For the last several years we have had a large influx of barn swallows. We actually love the birds, but hate their droppings. We had our columns repainted and did not want them messed up again. I searched for something that would deter them and found these. Yes, they are a bit pricey when you do not know if they will actually work or not. Well, they DID work for us. The swallows are still around, but are not nesting on the tops of our 39 columns. They have been up for over a month and we have had fabulous results.

This product is amazing. Heard about it from our pool guy after complaining to him about the constant traffic morning and evenings of feral doves/pigeons bathing in our pool's spillover. I'd tried a bunch of things from other barriers (they hopped around), fishing line (they learned to avoid) and a variety of scarecrows, squirt guns etc spiky strips etc.. All of these "barriers" were ugly, not to mention ineffective. Worst of all, the birds never really left the pool alone. They just perched nearby waiting to get at the water. The were a terrible problem. Past Tense! After hearing about these from Joe, I really hesitated to plunk down the bucks, but finally did so and then created a clear shelf to stick them to over the water in the spillway. I also places a couple on the travertine on either end of the water feature to maintain the spacing beyond the water.. It took all of about 15 minutes to put the discs in place, making sure to space them according to the directions on the package - pretty much about 10" apart for this install. The morning before install there had been several birds in the spillway, and many more perching about 15 feet away, watching it closely for their turn. Miracle of miricles, once these discs were installed there were no more and have been no more doves - period, not in the spillover, not on the adjacent travertine, and not perching on the fence nearby. As best I can tell the main deterrent is visual - I have seen their shadows as some have flown by - but probably 30 - 40 feet or higher. They clearly are being deterred by what they see. Really interesting thing is that it hasn't deterred other varieties of birds in the yard. I've still got quail families coming thru the yard (but not the pool) and yesterday a pair of cardinals landing on the spa coping but soon flew off to a nearby tree in my yard. Love the birds - just not the doves/pigeoons!!!

If you have easy access to your roof - you may have success with this product. Placing the discs on foundations on ground level have proven to be unfruitful or not productive. Product does not appear to deter birds landing nearby. A few discs were placed on rooftop does not appear to deter birds from landing nearby.

We live in a rural area with where there is a huge abundance of sparrows. . We have had a problem with them nesting on light fixtures, security cameras, porch rails, vents on the side of the house, pergola, shed etc. You name it they took up residence by the dozens and the droppings were unimageable. I didn't want to use anything that would harm them, just have them nest in the trees. We tried Slinkys wrapped around fixtures (we had a nest in the loops of the Slinky) bobble head owls, scare tape streamers, windsocks etc. Nothing worked. I emailed Bird Barrier America to verify their product would not be harmful to the sparrows. Customer service replied immediately and confirmed that their product was indeed safe. It would not poison, trap or otherwise harm the birds, just deter them from landing in those areas. I ordered one of the gel pack kits to give it a try. Why not? I have been trying for over 5 years now. I could not believe it! We put the gel packs up on the front porch area as directed and from that point on we have not had a sparrow on the porch, camera, light fixtures. I am not kidding. They are still crazy all over the rest of the yard but not one bird or bird dropping in the area where we put up the gel packs. And the product lasts 1-2 YEARS. I immediately ordered several more packs and we are doing the deck and other structures close to the house. I could not be more impressed with this product. It does exactly what it says.
