From the Manufacturer

THE BIRD-X DIFFERENCE: Bird-X has been the leading brand of safe and humane bird and pest control products for over 50 years. Based in Chicago, IL, our products are tested by experts over time and are continuously improved upon as new technologies become available. Offering a complete line of unique pest control products, we stand behind the efficacy of our solutions and provide excellent customer support. If you experience any problems with your Bird-X products, please email us through the form found at http://www.bird-x.com/contact-pages-31.php or call our offices at 800.662.5021. This type of pest control is popular because it is non-toxic, safe, easy-to-use, and often very effective. Products which use ultrasound to deter pests can NOT be as successful in all cases as dangerous poisons or expensive physical barriers. They DO work well enough that many people find them preferable to any other type. Any pest control product which deters live animals with unpleasant sensations will encounter some occasions when the pests are too stubborn and the incentive too great (food etc.)

Bird-X Balcony Gard Ultrasonic Bird Repeller

Protect open spaces from pest birds

Open spaces often seem impossible to protect, as pest birds can avoid the most common traps and deterrents. Fortunately, electronic bird deterrent devices produce extremely effective audio and visual threats that frighten, irritate and disorient birds — forcing them to seek calmer, untreated areas. Electronic bird repeller products condition pest birds to stay away from treated areas and never return.

  • Electronic bird control devices are easy to install and start repelling pest birds instantly
  • Electronic bird repellents cover areas where use of physical barriers or visual scares may not be ideal
  • Electronic bird repellers are long-lasting and require little to no maintenance
  • Simply install and switch on the product for effective results that can last for years with proper use
  • Electronic bird control is humane

Bird-X Balcony Gard Ultrasonic Bird Repeller

Perfect for Residential Areas

The ultrasonic device is nearly silent to the human ear. Although you are not able to hear the sounds, the soundwaves cause unwanted pests to become annoyed and seek calmer areas.

This quiet, yet effective product helps to eliminate the problem without creating a nuisance for other residents and neighbors.

Easy to Control

Settings are available to adjust volume, sound range, and continuous or motion-activated modes. The Balcony Gard can be installed and mounted nearly anywhere with the ability to protect up to 900 square feet.

Forces out Various Pests

Effectively repels pigeons, crows, blackbirds, sparrows, starlings, swallows, grackles, ducks, gulls, rodents, bats, and more.

Able to be used in multiple locations such as balconies, porches, driveways, yards, rooftops, pools, gardens, and more. The possibilities are nearly endless to protect your property from unwanted pests.

Reduces Risks

Lowers the health risk associated with pest infestation, eliminates fire hazards caused by bird nesting upon vents and chimneys, and protects home-grown foods from destructive animals.

I have so many woodpeckers eating away at the corners of my house that I was desperate to find something that would work. I ordered THREE of these units ($40 a pop means I wasted over $120 on this crap.) I placed two of the three units on the different parts of my house that was having the worst woodpecker problems and figured maybe I needed to wait a few weeks to see if the devices would stave off the pests. Sadly, after all that time of seeing the devices FAIL and then the return window passing me by, the woodpeckers haven't budged and only continue to damage my home. I didn't even open one of the packages/units but can't return that now that the month return window is over. Literal epitome of a waste of time and money. BUYER BEWARE!

3.0 out of 5 stars It makes noise.
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2013
Verified Purchase
It didnt' work as I expected it would . As the box says it works on the bad birds. The birds that are disrupting my neighborhood are robins which are good birds. I pointed it at one in my yard,went through the adjustments and it didn't have a problem with the noise. At some higher frequency levels, the noise can be heard by the human ear and is very loud. So, I'd say (as a joke) it will keep humans out of my yard.

Quality wise, the exterior is of high grade plastic, quite tough. However, the rubber backing that doubles a s a mount causes the unit to be it's weakest link. The rubber slips into the back and then that is mounted like a clock on a few screws mounted to something. If you bump into it, it will fall off. A high wind could easily knock it off it's mounting location. I'd rather see a stronger mounting solution.

Conclusion: My unit didn't work on good destructive birds. It's mounting fixture is weak.

I live on the 17th floor and pigeons have been ruining my terrace... my outdoor carpet..and my patio furniture... thank goodness I have covers...otherwise the damage would be worse. Last year - pigeons laid an egg under my chairs and unfortunately after reading many web pages - I took heed and discarded the egg. I felt awful doing it - but didn't want the situation to become worse..

