Custom Accessories 17380 Deer Alert Whistles

I live in a very mountainous area in PA which contains many, many deer. About two years ago I finally hit one and it destroyed my car and honestly kind of flipped my life upside down for a little bit, not to mention the life of the deer that was taken. So my only line of defense has been to use my horn sporadically while driving to work at 4:30am, which I'm sure makes my neighbors love me.I saw these deer whistles and figured they were cheap enough to give them a try. I did do a bit of research to find out if there was any actual evidence that the deer whistles work and apparently insurance companies did do some studies that said they do seem to help. Honestly while it's really impossible to tell if they work because you can't hear it, I can tell you that since I've had them on my car, what went from seeing deer almost every single morning in the middle of the road, went to either never seeing them or only seeing them running away, already off the road. The only thing that can account for this are the deer whistles. I do still use my horn from time to time because you can never be too safe, but I think I can confidently state that the whistles have a lot to do with the total reduction in deer encounters. Oh and they also seem to work for other animals as well.

Great product and easy to install.

One side had to be drilled because the plastic opening wasn’t open, otherwise good to go. Haven’t tested on the road just yet but I imagine once it’s opened properly it’ll make noise.

Pretty happy with the final result of this product. I did have to modify it due to the fact that my Jeep Wrangler bumper won't take the double sided sticky despite the fact that I thoroughly cleaned it with rubbing alcohol. Time will tell on the performance. I do like these better than the other brands due to the design which allowed me to drill a hole in both the mounts on the front side and attach it firmly and tastefully to my existing holes in my stock TJ Wrangler bumper. I went to the hardware store and picked up 2 carriage bolts along with two wing nuts for attaching the mounts more properly. Worked like a charm and looks flawless. Now all I have to do is slip the whistles off for cleaning when need be and I don't have to worry about them not adhering. Would have given 5 stars but had to knock one for the fact that the sticky just isn't enough for highway speeds.

I KNOW these work! They save the lives of roadside animals AND the drivers of the cars that hit them.Animals don't judge the velocity of an approaching car any better than humans do with trains, so they run into the path, not realizing how close the car is and how fast the car approaching. These horns emit a sound that alarms them into stopping and looking to locate the sound. That pause gives them time to notice the approach of a moving object...your car.Of course, they won't work for a running animal panicked by hunters, etc. So still keep a good lookout in the Fall hunting and rutting season.PS On my Honda Odyssey, the bumper area doesn't land itself to the horizontal-to-the-road mounting these need, so I put them up by the roof rack. They can be easily removed for cleaning, car washes, etc. using a little release at the back.

By far one of the most helpful and least expensive accessories one can buy for their car, truck or motorcycle! If you don't already own these, I suggest you buy a pair, you'll never regret it! Not only would/do they scare off any deer, raccoons, birds, etc from coming toward your vehicle, but also save you thousands of dollars in repairs or could even save your life! Their very easy to apply, each on has 3M grip tape, which you just peel and stick. I have a 2010 Nissan Versa and these fit very easily into the bottom grill, you can't even tell they are there. Also these whistles don't make any noise to the human ear or dogs at that (as far as I can tell, with my dogs in my car). Anyway, buy these little beasts for $5 you won't regret it, as I do not and maybe even buy your friend a pair! Thanks!

I purchased this set set of deer whistles a few months ago and I haven’t had any accidents or near misses involving deer as of now; but only time will tell if they really work or not. I live in a rural area where deer run rampant. In fact, I was involved in 3 accidents last year alone because of these obnoxious creatures; so at this point I’m willing to try anything to prevent anymore accidents or damage to my vehicle. I will provide another update in a few months to let you know how they’re continuing to work out for me:) *Note: these deer whistles are super easy to install, and I received my purchase in the mail within days of ordering.

I have had various deer whistlers on my vehicle as ling as they have been around - my dad bought me my first pair after a dog went under my car. I was going so slowly that I could stop, and he came out dizzy, but was fine. It scared me so much that my dad found these years ago. Ever since that time, I have never had a cat, dog, deer, or moose encounter since. I always have a back up pair in case ine gets broken from rocks or careless people who squeeze by the front of the car.Living in a high population of deer, and the fact that I have never had a second encouter - except a couple of squirrels...but they are a different animal entirely when it comes to street sense - I would say that this product works. Be sure to read descriptions for low speed whistle ir high speed whistle to suit your typical travel mph.

They look nice on your vehicle. I have not run across a deer, so not knowing what the response of deer will be on them from previous experience there well worth having on your vehicle.

One of the whistles not working at all and the other one is OK. No address to return the item for replacement. Came from USA or Canada.

But 2 pairs of these now. Anything to prevent another deer strike. Attached easily and don’t notice them

Can't really say if these work for sure, I mean how can you really tell? They work by the speed of air going through them to make a sound only heard by deer. Problem is, where I was hit by a buck the speed I was going was only 20km/hr, so for me these wouldn't work.

This was a great purchase, I drive allot through rural Ontario and in the past several weeks have seen many "smaller critters" run away from my path. That said the acid test will be with a deer or moose, I will keep you up to date. In the meantime, good product , fast delviery time, I love shopping with Amazon.
