The Big Cheese Repeller Ribbon Bird and Deer Scarer, Iridescent Silver, 30 m

Has kept the birds away since we relaid our lawn

The media could not be loaded. It's an OK product, the ones in the tree seem to work better but on the newly seeded lawn it's a bit useless. It is not self adhesive so stuck mine on with waterproof tape. There is plenty on the roll. It looks pretty and makes a nice noise.

Bought these to keep birds off lawns when I put grass seed down. They work fairly well. Used to get lots of birds in my garden. There are only 2 fat pigeons that keep trying their luck. I would buy again.

Our neighbour feeds the pigeons every morning and they then fly over into our garden where they leave their droppings all over our garden furniture and terrace and also perch on our chimney and TV aerial where they make a lot of noise and also leave droppings. We've explained the problem to her politely several times but we are just met with unpleasant replies and she continues to put food out especially for them - she has pigeon proof feeders for other birds which is nice because we love the other birds!! In desperation we have bought several 5m collapsible fibre glass flag poles from Amazon and tied lengths of this tape down them and placed them strategically in the garden. We also used 3 poles inside each other (like Russian dolls) to get extra height and strength and fixed this near the chimney. After all this work and expense we are thrilled to be able to say this works well and now we hardly ever see pigeons in our garden or on the roof!! The only time the pigeons ignore the tape is when it's wet and doesn't 'flap' but it soon dries out and unfurls itself from the poles so we can live with this!!. At these times shaking a bit of tape at them does the trick!! As the poles are high the tape is above our eye level when we're in the garden so it isn't annoying for us. This tape is thicker and much more robust and shiny than another brand we tried.Excellent product!!

I hung some of this up yesterday afternoon. I sat outside this morning, admiring the lack of bird poo on the paving and wondering if this really was doing the job. Sadly not, five minutes later I spotted a pigeon sitting directly below some of waving tape. Ironically, my slight movements, made in an attempt to take a photo of this novelty, scared the pigeon off. Only to replaced in short order by a magpie sitting above the tape. It's nice robust tape though, but not good for its intended purpose in my experience.

I have struggled with pigeons nesting on my solar panels and tried many things to get rid of them but this is the simplest and most effective.Forget the ultrasonic scarers and spikes; this is your answer. I only bought because a friend recommended and was sceptical. I thought I'd try it before committing to getting the big ladder out again so duct taped two 1m lengths to bits I could reach out of the window and just that has been enough to move the birds along and let me sleep again.One piece has blown away but at this price I don't care; if I went up and secured it properly that wouldn't happen. It is a bit noisey as it clatters about on the roof in high winds but the effect on the birds is worth that and easily ignored. It'll move about well in very light winds and is quite sturdy material so should last. Not that that's a concern for the price but if you have it in inaccessible places as I will you would want that.I don't generally directly recommend products but will make an exception - if you want rid of birds, buy this!

I bought this because we get a load of pigeons coming to drink out of our pond. It worked extremely well for the first week but now the pigeons aren't scared of it anymore. When it is blowing in the wind it still seems to work but I also put some along the top of all the walls to stop the pigeons landing there and I saw a pigeon happily walking along it the other day so evidently it is not scaring them away. Have resorted to covering the pond so they have no reason to land. Its disappointing as the reviews were so positive I thought it would work.

First of all this tape is Not adehesive. It is designed to wrap around and be tied or fixed in some other manner. I needed it to deter squadrons of birds from devouring the cherries from my larger tree. I have two very nimble cats but even they needed a rest occasionally! As things were I was becoming desperate. This tape is nice and reflective and relatively rigid and makes an impressive noise in the wind. I tried tying it on the branches but due to the metallic nature of the tape that did not work too well. In the end I used a domestic stapler and stapled the top on. Result? Even in gale force 6 so far the tape remains undamaged but best of all, I have not seen one bird attempt to land or even come near to eat a cherry. So after five days the cherries are still ripening and remain intact. And it is a simple, humane and effective deterrent. I cannot recommend it enough.
