Woodpecker Rods for House,Bird Reflective Devices Outdoor,Reflective Scare Rods,Bird Reflectors for Outside（Christmas Reflector Strip Hanging Home As Decoration(6PCS)

Every year when my apricot and peach and cherry trees bloom, the sparrows take delight in tearing and shredding the flowers off the trees preventing fruiting. This year, I noticed a woodpecker had made such huge holes in my cherry tree, that the little tree was dying. My neighbor recommended these sparkly twirlers and I immediately ordered them. I hung them in different heights throughout the trees. These really work! They deterred the birds from decimating my trees and now I find fruit slowly growing on them. The only issue with them is that in bad wind storms, they get tangled around the branches so I have to go out and untangle them. It's a small task when compared to the value they provide.

My porch is assaulted by little sparrows cloaca’s this time of year, every year.I didn’t necessarily want to use spikes cause they’re ugly. The clear ones are a bit pricey. And the sparrows take to the space between the porch and the gap of the wall where it protrudes out so there’s maybe 4” or so of space there for them to just chill under. So anything like that would have to go there which makes it tricky. Anyway.These have worked wonders so far. I didn’t have high hopes but these came in clutch.🐦 They don’t like em. Birds stay tf away from my porch now even if it’s not windy. No more spraying doo doo off my porch every day 🥲🌀 It’s a fun design like an icicle, maybe a little Christmas-y. About a foot long. No more than an inch in diameter. Not super obnoxious. // my husband said he’d rather deal with bird 💩 than have the house look trashy or ghetto and he hasn’t complained so they look just fine!🪢 They come already on a stretchy string/rubber band which is convenient so no assembly there but it would be nice to have the ability to tie them to something without having to actually cut that and retie or use another string to wrap around it. Not a huge issue though.✨ Super reflective, like I said the birds don’t f with it.💪 it comes with 12 plastic rods, which are semi durable, wont break on their own but they could take damage with enough pressure. More worried about the elastic that comes with it breaking than anything else!💰 it’s about $1 a piece for a 12 ct pack which is a decent price. Though I say they’re worth more around the 50c-75c range per unit lolOverall I’m happy because the sparrows are leaving my house alone… for now 👀

Cheap. Not very reflective, the plastic/stretchy string used to hang them disintegrate in the weather/sun after only a month or so and it hasn’t worked at keeping birds away at all. Don’t waste your money. You are better off using old CDs and hanging from fishing line which you probably have laying around your house somewhere.

They seem to be effective at deterring woodpeckers BUT they wound up on the ground in less than 2 months. The cheap rubber-band like string does not hold up to the elements. I have to hire someone with a very long extension ladder to re-hang them once I figure out what kind of string or wire to use.

I rarely write reviews, but I have loved these and have been telling anyone who will listen about them. I live in a Boston in-town neighborhood with lots of trees and the houses are close together….I park my car underneath a tree, and this past Spring it was being absolutely inundated with bird p**p, to the point I was worried about my and my 5 year old sons health opening doors of the car. I almost bought the scare tape, but then discovered this product, and opted for it instead since its more aesthetically pleasing and looks like a decoration if anything. It completely solved my issue, there has not been a single splat on my car since I hung these in the tree, Im a 100% satisfied customer. Worth noting: the bands they arrive on are thin, but intentionally so… they allow the light material to twirl in the wind easily, improving its efficacy.

They are easy to install and look nice but they do not work for mud swallows. I came home today to about 30 hanging under the area I placed them at (I bought 2 packs and made a perimeter) and a porch covered in poop.

These things really work. My only criticism is the flimsy elastic loop for hanging. They broke after about a month, but were easily replaced with elastic bands.
