Bird B Gone MMSWALLOW Swallow Shield, Clear

Amazingly difficult to see even although just above my front door, so pleased with that. Swallows don't like it and have disappeared 🙂

Works very well and is invisible so does not interfere with the look of your home. Easy to install with the sticky pads and feels secure.

These don't work its just piece of plastic and fishing line the house Martins just fly through it and build there nest in it they definitely don't work I bought 3 of them and took them down there no use at all.

The fast delivery is all I can give this item. Swallows are still building nests within the area, it doesn't seem to be stopping them at all.

Sadly this product didn’t work. The swallows built a nest behind it !! Persistent little chaps !!

I was skeptical about these from previous reviews but they have worked great for me. I live on the third floor of my apartment building and have a big balcony. I put one in each corner of the ceiling and they hate these things. The swallows fly in and get flustered by the strings hanging down and leave instantly. It was easy to install and maintain.

My neighbours and I share a breezeway, and we had barn swallows relentlessly trying to build their nests in it. Boy, these birds are dirty - leaving droppings and mud everywhere. They can also be aggressive, dive-bombing people near their nests. We tried everything and finally these worked! We managed to enjoy the last couple months of nice weather in peace. We stuck them to the ceiling near the brick wall. The birds stay away now. If you have barn swallow problems, don't think twice, just get these.

We have barn swallows that like to build nests under our eaves and around our porch support posts. For the most part we enjoy having them there to help keep down the insect population. They are aerial insectivores, catching their prey while flying. This includes a variety of insects such as flies, beetles, wasps, wild bees, winged ants. They also consume moths, damselflies, grasshoppers, and other insects, as well as some spiders and snails. However, they also like to attempt to expand their neighborhood every spring by adding new nests. And that is where we draw the line. We have found that these strips of plastic with clear monofilament line and an adhesive surface to attach them have proven to be very effective at limiting their expansion to unwanted areas of our porch. They effectively prevent them from landing on the parts of the porch we want to keep clear by confusing them when their wings hit the clear lines hanging down about 10 inches from the surface. In order to build their mud and grass nests, they need to be able to land to build the nest. I can highly recommend them as a natural, non-harmful, effective way to control access to areas you want to protect from them building upon. The strips are very durable and the stickiness of the adhesive they use is very good, having survived the heat and cold of central Texas for over 3 years since we started using them. This makes them a very good value for the money in my opinion.

They do not work for bats. We bought several and put them side by side. The bats do not care and crawl up under/behind the strings. And they keep falling down as well so I would recommend screwing them in if you are going to try them. Personally found them to be a waste of money.

We had issues with barn swallows, and had such trouble keeping them away. This took care of the problem instantly. It's been about a month and they aren't back.