WELL! those same pigeons returned again this year - and the assault on my outdoor space has been constant. They fly in at 5:30am and continually through the day... trying to nest..and mate... bringing leaves...and twigs... I have many terraces above mine and to the side - which are neglected...but thankully I have someone at home to help shoo them off - but who want's to shoo pigeons all day? - Went on vacay for 1 week - and nearly cried upon return to see the mess that was left. I ordered the scare tape - IT DOESNT work. I ordered plastic spikes and installed on the ledge - I thought it worked for a few days - but NOPE- those buggers FLEW OVER the spikes and had a hayday all over the place - and I've personally watched them carefully fly over the spikes. NYC pigeons are not normal. They are beasts.

Plugged this in - and it has been 5 days total - with not ONE pigeon on my terrace.. nor next door to the attached terrace *which they often frequent.. nor the one above mine... So I'm PRAYING this keeps working.
The spikes are still glued to my ledge... the scare tape is still taped all around - making my well decorated terrace look like a shanty town.. but oh well... anything to keep them far!

I have the setting on LOW....and its plugged into an outdoor socket.
I recommend this....
I don't hear a buzzing sound... perhaps I'm deaf after having a son and listening to crying.. but I don't hear what other reviewers discuss below.. perhaps on HIGH - it will be more audible.

If I'm attacked again - I will update you guys.

I really like this one. I bought another brand last year, I had issues with it all summer. Bought this one in early March and have had zero issues with birds on my front porch. Just bought one for my back porch. Plus this one is cheaper (quite a bit) than the last brand.

Pigeons will do everything possible to re-nest an area once they establish a nest. We live in Florida and last year an iguana attacked a pigeon nest on our balcony leaving bird feathers/bones and droppings. (It was pretty gruesome.) We cleaned up the mess (as directed by Fish & Wildlife pros) and covered everything to keep the pigeons from re-nesting. This year we researched pigeon deterrents and ordered the ultra sonic bird x-balcony guard. Despite our efforts the same pigeon pair was determined to make a new nest in another space. After eliminating this nest within a week the same pair of birds made a fourth nest!!!... all this while the Bird X was up and running. They were NOT deterred. Currently have a slew of other products outside that has kept birds at bay.

This Product does Not work to Repel Birds. I've been doing some Empirical Testing, with the help of the manufacture and related to birds; it simply doesn't work. I have internal Emails from company representative that indicates that this product is designed more for yard pest, than Birds. I'm also going to be recommending to Amazon Product Manager that this product be discontinued until Name, Advertising, Box/Carton and all Documentation reflects its stated purpose dealing with yard pest and all references to birds be removed from same, before it's placed back on their site. Sorry, if others have had issues with this product, I'm assuming it was never FTC reviewed, as I've had past dealing with them and they would Not have missed this.

Effaroucheur c'est fait pour effaroucher (quand ça marche)
D'abord la notice est en américain ce qui est contradictoire aux normes européennes (notice dans la langue du pays)
Ensuite, la prise du transfo d'alimentation est aux normes US donc obligation d'acheter un adapteur US/UE (3€)
Après achat de l'adaptateur le transfo d'alimentation cesse de fonctionner après 2heures d'utilisation donc obligé de commander chez Manomano un transfo aux mêmes caractéristiques (5€).
Après installation l'appareil fonctionne 2 jours puis s'arrêt a nouveau. le transfo n'est pas en cause mais l'appareil lui même.
Donc décision de retourner l'appareil (a Las Végas) 31€ de port . Donc aujourd'hui j'exige le remboursement de cet appareil de qualité très médiocre ainsi que le cout du transport de réexpédition.
120€ de dépensé pour un appareil qui n'est pas fiable. En cas de refus de votre part cette commande aura été la dernière et les réseaux sociaux verront ma présence assidue

1.0 out of 5 stars Expensive for something so ineffective
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 20, 2012

We have been troubled by House Martins nesting in our open garage; I had already tried steel netting on the purlin and so was pretty desperate.

The item looks like something made up at home from bits bought at Radio Shack. I wish I had seen the research that suggested that birds are troubled by ultra-sonic noise, as my friends must be deaf. If it works at all then, if you can hear the sound, perhaps maybe some birds can also.

You twiddle a knob at the back until it is at its loudest. Being an enclosed space you might expect this product to work better. The IR detector can see me approaching pretty easily but while set in this mode, every bird in the neighbourhood seemed to visit, presumably without triggering, so it is now set permanently on. This means that we have now only the odd 6-8 birds messing up the cars.

Over time the pitch of the noise changes so it needs to be adjusted frequently. If it were £20, it might be worth a punt; at this price it is just too expensive to try.

As a back-up plan, I also bought a large decoy Falcon; that is not effective either.

Perhaps birds are just not as dumb as we humans are gullible.
