Bird B GoneSwallow Shield - Transparent 3"x11" Adhesive Strips (2 Pack) - Nesting Deterrent for Eaves & Overhangs - Humane & Virtually Invisible - Easy to Install - Repels Swallows & Bats

I bought these over a year ago and they work great! I literally saw a bird that was trying to nest under my eaves fly away the moment is saw/felt the strings. Big bonus that it is hardly visible.

This product gets one star for each full day it kept the swallows away. Once they figured out what I had done, they were back to building their nest. They flew through it like it wasn't even there.

Unless you have experienced the frustration of swallows who have decided your house is theirs no matter what you do, you might not get it……..but this product is life changing. For the past few years they have repeatedly built their nests right over the door of my side porch. From May to September they are there. Constantly having to clean the porch of their nest materials. Poop all over the ledges and porch. Messy windows. I have repeatedly knocked down nests in the morning to have them fully rebuilt hours later. And the nests stain and are impossible to remove without scrubbing/power washing. Fake owls, whirly gigs, spikes, shiny discs. Nothing worked more than a day or two before they were back AND they all looked awful. I’d tried everything else so went looking (again) and found BirdBGone. I ordered enough to line over the door of the covered porch to try it out. I am a 66 year old woman who standing on a step ladder affixed the panels to the ceiling easily by myself using the attached adhesive. The clear panels blend in nicely to the painted ceiling and the monofilament brushes by the front of the door ledge. Up close it doesn’t stand out but if you look up you notice the line. Once you get a few feet away it blends in nicely. For the rest of the day the birds drove themselves crazy trying to fly at the ledge, encountering the fishing line, and flying off. Could it truly be this easy after all these years? They gave up on the door and stayed on the adjacent window. I immediately ordered enough to do it as well. Next day I had it covered and one month later not a single bird has settled (or pooped) on the porch! All remnants of the nests have been scrubbed away and it has remained that away. FYI we live in the Midwest where we have had several weeks recently of 100° temperatures. The panels are just as securely attached as the day they were installed. I will never be without this product!

These seemed to work good for the first couple of weeks. Trying to think like a bird here I theorize the swallows got used to them. Some of the nylon line's ended up being built right into their mud nests. The shallows ended up sticking around. We finally made a couple of changes to our program but continued to use the strips. It has been almost 2 weeks now. No more mess. I would definitely purchase these again.

We have battled barn swallows for the past 5 years but not since purchasing these!! It has completely deterred them.

I bought tons of products to deter swallows and this one seems to be the only one that is working. I bought two packs and hung them above window and door ledges. The swallows will not land on the ledges with these there. There are still landing and rebuilding nests everywhere else where this product was not installed but where we hung these they are not landing. So the product (the strings) really are deterring them. But it only works where you have it of course. Very simple easy install, just peel off and stick up, very thick double sided tape that looks like it’ll hold awhile. They are very short in width so we had to use 4 per window or door. Would be nice if they were wider or had more in a pack. Would also be helpful if they made different lengths, these are very short. So it does work where you have them but nowhere else.

I purchased this product to keep the swallows from perching over my front entry door. I was at my very end as I have tried everything else and nothing worked at all. I tried the fake owls and rubber snakes, the mirror like discs that you hang, the bird scare tape and even the bird away spray. I will assure you that none of these items worked at all but when I hung this product, it worked immediately. I was mad at myself for not trying it sooner and spending all of the other money I had spent on useless products. The birds will no longer sit on the top of my door ledge but however, they have now moved to sit on the top of the front porch light. Since this product is really close to fishing wire/line, I'm now going to buy a roll of that to make something that will keep them off the light.... should be an easy fix. If you are having issues with birds trying to nest, you should get this, it really worked for me when nothing else did.

The birds absolutely did not care about this! They built a nest right after I put it up. Barn swallows are like honeybadgers.
