the critters away from our corn.  I am very pleased thus far with the unit.  I did purchase the unit at a discounted price in return for my honest review.  I give the repeller a 5 star rating overall.

I bought this to keep the many birds away from the dogs food and water. It wouldn't be so bad except they leave bird poop everywhere, on the trees, the fence, the patio and it is not sanitary. I chase them but they come back. Now I have an automatic chaser and that helps me keep my patio area neat and clean. Thank you so much this repeller is great.
