Woodpecker PRO Electronic Bird Preventer, Sonic Bird Decoy Device, Perfect for Woodpeckers and Sparrows, Covers up to 1 Acre, 3-5 kHz Frequency, 6" x 8.5" x 4"

Used to have tons of bird poop on our patio each fall as we snowbird to the Phoenix area for winter. This device was recommended by our "bug guy". Totally worked! Didn't need to borrow the neighbor's power washer this year. Awesome. Feared it would bother the neighbors, but no complaints. Even helped one neighbor who was having woodpeckers drilling into their stucco.

I have to be honest. Bought several of these through the years. We have a 3-story white stucco house the woodpeckers have been eating away at for decades. We have spent thousands trying to deter them. This particular product, the manufacturer is terrific, but this purchase didn’t make my woodpeckers flinch. I keep repairing 6-inch diameter holes all over my house on the third-story they choose for their dinner. Amazon’s: Bird-X BirdXPeller® PRO Electronic Bird Repeller Version WP for Woodpeckers & Sparrows DOESN’T WORK FOR WOODPECKERS; I THREW MINE OUT! Home Depot’s: Bird-X Woodpecker Pro Electronic Bird Repeller Guaranteed Woodpecker Control Solution 1-Acre Coverage IS THE ONLY PRODUCT THAT HAS EVER WORKED IN DECADES OF WOODPECKER INFESTATION BASICALLY ALL SEASONS $199. So, as for the manufacturer, the above is ANOTHER version of this product, UNIQUE TO WOODPECKERS ONLY and it WORKS! I looked on Amazon for it, but they only have this one that perhaps suits other homeowners’ needs for other birds. Sorry Amazon, while it says it’s for woodpeckers, it is not. Especially not ‘the real McCoy’ if you have woodpeckers tearing your home into Swiss cheese. I actually threw the Amazon one out. For about the same price the one that only has ‘woodpeckers’ as it’s ONLY feature bird is the only one for woodpeckers. By the way, it says they are waterproof but they are not. We put ours in an out door cabinet on our 2nd story deck with a hole in back of the cabinet to let woodpecker sounds out and it needs to detect day from night. Being in the cabinet just means it shuts off earlier in the day than if outside. But hasn’t been an issue.

We deployed this on the side of our house where woodpeckers were doing a lot of damage. We're talking large holes all the way through our cedar wood paneling. These were the medium sized (red-bellied) wood peckers that we have here in PA. I rarely see the Pileated, but they thankfully have not been an issue. This device is certainly affective for the red-bellied woodpecker. After installing the Xpeller, the woodpeckers stopped digging into our house. After about 4 years, we noticed that they were starting up again on the other side of the house. That day, I moved the Xpeller to the problem side and again, no more woodpeckers tearing the house apart. That said, the birds are still in the trees around our home and in our yard, but they stopped damaging the house. I will get another Xpeller if they start up again on another side of our house. Definitely worth the money and it's otherwise harmless, and actually sounds pretty cool. I have never received a complaint from a neighbor.

I had 1 or 2 woodpeckers attacking the wooding siding on my house. The noise was awful, but the damage was the real concern. I tried the fake owl, hanging shiny disks, etc. Looking for that cheap easy fix. Which did NOTHING. I'd say this XPeller helped discourage and finally stop them all together. But it took some trial and error. I found instructions confusing. You actually have to set it based on types of birds you're trying to scare off using a variety of teeny tiny buttons. Also you can set it on a timer, which is helpful, but tricky to figure out. And the distressed bird noises and predator bird noise may freak out your pets, just FYI. But I would recommend. And good luck!

works pretty good once you figure out what program to use

My review is based on the same brand but with the sounds that scare off pigeons. Yes there are different models that work for different birds. This one did not help then when I read the directions I realized I had the wrong unit. I returned and purchased the correct one as well as some bird netting for my solar panels. So far after 2 weeks its working. I did purchase the external speaker so I can control everything from the ground. I highly recommend this and for the lower stars it may be you have the wrong system or you need to add a little more deterrent.

If you are buying for woodpeckers don't waste your money. This thing did absolutely nothing. Hopefully people will read this before buying.

Device was created with many options on timer as well as different types of sound to scare birds. However it does not seem to affect the pigeons on top of my roof one bit. Expected a lot from this product with such high price but had to return since it couldn’t scare away the pigeons. The pigeons weren’t even phased on bit when pointing this device toward them and turned on for several minutes.

lo colocamos para ahuyentar palomas en nuestra planta, pero no fue con exito, no las ahuyenta. gracias.
