Bird B Gone - Solar Bird Repeller - Spinning Bird Deterrent with Telescoping Arms - Prevents Birds from Landing - Humane Repellent - Portable Design - for Boats, Patios, AC Units, Etc - Solar Powered

These have been just what we needed! Our neighbor loves to feed birds and attracts large doves and pigeons in her yard and they make their way to my yard and pool. Out of desperation, we bought two of these to sit out at the pool on the beach entrance of the pool and the boulders at the other end to alleviate the bird poop problem we can't seem to solve as long as our neighbor feeds the birds. These devices have worked very well at keeping the birds from bathing and sitting at our pool edge. The solar panels work well and last a long time. We even had one land in the pool briefly at the start of a storm, and it still works! They are quiet and efficient.

This is a poorly made product that does not work well. I purchased Energizer rechargable batteries and had them fully charged beore I set up this item. When setup and turned on, the 'Arms' barely move. After one night, the arms do not move at all since the solar charger cannot work. The body and mounting tabs are all made of plastic.

We have a guard dog at our work that stays outside, I couldn't understand how much I thought he was eating. I ended up getting him an automatic dog bowl / feeder as he eats the bowl continues to fill, every time I would come back from the weekend all the food would be gone, then I got him a bigger dog bowl that holds 10 pounds of food and still every time I would come back it would be all gone. I couldn't figure it out, I really thought he was eating that much since I don't know anything about dogs, never had one. Then I just started saying to myself that it can't be he's eating that much, he only eats twice a day when I'm there. I started noticing every time I pull in I see birds at his dog bowl and I see them eating his food. It sounds kind of crazy to me that these birds are eating 10 pounds of food every few days but, I figured it has to be the problem. I went online to find a bird repeller and at first I saw the ultrasonic ones thought that would work best but, they all have really poor reviews and so I was hesitant in purchasing that. Then I found this unit and thought I'd give it a try. It arrived the very next day after placing the order, first thing I did was when I was setting this up, I put in my own Energizer rechargeable AA which has more power than the rechargeables that it came with, I wasn't sure if there would be compatible issues or not but, I went ahead and did it. So I set this up on top of my dogs feeder / bowl, high enough to where he can easily go under there and eat without it bothering him or touching him. Since I have set this up 6 days ago, it has been running just fine and best of all it is working in detering birds. His dog bowl is still 3/4 full from 6 days ago, so it definately was the birds. The unit is still running just fine, I don't know if the solar is working or if it's the rechargeable battery but, I wouldn't mind just having to change the rechargeable battery now and then because this thing is working awesome, there aren't any more birds, when I pull in there aren't any birds. I remember the first day I set it up I saw birds were trying to come and eat something but they were staying away from the unit, I guess they weren't used to this thing and they wouldn't come near the food they were just sitting there in the parking lot but, now they are not coming at all. For my purpose this unit is definatley doing the job and repelling birds.

Writing this after one month of daily use. Has worked very well for the small beach entry on my pool. The arms fully extended cover the entire entry, but I would say if they didn’t, certain birds after a while were getting more bold and probably would’ve walked by it if they had room. So for me it works very well. After 1 month exactly the cheap no label rechargeable batteries didn’t work. Put good Energizer rechargeable batteries in it and good to go. Was very doubtful it would be charged enough to run through the night but it did and for one month at that. I think they are overpriced though and if you have a bigger space you’ll probably need more than one. No bird poop on my beach entry and no bird poop in the pool! I’m happy. I’m in AZ also, so I’m getting lots of sun.

I have a pool with a raised spa that creates 2 waterfalls which is beautiful. I love the waterfalls and the sound the falling water. The neighborhood birds love it too as their personal bird bath. As a thank you for the bath, they leave me gifts on the desk. These are very unwanted gifts of poop that I had to scrub every day. After looking for bird and human friendly options, I ran across the Bird B Gone Bird Repeller. The first night I noticed a decrease in birds, but still had "gifts" the next morning. So since I have 2 waterfalls I bought another one and placed it by the other spillway. I have had little to no birds visit. Of course at first they were curious, even a few intrepid bathers brave the arms (which swing so gently it wouldn't hurt the bird only startle them). I don't mind the one or two poops a month vs 12 or more per day. My pool man thought I was crazy. Now he sees the difference and has recommended them to his clients that have similar bird problems. *** One of my repellers fell all the way into the pool and I found it at the bottom of the deep end. The description says it works in weather but do not completely submerge in water (or something like that). Well I can say I fished it out, let the water drain and it STARTED WORKING RIGHT AWAY. Now I don't know how long this will last, only that it kept on spinning. I have a replacement saved in my cart just in case, but I am beyond impressed.

Cuando lo probé en el balcón (9 metros cuadrados), observé que las palomas dejaron de acercarse y de entrar al balcón, incluyendo mi gato, que ni a comer se acercó al balcón. Sin embargo, las palomas siguieron invadiendo el techo. Cuando lo instalé permanentemente en el techo, el gato volvió al balcón. Las palomas dejaron de posarse específicamente en el área del techo donde intalé el aparato, pero continuaron invadiendo el resto del techo. Observo que las palomas, por obvias razones, no se posan en el perímetro de las antenas giratorias pero, aunque sí se posan fuera del radio giratorio, no permanecen mucho tiempo ahí. Mi experiencia me dice que este aparato sí sirve en espacios pequeños y semi cerrados, pero no en espacios amplios y abiertos. También observo que, entre más extraigo las antenas, para abarcar más perímetro en el techo, con menos velocidad y fuerza giran, al grado de que el viento, las puede frenar. Ocurre lo contrario entre más retraigo las antenas, con la consecuencia de que el radio giratorio se reduce a un radio de quizá 50 cm. Luego de un mes de uso, las palomas ya no se posan en el techo. De hecho, las observo venir y luego cambiar de parecer y retirarse.

No birds or poop since I got this item. I only have smaller birds on my balcony and Ilike that it will not hurt them if they get hit by it (it stops really quick with a very low torque motor). I also bought higher capacity AA rechargeable batteries as the ones shipped are all but useless and won't last half a day in poor sunlight! The trick here for people that do not have much sun is to buy 2500mAh AA rechargeable batteries and a charger. Put recharged batteries in each day and your unit will run all day and night no problem! I added a few white ribbons on the end of the arms which I found scared the birds way even more. Very happy, bought another for my rear balcony. Great device!

Great work really well and no bird mess all over the boat cover!

It would seem this device was designed for indoor use??? Worked perfectly until it got wet and leaked into batter compartment (despite my own weather proofing, because the device has NO inbuilt weatherproofing. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

El producto es de fácil instalación y funciona perfectamente. Lo utilizo en el clima de Metepec México en donde diariamente hay por lo menos algunas horas de sol, y desde que llegó el producto no he tenido más visitas de pichones en un techado en donde cada vez que iba tenía que limpiar constantemente sus eses . Estaban a punto de hacer nido en ese techado, pero desde que llegó el producto, no he vuelto a encontrar suciedad de pichones. Sí funciona.
