Bird B Gone - Bird Spider 360 Repellent - Deters Seagulls and Other Birds from Landing - Durable Weatherproof Design - for Boats, Docks, Roofs, Etc - Easy Installation - with PVC Base - 2ft

Works great so far. Hardly any birds now.

On the surface this seems to be a good idea. I've tried many ways to keep the seagulls off my sailboat. Electronis "bird repellers", scarey owl and hawk decoys, and reflective objects don't work. Strings, arranged a few inches above a surface seem to disseade the gulls from landing but are a nucence to rig and un-rig each boat use. These "spyders" should and seem to act like strings and are easier to deploy and put away. No gulls have landed on the areas covered by the spyders. Mounting them is a problem. There are not enough options offered and you will have to work out a way that keeps the upright, free of entanglement and on the boat in swells and storms without permanent, obstructice, mounting brackets. Unfortunatly this eight foot model has lost, in its first six weeks, half of its arms. They have broken off a quarter inch from the base. The four foot one, just bought, does not "turn in the wind" as promised. The actual construction needs improvement. When contacted by their site e-mail they called back the next day. The called knew only that I had e-mailed, but had no idea what I had said. After i described the problem he first said six weeks was beyond their "trial period" and thus no replacement, but offered another at his "basre price". He suggested using "crazy glue to re-attach the stainless steel wires to the plastic base"; he did not know it was held together with a nut. As I said, great idea but not well engineered. The same idea could be offered in strips for boat edges but is not.

We duct taped the product into low ceramic bowls, and filled with rocks, so they would be low to the dock. Our regular dock sitting ducks hide them with suspicion and have not been on the dock since. it is early days now, we will see how they were going forward. Our idea with the ceramic bowls was so we could move them around the dock as needed. Other items we have used, such as owl statues, etc.. Have not worked. In fact, the ducks climb to the dock and sleep right next to them. So far we are pleased, and the “spiders” look interesting on the dock.

I use this to keep terns and cormorants off the boom of my sailboat. It works. The legs of the spider are very long, which means that they flex in the wind - and i have has a problem with them breaking off at the base due to metal fatigue. That said, I can't think of anything else which would work as well to keep the birds and bird poop off the boat..

I have tried other methods without success. So far after about 2 months this seems to be working.

Muy buena calidad y excelente servicio del vendedor

Purchased 2, 8 ft. spiders for a boat lift canopy on a lake. Installed these on the sand filled base from Bird B Gone. It is an absolute must to secure the base or you will lose the spider overboard in almost any wind. Neither of my spiders turned in the wind as advertised. The mounting spindle binds with the base at the bottom because the bottom of the base isn't rigid enough to hold the spider properly upright. My spiders easily flop around in the base in breezes. The spiders worked for seagulls, however they will land in any space not covered by the spiders. Had a 18 -20 mph blow between fronts and one spider broke open and dumped most of the arms into the lake. This is a poorly designed, poorly tested, unreliable product. It is overly priced and does not perform and hold up as advertised. I reached out to customer service to ask if my device is repairable, and got no response.

I bought 3 to guard my spa which is attached to my pool. These are extremely expensive as are most pest repellants. I spent $150ish on the three and found that they want to sell me a base to keep them from falling over; or I can drill holes in the lovely porcelain tiles or buy their very expensive stands which are large and not pretty. The wind lands them in my pool often enough, but they seem to discourage the pigeons from landing and pooping in my pool. Mind you, 2 of the 3 broke when they fell into the water... it's water! I had to glue them back together. I had to take them apart to do it. Once apart, they are a great challenge to get back together. I finally glued each wire into it's lovely slot and screwed on the top. Wha-la! Fixed! I also attached them to my lovely porcelain tiles with my hot glue gun. My state has mighty windstorms, not gentle ones. Also, I think the pigeons may have learned how to dunk them. They're not too bright, but they are super determined! I'd have sent them back except they do seem to be the only thing I've found that repels very large thirsty pigeons. (We also put a birdbath in the front yard to distract them from the pool).

IT WORKS GREAT AND KEEPS THE SEAGULLS OFF MY BOAT

Présentation mensongere. Il est question de 6 unites alors que dans le colis une seule est présente. Beaucoup trop cher pour un morceau de plastique.

Dreht sich nicht wie beschrieben, selbst bei Sturm wird hier nicht viel passieren.

Everything it advertises is correct,, just make sure you purchase one that is big enough, as that is key!

I bought two of these to stop pigeons perching on our new pergola. They worked immediately, and continue to do the job. They were easy to fit and cheaper, less visually intrusive and quicker to install than rows of spikes. Unfortunately I broke one of the bases during installation, but the company very kindly send me a free replacement base: I had to pay postage, but I was happy to do that. Service was quick and efficient. Recommended!
