I have a problem with owls, and have lost many cats, a rooster and even a goose to owls. Do you think this will help protect my animals?

it has worked for me but you need to get it up 15" in the air. one facing each direction is what i have. lost many ducks before i got these(and raised to 15') and none after 4 years now. i worked with nite guard to get it right.

I don't know for sure. I believe these must work on some species of predators or there wouldn't be any positive feedback. All I do know is that they definitely do NOT work on the deer in North Central Washington. They may work on owls but the instructions say you have to put "four lights mounted 10-14 feet in the air on a single post with each light facing a different direction".

We have only used it for deer and it does not stop deer. I do not think it will help with owls but I have not had any experience with owls so cannot be sure. AW HSB

I have also had problems with owls, but I dont think this light will help. I do think it has helped with foxes. My suggestion for the owls though is to cover your run with chicken wire, or netting. Do you lock up your chickens and geese at night? I also moved my coop and run towards the corner of my yard where I have lots of tree cover and that has seemed to "hide" them better from hawks and owls, both of which have taken my chickens.

I rather doubt if any type of night-flashing light positioned at walking predator eye-level will stop a Owl.

Doubt it would work, Best to screen in the fowles, Cats are on the move at night....any possibility would require the devise to be attached to the cat...bad idea it could hang up on something and strangle the cat.

I doubt it. Skunks and raccoons walk around the cute little machine. I put it on the steps of my deck. Sorry...

I would check with your vet because I am not sure if it should be used on birds. It is an excellent quality item with a low and high speed.

I don't know about cats. I tried different frequencies and still lost all but two of my laying hens and one duck to a mink. I originally had nine hens and thirteen ducks. I finally ran over the mink's den with my bush hog and he left the country.

I can't be sure about that, I can say that most wild birds are NOT deterred by my Yardgard. It should work on cats though.

I guess it would keep vultures off things but i would remove the dead animal that is atracting them to your area before purchasing the spikes. You may not need them after that, just thinking. : )

Once they try landing where it is placed they won't come back. It also seems as though the other pigeons "learn" to stay away. About 2 years ago I placed it on an eave in front of my son's room where their noises bothered him during naps and they have not returned since. I did not need to reapply it. Don't bother with the fake owls. Pigeons were sitting next to them after a week.

No, I don't think it would work. It helps the fight against pests, but it only helps the fight, it doesn't prevent them from coming in.

I think it would work to confine your cat, but if you have concerns about a predator animal attacking the cat, I don't think this netting would protect it. It did seem to be very effective though this past summer in preventing deer from raiding my small veggie garden. I would be very careful at first to make sure the cat didn't freak out and entangle itself in the material as the other commenter described. I could see where certain cats could do this.

squirrels and rabbits should. be in fear if you have a decent aim. pigeons hit the barnfloor as fast as gravity can pull them. no holes in the roof if you miss. raccoons and Skunks will be a problem. Opossums ack like you killed them I'm not sure about cats would definitely make them think seriously about digging in the flower beds. some of those nasty old Toms can take a pretty good beating and come back for more. it is far quieter than. a .22 with suppressor. neighbors woun't know you are shotting in town should work well for Crow reduction. Happy Hunting.

It doesn't affect the birds...I use minds to warn off rabbits and squirrels...the birds still come within the area where the boxes covers...

I would have to say no it does not! I have 3 of these owls hanging around my back yard and the birds still come to my feeders even the doves. I purchased these thinking they would keep the squirrels out the pecan trees, but that is not happening either. Hope this helps you!!

Yes it does a wonderful job keeping the large birds out. I dont have Magpies, but they appear to be similar in size to Black Birds. They will hang on the outside for a while and try to get in but finally give up. The smaller birds actually get comfortable enough to crawl through that outside layer of wire and will move around inside near the food.

The crows in our yard do not seem to be affected by my Hawk Decoys--also the smaller birds still attack my fruit trees!!! I also have some owls with rotating heads and they do not help either

Yes. We have birds and it has helped keep the dust down. We actually own two. We wash the one not in use and let it dry and always have an extra to put in.

Hello. I purchased this unit to drive strays from my backyard. (Which didn't work by the way). There aren't any deers, squirrels or chipmunks where I live so I'm unable to comment. But according to the yard sentinel website, this device is designed to repel both domestic and wild animals.

Not sure I think it depends on the bird your trying to scare. I am using mine on woodpeckers. The owl did nothing! The metallic tape works the best!
