Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bird-X TAPE-25 Irri-Tape Bird Repellent Ribbon
Customer Review: It really works!!
Summary: 4 Stars
We live on a farm and have been plagued for many years by mud swallows making their nests on our house. We would tear them down and try to rinse off the mud, which is nearly impossible, only to have them build it back in another spot almost immediately. We have an open attached garage because our garage door will no longer lower and the birds nest in the garage and even try to build nests on top of our car(which is also covered with bird poop!) There is an enormous pile of bird poop on our front porch.
This year the population of mud swallows seems to have exploded in our area. Just driving into our garage sends 20+ birds swooping down in front of the car! It reminds me of a Hitchcock movie! We haven't been extremely aggressive about getting rid of them before now because they do help keep the insect population down, but enough is enough! After reading several reviews we ordered the irri-tape and the bird-b-gone hawk.
Now for the review: The irri-tape is reflective mylar ribbon, holographic on both sides. We cut the ribbon(irri-tape) into long streamers and tied them up on each side of the entrance to our garage and the entrance on our front porch. It is highly reflective if in full sun and makes a noise when the wind is blowing. I think it is both these elements that make it effective. Just make sure you have it tied securely, we had one streamer blow away during a thunderstorm.
Immediately you could see the birds becoming agitated, flying and swooping around the garage and not landing. This went on for a couple of hours, then finally all the birds but a few flew away. The only ones that went back to the nests were the ones that still had babies in the nest to feed. As soon as the babies were able to fly, they left and haven't come back, so far.
I gave the irri-tape 4 stars instead of 5 because it does work, but I thought it a little pricey for what you get and because after a month most of the holographic reflectiveness has faded from exposure to sunshine and rain and now needs to be replaced.
Also, I think it was the combination of the irri-tape and the bird-b-gone hawk that got rid of the birds. These two work together best if you change the location of the tape and the hawk regularly to keep the birds confused or they just get used to it being in the same spot and aren't scared of it anymore.
