Reflect-A-Bird - Reflective Spinning Deterrent - Repels Pigeons, Sparrows, & Woodpeckers - Wind Powered - for Gardens, Railings, Roofs, Etc - Weatherproof Aluminum - Adjustable Neck

Extremely effective. No birds land on my pool. Required 2 to cover a 28 foot pool. Mounted one high and one low to cover the deck as well.

What's more annoying than some dopey bird pecking at your roof at 6:00 AM? No longer do I find myself outside squirting the little twerp with a hose to drive him off. This is particularly true of the lovely desert woodpeckers that poke holes in anything that's stationary for more than 3 seconds.I bought this item with little hope that it would work. To my surprise, it does! Now... for it to work, it has to move as woodpeckers, apparently, don't seem to like shiny moving things. When the air movement ceases, the effectiveness drops. Since we live in the desert Southwest, flat roofs are common and there are few places to affix these to where they would catch the breeze. My solution was to mount it in proximity to the air stream of the fan on our roof mounted heat pump. When it's running, the reflector rotates... which is what deters the little twerps in the early morning hours as the heat pump is either running to heat or cool at that time of day. The rest of the day, it's breezy enough for the reflector to spin on it's own. Oddly, spooking the woodies has also reduced their desire to destroy our orange crop... a nice side benefit.Now, if only I could find something to chase off those dopey Mourning Doves that use the entire world as their toilet.....

Purchased this product in hopes it would put fear in the group of herons that prefer to whitewash my dock with their cement like droppings. Nope, pretty sure this morning I came out to find one laying on its side with a cigarette hanging out of its beak after a night of doing the nasty with the device. I am pretty sure they are a couple now and will likely fly away to another lake. Needless to say, this is headed back to Azon (before it is carried away) and I am off to test another device.

Great product!! Birds have never came back. Our HOA didn’t like it being shiny so we spray painted it to match the roof. Only problem is the bolt that is included is too short so the movable part flew off after a short time. Luckily it was still on the roof since we have a flat roof and did not break. We were able to find a longer one at Home Depot with the same thread so we could replace it and add a nut to the back to secure it. The original screw was not long enough to do that. For the price they should have thought of that but it works great at keeping the birds away.

Finally, something that is working to keep the pigeons away.

It gives out a good reflection but only if it spins. The wind has to be pretty strong in order for it to spin. I even put a lubricant in the center of the rod but it still didn’t help. Your best bet for your money is to buy the diamond pattern high reflective tape; “Britenway”. This tape works great in your backyard! Maybe the best application for this spinner is to put it on top of the house.

This spinner is the only thing I have found to stop woodpeckers from hammering on my house and 4 of the neighbors' homes, as well. Bought clear weatherproof Gorilla Glue and glued the metal base of the spinner to a 12 inch by 12 inch ceramic tile and put up on my patio roof. Such a great relief from the noise and worry of the possible damage to our home. Previous home, a woodpecker hammered a hole in our patio roof. I have spent some money purchasing the teardrop shape reflectors, a roll of flashing tape, bird spikes to put in gutters, etc. Nothing completely stopped the woodpeckers, until I put up this spinner! Have seen businesses with these on their roofs, but did not know what they were called or where they bought them from. When searching Amazon, I accidentally stumbled across this spinner. While I thought it a bit pricey, decided I had to have it. Best purchase ever if dealing with woodpeckers or anything else, that shiny movements will scare off!

I first bought the Bird-B-Gone Spider 360 in the 2-foot model. I wanted something to put on the antenna mast so the birds and woodpeckers would not sit on the antenna and leave bird droppings on my flat garage roof.From the photo, I bought a 3/4 inch galvanized floor flange and 3/4 inch PVC pipe so that I could put together a way to mount this on the 1.25 antenna mast.I was disappointed with the spider and even with a 20 mph wind the spider did not rotate and the stainless steel arms did not move. I still had woodpeckers clinging to the antenna mast and decided to exchange this for the Bird-B-Gone Reflect-A-Bird because it mentions that it is good for woodpeckers.I used the same mount but had to drill new holes the the base of the Reflect-A-Bird so that I could mount it on top of my antenna mast.Even with a one mph wind the reflector spins, and no more woodpeckers. This by far is the best device and since installing it I have not had a bird or woodpecker on the antenna.I also added several Reflective Scare Rods that I bought on Amazon and they spin in the wind and keep the birds off of the antenna. By adding these devices it does not interfere with receiving a great signal from the antenna.This really works and that is why I am writing my review because the Reflet-A-Bird is worth the money.
