Chephon Bird Scare Rods with Reflective Discs Reflectors - Bird Spinner Scare Device of Twisting Rods and Disks to Keep Birds Away Like Woodpecker and Pigeon - 6 Pack

Every year, I've had barn swallows nest in the front porch of my home. I have a high two story that makes it perfect for them to nest. While I was ok with it at first, it became a nuisance with cleaning bird poop and fallen babies that I tried to rescue. I decided to give these a try. At first I didn't know if it would work since I thought they would have to be placed high enough to deter them with the reflection. I hung two on the lamp posts, one near the front door and the other near the garage. When the sun is just right, they reflect a shine. These worked! The barn swallows did try to come back at first and make their elegant swoop into the porch area and attempt to make the nest, but they did not stay! It took a couple of weeks but it worked! I was about to display a big owl, but I'm glad I didn't. These are decorative enough to hang and are lightweight. You have to peel off the blue film on the round discs. It comes with enough to strategically place them where needed. I do like that it is a safe way to prevent birds from nesting. After all, I do love birds! I highly recommend them!

we only had them hanging for a week or so, but it appears they are doing a pretty decent job. we have yet to see how they will hold thru the weather elements and whatnot....

Also used for pond area to keep cranes and ducks away works well, but cannot withstand the heat at least one and a half summers only

Very few to say. Overpriced plastic pieces. I bought 2 sets for the deck. It seems work. Not all birds are scared of this plastic though. I had to buy additional swinging carabiner to make them turning. Hopefully the will last entire summer season…

These do not work to deter bugs they are just shiny and spin, the bird flew right past them, they did not help at all, we are using them as patio decor now. Not a bird deterrent. Don't waste your money.
