Residential homes offer many protected perches that birds find irresistible for nesting and roosting: eaves, attics, porches, carports, sheds – the list goes on. Most people facing bird problems, whether it be pigeons, sparrows, swallows, woodpeckers, or water fowl such as coots, ducks, or geese have tried a varitey of things to deter the pests. They've used bird repellents and bird repellent sprays, bird deterents such as bird spikes, sticky bird gels, or balloons and reflective tapes. Whatever tried, most don't work, or at least don't work for long. Fly Away BMS is specifically designed to keep birds away from such areas. Fly Away BMS is long lasting, easy to use, and most importantly - it works!
Start by removing as many attractants as possible (see Understanding Birds). If you find established nests with eggs or young chicks, wait until the eggs hatch and chicks fledge, and then place a Fly Away block or two in the area. Birds will immediately lose interest in that location and stay away. Birds commonly return to the same nesting spot year after year, but with a Fly Away block or two in place, returning birds will quickly decide to find a new place for this year’s next and for every year thereafter.
To deter birds from your garden, place blocks near the plants they favor at roughly 10 feet apart along the perimeter and on stakes throughout the garden. If they’re especially persistent, increase the density of the blocks to as close as 6 feet apart. To protect fruit trees, place several blocks in each tree. Time your deployment of fresh blocks shortly before the fruit ripens, when birds begin to smell and become attracted to the harvest.
“I was having many issues with birds and other critters due to a next door neighbor who puts out many bird feeders, including ones along my property line. To date, they have 10 feeders out. The feeders are never moved or cleaned and left out year round. Hence they attract many other items besides birds, but the birds have been the messiest by far. The birds seem to sit everywhere around my home and property and always leave many presents. In addition to making nests everywhere not welcomed, they were living under our cars on our driveway leaving seed and poop all over the drive. We even had car repair bills because they and the attraction of mice to their seed were living in the engines of our cars.
When I first found out about the Fly Away BMS products, I tried a few and noticed an immediate difference. I first tried the discs, and then was told the pouches may work better, so now I use both, and added the black weather caps to avoid the rain. The difference in how many birds now visit us everywhere (to include under the car) has changed immensely. We’ve even hung a couple from under our car, and it has also helped.
I highly recommend using this product if you have pesky bird issues, but have no control over what's bringing them on your property. They do work!
Thanks Fly Away - You have made an intolerable situation much easier to handle. We are now working on getting our HOA to limit the amount of feeders on someone's property as well as placement of the feeders. We wish us luck!”
