De-Bird Bird Repellent Scare Tape - Keep Away Pigeons, Ducks, Crows and More - Deterrent Works with Netting And Spikes (350)

Just had a new front lawn laid as it was in dreadful condition after last summer, also chafer grubs which the magpies were going mad for. The lawn has been treated for the chafer grubs but wanted something to keep the magpies away until this takes effect. Put up 19 sticks with the tape attached and it's working a treat.

As long as you hang strips of tape on high up branches or hanging baskets it does deter magpies or other unwanted birds

Works well in dull and sunny conditions. Upto now keeping pesky pigeons and squirrels away

Although the tape is strong and seems durable it only scared the Jackdaws and Magpies away for about a day. After that they were happily sitting on the branches I'd attached it to. Even in bright sunlight with a breeze to reflect and rustle, they didn't seem deterred. The problem is that these birds do not scare easily and soon get wise to the passivity.

Best idea is to move it around, bring it down and back up again now and again, else the birds get complacent about it.

It's just a roll of shiny paper but it's not sticky.

Have tried many products to keep birds out of my garden but unfortunately nothing workedI use mine by pegging strips on to my washing line

Only used some of this to keep birds of the fence fouling.Only time will tell.Good amount of roll.Will last for ages.Recommended.
