Permalink Birds Disrupting Your Yard or Home? Bird Irator to the Rescue!
Birds: beautiful to look at, sweet to listen to, but often pests when it comes to gardeners and homeowners.
Property owners have used many ways and options over the years to deter birds from destroying trees, gardens and homes.
Birds though seem to have memories better than elephants, because more often than not, even if shooed away they will come back. So what can you do to fix the problem once and for all if you experience it?
Enter Bird Irator. A product available at InventHelpStore.com.
The Bird Irator consists of 16 stainless steel discs (and silicone rings to protect them), 8 hooks with split ring connected and 8 3-ring connectors(split ring & jump ring & split ring).
Easy to put together simply slide the silicone ring onto the stainless steel disc, slide the split ring that's on the hook into the upper hole of the disc. Then slide one split ring from the connector into the lower hole of the disc and the other split ring from the connector onto the top hole of another disc.
Altogether your kit will make 8 Bird Irator units. Here is one of the units assembled (of course you would hang it from your trees, or elsewhere around your yard or home to deter birds, and not on an office chair!).
We don't have any fruit trees or a garden. Actually, we live in a condominium unit on the second floor. Our problem lies in the Barn Swallows who nest on the sprinkler head on our balcony.
While I'm sure no fire codes are being broken, we can't take the chance of them dislodging the wick and setting it off. So far we have tried hanging cds (which our assembly and hooking have been too flimsy to keep up amid strong winds), and with a spray (which incidentally is not poisonous to the birds, but washes off in the rain), neither which much success. Right now our best course of action is checking the sprinkler head every day to make sure the birds just aren't building on it, which works if we're home, but not so much when we're traveling.
We generally only have the problem in spring when they are first building their nests, so I'm eager to see if the Bird Irator keeps them away. For our sake, and for theirs ☺. Tune in next spring for part two of this post....
