Optical Gel Bird Repellent Discs, 200 Pack, Pigeon Deterrent

We have several pillars on our front porch that Birds luv building nests! We are continuing to get the ladder out & taking down nests & moving to the tree next to our porch. We wouldn't mind, BUT birds make "messes" on our porch where we like to sit & keep clean. SO FAR, these discs have stopped the birds from making the nests. I have not yet got a picture of the birds flying away from these deterrents as yet but will attach pictures once I do. About the product: it seems a little expensive, but if it works, I'm happy!!! The product box says what you'll need. We THOUGHT there would be silicone in the product box, BUT THERE IS NOT. I even dumped everything out of the box to confirm :(

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!!!

I cleaned the areas as per the directions and then I TSP'd on the perches. Then 3 coats of high gloss paint. Then I siliconed the cups to the perch spots and waited. At first it was great, no birds, until it wasn't. It took about 3 weeks and the first one that got stuck violently tried to free himself; it was a bloody mess. I thought it was a fluke so after choking back tears I cleaned it up and waited. It happened three or four additional times and I didn't have the stomach to let it continue. However, I put over 25 of the cups high up and it wasn't that simple to remove them. I had to pay somebody to come and take them all down and clean up the blood and entrails and then repaint those areas of my patio. By the time the painter got out to do the job, I was averaging one to two dead birds every week. I thought the birds would simply smell it and be turned off. They sat right in it, and the product is so sticky, almost like silicone, and they couldn't get out of it. It was as bad as gluetraps. Very inhumane. I didn't take pictures or video because it was disgusting! And I already felt like an executioner and I didn't want pictures to remind me. It was a great idea, but another failed idea.

I followed all the pre-installation directions for clearing and have had these installed for a few weeks now. The pigeons have vacated that area, however they moved to another location on my house. You can see where some pigeons landed on it and pulled off due to the stickiness. I plan on buying more, just wish they were not so expensive.

This absolutely works. However, you need quite a lot of them and all areas need to be covered, otherwise the birds just move to a different spot. Only effective deterrent that I've found.

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.

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.
