Bird-X Bird Repellent Gel, Sticky Texture, Clear, 10 Fl. Oz., Pack of 1 | For Ledges and Windowsills, Low-Profile, Discreet, Applies with Caulk Gun, Each Tube Covers 10 Feet Pigeons

Well, I’m not one typically do a review. But the complexity of this one struck a cord with me. My first hesitation was in regards to wondering if it would just melt off in our AZ heat. Saw another review that said it would not. I totally agree. It stayed put and did not get fazed by our summer heat one bit. I was so happy with results of the first tube that I ordered another one but was still a bit short even after 2. The birds were gone instantly. It was amazing. My cars were getting assaulted by the birds. Like beyond belief. It was easy to install, not visually offensive. But then about the time the 3rd tube showed up, so did the monsoons. Here is where I lost a bit of my excitement. The leaves and sticks dropping from the tree in the storms would land in the gel and then fall further onto our cars. So about 3-4 weeks in and I was totally regretting my decision. I hesitated to use the 3rd one I ordered. Birds were gone, but now I had the most sticky gel spots, all over my cars. At this point I totally regretted putting this up. A few more weeks passed and I started to get a little bit of bird droppings again in one spot. I ventured up into the tree to find one area I didn’t get very well. I also noticed that most of the gel had a nice coating of very small debris, bugs and other fun stuff. I had also noticed the amount of gel hitting the cars had slowed way down as well. So I decided to go ahead and use the 3 tube on the spot I missed, and the other areas I hadn’t done. That was about 3 weeks or so ago. Still not getting much at all of the gel coated leaves and sticks coming down. At this point I’m torn, I don’t know if I would go this route or try using the spikes. The other down fall is as the branches grow down they blow and get into the gel also, so then when I trim anything in that area, I’m getting to a bit of a sticky mess. I don’t really regret it at this point. But the ease of install up front, kind of lost its shine by the mess after. I think this stuff is awesome and definitely works if you know what your in for. Pros: Easy to use. Works great at keeping the birds away. Not visibly noticeable. Cons: Sticky is an understatement. It’s a mess if you touch it or gets on what you don’t want it on. Once it’s installed, it’s a (near impossible) mess to remove. It does not go very far. My larger tree branch’s needed multiple beads. 10’ then turns in 5’ or even into 2.5’ on the really thick areas. Trimming the tree and regrowth into the gelled areas is a mess.

This stuff works. I was skeptical but I did what the directions said to do, which was to clean the area where the birds had been pooping. They would sit on our patio fan and our roll out awning which covered our patio but not anymore. We spread the substance on our fan cage and on the arms of our roll out awning. It’s been almost 2 weeks and we haven’t had a sparrow or a swallow sitting anywhere around our patio. Yay !…..

The package was delivered in time and the price was good. I used this product couple of years ago along with other deterrents, and it worked very well. This time I used metal spikes instead of this gel because I had a lot to buy and I wanted a longer-term solution. I decided to return it and. to my surprise I am finding out that the vendor is charging me $6.90 for UPS return shipping although it was mentioned it has "free returns". I would definitely avoid buying anything from this vendor.

Works. No more birds on my window ledge.

I don't exactly know what I hoped this would be like-- maybe tacky but not super sticky, just enough to annoy the birds who keep trying to build a nest above my retractable awning over and over and over? Maybe if I'd been able to squirt it in lines, it wouldn't have been a disaster, but I couldn't fit the caulking gun into the space I needed, so I inserted it in and hoped for the best. However, once the stuff finally started coming out, it kept dribbling out, making big gobs of the stuff where I was putting it. It was annoying to get off my hands (yes, I should have worn gloves), but some olive oil and dish-soap did the trick. BUT then one of the birds got stuck in it. The more it struggled, the more glue it got on it. We eventually got it out of the space and then spent time trying to wash the gel off of its feathers. Sure, I've been detesting these finches all spring, but I never wanted to doom one to death. This morning, we can't find it anywhere, so I'm HOPING we did enough that it'll be okay but also so scarred that it won't come back. In short, don't use this if you don't want to hurt the birds!

This gel really did the job. For months I had 2 birds coming to our window, trying to make the outside terrace their home. No matter what I did and how many times I scared them away, they came back. I applied the gel to the entire perimeter (it's a small little hole outside the window), and it was so sticky that it was still on their feet for 2-3 days. They tried to get around it and find a corner but eventually I covered everything. They eventually gave up and I have not seen them for days. This thing is seriously a life saver. The only con is that it was pretty difficult to get the gel out and requires patience. I don't know if it was my caulk gun, the thickness, or the size of the poke I made to the seal, but it takes a while to come out of the bottle. I had to use a small screwdriver to poke through it several times. If your screwdriver or needle gets full of the gel, use goo gone on it and it will be back to normal. Overall amazing product, definitely gets rid of them. Some reviews said it killed their birds, mine were too smart to go fully into it, but their feet definitely got some gel on it permanently. Would recommend.

I bought this product because I have issues with brown squirrels climbing my fence, to get to my house to get in my attic. I read another review where the person had the same issue and this item worked for them so I gave it a try. First the good: Since applying it on my fence I have not see any squirrels in my attic or attempt to climb the fence. So from that standpoint the product works. The Bad is that the tube is hard to open and the directions on the tube are somewhat lacking. First it is hard to cut off the end of the tube, and secondly there is foil in the tube that needs to be penetrated in order for the product to come out of the tube (but it never mentions that on the directions). The Ugly: Even though so far it has worked to keep squirrels away, it has killed lots of insects and smaller animals. 1 day after applying it, I found count less insects dead in the stuff, as well as several lizards and salamanders. They get stuck and are not strong enough to get out. It doesn't matter if you apply it in a line or in tear shaped beads, it will still trap small insects, etc. In summary, it works and I would probably buy it again but I hope this gives you the full picture of what to expect when you use it.

So far so good. The owls, didn't work! The spikes work but now the birds are hovering over our door and pooping everywhere. So we got this and so far no poop. I'm glad we got this because we were running outta options.

La verdad sí funciona. Tenía problema con palomas que se paraban siempre en el mismo lugar y lo que más me molestaba era que siempre tenía sucio y manchado mi pintura de casa… desde que apliqué el gel dejaron de regresar. Es fácil de colocar, es transparente y no se nota una vez aplicado. No es dañino, solo les resulta incómodo posarse ahí, así que buscan otro lugar. En mi caso sí cumplió lo que promete. Lo voy a volver a comprar para otra parte de mi casa.

If you chose to use this to stop the birds from nesting under your roof tiles then instead of putting it directly on your guttering (creates a fly trap) put it in a little dish cut from plastic bottle. This stuff works a treat but has to be reapplied frequently, 3 weeks roughly.

I had bought it as I have a severe pigeon problem in my balconies. I have applied it but there is absolutely no effect on the pigeons. In fact they freely sit on the gel

Buen producto por lo menos no se posan las palomas

ممتاز جدا انا جربته على البيت كمل سنة وماشي حمام الى الان. ومب خسارة.
