Woodpecker Rods for House,Bird Reflective Devices Outdoor,Reflective Scare Rods,Bird Reflectors for Outside（Christmas Reflector Strip Hanging Home As Decoration(6PCS)

I used these in 2 places - around church eaves, where the woodpeckers kept moving around once we'd fill a hole they made. And on our back deck, to stop the birds from dropping poop as they'd fly near it. One thing i like is it has an elastic attachment, vs. hard metal. The hard metal hooks i had prior would break at the top of the reflector under stress from wind, so required more maintenance. Not sure how the elastic will hold up long term, but i can use fishing wire if need be.

A week after I put my Gazeebo up i had birds trying to build birds nests. Everyday I would take down what they started. Finally put these rodsnup.andno have been bird and nest free for 10 days.Other reviews were favorable and product seemed easy to imstall.

My porch is assaulted by little sparrows cloaca’s this time of year, every year.I didn’t necessarily want to use spikes cause they’re ugly. The clear ones are a bit pricey. And the sparrows take to the space between the porch and the gap of the wall where it protrudes out so there’s maybe 4” or so of space there for them to just chill under. So anything like that would have to go there which makes it tricky. Anyway.These have worked wonders so far. I didn’t have high hopes but these came in clutch.🐦 They don’t like em. Birds stay tf away from my porch now even if it’s not windy. No more spraying doo doo off my porch every day 🥲🌀 It’s a fun design like an icicle, maybe a little Christmas-y. About a foot long. No more than an inch in diameter. Not super obnoxious. // my husband said he’d rather deal with bird 💩 than have the house look trashy or ghetto and he hasn’t complained so they look just fine!🪢 They come already on a stretchy string/rubber band which is convenient so no assembly there but it would be nice to have the ability to tie them to something without having to actually cut that and retie or use another string to wrap around it. Not a huge issue though.✨ Super reflective, like I said the birds don’t f with it.💪 it comes with 12 plastic rods, which are semi durable, wont break on their own but they could take damage with enough pressure. More worried about the elastic that comes with it breaking than anything else!💰 it’s about $1 a piece for a 12 ct pack which is a decent price. Though I say they’re worth more around the 50c-75c range per unit lolOverall I’m happy because the sparrows are leaving my house alone… for now 👀

It seems to me that the chrome like color is not shinny enough to reflect brightly and thus would not scare away any bird. I tried two of them in very bright sunlight and still had doves flying around our patio. The hanging elastic thread on one spinner broke with in minutes of hanging it on a hook on our patio overhang. I have packaged all 12 in a bag and am returning them today.

They seem to be effective at deterring woodpeckers BUT they wound up on the ground in less than 2 months. The cheap rubber-band like string does not hold up to the elements. I have to hire someone with a very long extension ladder to re-hang them once I figure out what kind of string or wire to use.

Didn't work as advertised, had better luck with a reflective large owl instead. I was trying to deter sparrows and doves from hanging out by the porch and pooping on the stairs. Unfortunately this didn't phase the city birds here in TX. These are pretty decor though so I'll give a star for that but they are also very light weight. Something you'd buy cheaper at the dollar tree or something. Definitely not worth a lot.

Every year when my apricot and peach and cherry trees bloom, the sparrows take delight in tearing and shredding the flowers off the trees preventing fruiting. This year, I noticed a woodpecker had made such huge holes in my cherry tree, that the little tree was dying. My neighbor recommended these sparkly twirlers and I immediately ordered them. I hung them in different heights throughout the trees. These really work! They deterred the birds from decimating my trees and now I find fruit slowly growing on them. The only issue with them is that in bad wind storms, they get tangled around the branches so I have to go out and untangle them. It's a small task when compared to the value they provide.
