  • Reflective Tape





Because birds primarily rely on their eyesight, visual bird repellents are one of the most efficient ways to keep birds off your land and away from your crops and livestock. They do have a sense of smell, but they are significantly more likely to be terrified and detect a visual change in the surroundings than they are to notice a different aroma. Visual bird repellent will help 

Gardeners, chicken owners, and homeowners can all benefit from reflective scare tape. It isn't limited to a single breed of bird or a certain type of problem. Reflective tape is efficient if you want them away from your crops or if you live in the city and want to keep the birds off your outdoor space, so you don't have to clean it all the time.
