Bird B Gone Woodpecker Deterrent Kit - Scare Eye Balloon, 50ft Reflective Flash Tape & Mounting Brackets - Effective Woodpecker Deterrent for House - Homes, Gardens, Patios & Outdoor Structures

I have an all wood house (Wood siding, wood trim boards). For about 3 weeks, I had a woodpecker continually visiting the corner of my house, pecking about a 20' length of corner trim. It got so bad, I had to replace it. Then, he started on the opposite corner! Needless to say, I got tired of climbing 20' in the air to repaint damaged trim.So, I started searching for answers and found this. The product is incredibly simple: Basically a small yellow ball, and some ribbons. You basically attach this to your home where the birds are visiting and it will scare them away (Ribbons and balloon constantly moving, plus brightly colored). I was skeptical to say the least!However, since putting them up I have not had a single visit from my feathered friend. It's been about 3 weeks since they've been up, and still no problems. The only downside is it looks pretty gaudy having a big balloon and red stringers flying on your house, but it's worth it. The kit says to remove once the bird has relocated, but I have no idea how long that may be. I'll probably wait another week, then remove and see if anything happens.*Update* 1 week after removal, and the bird has not returned - so this product did its job!*Update* 3 weeks after removal, and bird has not returned. Definitively worked!*5 year update: It must have really scared the whole family...no woodpecker has ever returned :-DOverall, I have to give it 5 stars. It's inexpensive, and solved my problem, so I can't complain.

Immediate results and effective, but does not last long. Woodpeckers are smart and realize that it’s a decoy.

Worked for about 3 days and then the woodpecker was back. This morning I looked outside because heard rustling and he was against the house with the flash tape and balloon directly beside him, the tape bumping him and he wasn’t scared away. Our house was already checked for bugs and nothing there, the woodpecker just likes to make holes and is trying to make a nest there.Don’t waste your money on this product.

I have been using it for 3 weeks now and so far the Woodpecker has not come back. Fingers crossed this will continue to work.

Sorry product and it doesn't work .

It is okay, the small plastic eye is not designed well - it constantly flips to the wrong side and is not useful. The shiny tape is great and I would buy it separate.... I ended up cutting strips of foil and hanging it from a string and worked perfect.

We moved into a vacant home. The woodpecker in question had damaged the home so badly. It cost over 1k to replace all the siding. Then I found this thing. I herd him the first few days after I moved in. We herd him pecking at the house. After I hung up the balloon thing. He’s been gone. I haven’t seen him. I haven’t herd him. And zero new holes in my house. I will try and update in a few months. But it looks like our problem is gone. Woo hoo! Definitely try it out!2 ish months later. Still no sign of him. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m pretty happy he’s gone! I don’t miss patching up holes.

Well the good news is it scared away a woodpecker who was having a hay day on my brand new Hardie board trim - I mean why would a bird want a beak full of cement? Anyhow after trying some streamers this did the trick. Only downside is we had some wind which snapped the plastic holder and sent it flying into the woods.
