Has anyone tried...Will it work for blue jays?

........never tried it specifically on Blue Jays. But not sure if they "see" the same as other birds or not. This tape for the price worked for me. I purchased one package and cut it to 2.5' lengths and hung it all over a carport I park in. No bees, no birds or bird mess on my truck and no bats !

Sandra, We have found it can work for most any bird in this size range. The key seems to be where you want to use it and how big of an area you need to protect. So if you have a bluejay landing on a window sill and its "attacking" its own reflection that it sees in your window, this will keep them away. Just hang it where they're actively landing and they'll stay away for good. But if you have them flying in your back yard and hope that setting 1-2 ribbons out in a few areas of your land will keep them off your property, I don't think you'll get a positive result.

We don't have chipmunks but it has absolutely positively worked for squirrels. When our feeders get low and there isn't as much seed on the ground, they really start to find ways to get up there. The only time one got up there is when he jumped straight up from the ground. I watched and was amazed. But since we have one squirrel proof feeder that works, his weight triggered the closing mechanism. We have another squirrel proof feeder that doesn't work, but it's higher off the ground so no squirrel has yet jumped up to it. Moral of the story: if you have really determined and gymnastic squirrels, get a higher shepherd's hook to hang it from. There are no trees, roofs nor wires near enough to our feeder from which the squirrels can jump. I have had peaceful bird watching since the baffle and recommend it highly!!!!

I have mine set to feed cardinals but so far no larger bird. If you want to feed bluebirds they love suet with mealworm or peanut suet. The only time I see a blue bird is when I have that out. I don't try to feed bluejays since they are aggressive toward other birds. The one you are asking about, I have seed cardinal eat from it but it's hard for them. the 1024 is better because it comes with a cardinal ring when make it easier for them to eat. The finch feed only feeds finches and no wasted seed. Of course thistle is the only seed that should go in in it. Finches love it.

John, If you purchase a properly working unit, yes it will work on squirrels. I had a Coleman brand that worked excellently on everything;birds,squirrels,cats and people. Yes, even people. The kids out in the alley could hear my unit and did not like it. You should be able to hear it with your human ears. If the Bird-X YG sound is LOUD enough, it should work on most critters. Test it on yourself. At full blast you shoud be able to hear it AND IT SHOULD IRRITATE YOU. If it irritates you, it WILL irritate them (squirrels)! My cat would take off flying when I turned it on in the house. I wish you the best.

It's hard to say, but I'd give it a try. Be sure to move it to different locations every few days. Birds are smart and will eventually catch on that it's a decoy. Good luck!

Sorry, not sure what your question is. But if you want to use that to get your neighbors dog to stop barking, I really do not think it will work. It barely worked while less than a foot away from my dog's ears. At some point, they became immune to it and we went with a different option. But the option we went with requires a collar, and spray into the dogs face area of citronella smell. Works wonders!! I hope I answered your question, if not please let me know and I will respond.

Yes, I have one and it works. I had problems with the mic cutting out but resolved it by turning off the Dual Blue tooth pairing: Go into pairing mode (long press call button) when in pairing mode press the volume down button until the pairing light blinks three times. This sorted out the mic cutting out issue I had. I have lots of blue tooth devices and perhaps it was trying to pair with one of them?

I doubt if it works for anything. I could not get a response from any animal that I tried it on. Wild ducks,deer song birds ETC. Don't let the brand name fool you.

Depends on the weight. The perch has 3 spring loaded settings which adjust the weight at which the perch tips down. Large birds like blue jays still have trouble since the distance from the perch to the seed openings is small. The springs could probably be shortened which would decrease the tipping weight. Like I said this unit is ineffective for squirrels as the hang on one side and reach around to the other.

I purchased this for woodpeckers and blue jays but so far no luck. I do have a large baffle to detour the squirrels. It has been to rainy to put it back out to see if I can attract the birds I am hoping to see

Yes!!!!! It totally works. I love this tool. I have a yorkiepoo and a chipoo and it's doing wonders for them.

No, it does not work at all. It created more of a problem then we had in the first place. If you have a couple of roaches here and there, if you use this device, you will have hundreds. It calls them into the house somehow and then they breed. We could not figure out why our minor issue grew into such a big problem. We called the manufacturer and they told use that we'd see a slight increase, but then it would die down. He was correct on the increase, but it did not die down until we pulled the units out of the walls and trash them. It even created a swarm in our lawn. It all stopped once the units were gone.

Yes, it will work on blueberry maggot, which is a closely related species. I have found that using a very thin coat of tangletrap eliminates the catching of most larger insects and small birds which can happen when there's too much sticky.
