Bird Scare Tape - Rainbow (500' Roll)

It Works!

The best thing about this reflective tape is that it works! I find that it is the best deterrent to birds wanting to eat the fruit from my trees. I hang up tape strips with wooden clothes pins so they are easy to put up and take down. I usually make strips in lengths of about 1 to 3 feet and hang them up on branches all around the outside of the tree. This includes the bottom limbs of the tree where some strips hang almost to the ground as well as branches at the top of the tree. With 500 feet on one roll of this tape, I can afford to be generous in the placement of these strips on my 5 or 6 trees. This seems to do the trick. The birds may not like it, but at least I have my fruit! Another thing to keep in mind is that the tape strips you use in one year can be taken down and reused the next season, year after year. And remember to put them up only when birds are a threat, and take them down after harvest. You don't want birds to get used to these strips and eventually discover the non-lethal nature of these harmless strips of reflective tape! Enjoy and be thankful for your fruit!
