Previously, the best bird repeller was an ordinary scarecrow made from improvised materials. But the birds themselves did not even suspect that a strange structure in the garden or in the field was designed to cause panic in them. Modern devices work differently, and affect the natural features of birds, while not harming their health and psyche.
There are many different devices on the market that act on individual receptors, and it is difficult to say which option is better or worse. Our rating includes tools that can be divided into three categories:
- ultrasonic;
- biometric;
- visual.
The first two repellers work through sound, but with varying degrees of impact. The third category includes artificial scarecrows, but not those that were used before, but modern ones that can really scare a bird and make it never fly to your site again. The choice of a repeller depends on personal preferences and specific requirements. For example, devices from the first two categories require connection to the network or batteries, which is not always convenient, and requires, albeit infrequently, but control. And scarecrows do not require maintenance at all. Just install them in the right place, and forget about uninvited feathered guests.
The best ultrasonic bird repellers
The hearing of birds is arranged differently and differs from the human. Birds hear much more sounds and at a frequency inaccessible to people. It is on this observation that the ultrasonic repellent system is built. Devices of this type are speakers, from which special sounds are constantly pouring out, forcing intruders to fly away from the site. By the way, many of these devices are able to simultaneously scare away not only birds, but also rodents caught in the field of a sound wave.
5 BIRD-X Ultrason X4
Country: England
Average price: RUB 66,500
Rating (2022): 4.5
The ultrasonic bird repeller is used not only by gardeners and gardeners. It is also needed in other areas, for example, on the runways of aircraft or in agricultural complexes, where a compact device simply cannot cope with the invasion of birds. Before us is a professional repeller, working within a radius of more than a kilometer around him. There are 4 columns, each of which is configured separately. Ultrasound works in the widest range.
In fact, this is the best device in this section of our rating, and we placed it in such a place only because of its professional orientation. At home, it is unlikely to be useful, and the model description contains a large list of objects where this device can be used. In particular, it mentions antenna and radio towers where birds interfere with signal transmission, as well as industrial facilities where birds can damage property. Well, the price is right. It is unlikely that anyone will dare to put such an ultrasonic repeller on their balcony, albeit the best on the market.
4 SITITEK Balcony Gard
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 8 900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The invasion of birds is often spontaneous and not regular. If pigeons or swallows flying by from time to time get into your balcony, you can protect yourself from them with this repeller, the main advantage of which lies in the motion sensor. It does not work constantly, which significantly saves battery power, but turns on only if a named guest is caught in the beam field. The radius of the infrared beam is more than 80 meters, that is, a surrendered bird repeller can even protect a garden or a small field. And you can power it both from conventional batteries and from the mains through a special adapter that comes with the device.
Numerous positive reviews that are left by real users on the network deserve special attention. Judging by them, the device, if not the best of its kind, then one of the best, and is able to scare away not only birds, but also small rodents. Moreover, it also acts on large representatives of birds, such as gulls, crows and rooks, which is rare for devices of this kind.
3 WT321
Country: China
Average price: 1 540 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
WT321 is a universal device designed to scare away not only birds, but also various rodents and garden pests. The ultrasonic waves emitted by the device cause panic in most small representatives of the fauna, while they are completely harmless to pets and humans.
The main advantage here is the ease of installation. For the repeller, you do not need to look for a special place. It simply sticks into the ground, and the bar can be extended as you wish. If you need to scare away crows, pigeons and sparrows, pull the bed to the maximum. If terrestrial rodents cause inconvenience, on the contrary, move it. The device is extremely simple, but there are a lot of positive reviews about it on the net, where they often talk about its performance and very economical charge consumption of two AA batteries, from which it works for several weeks without interruption. There is also an IR motion sensor, but in the case of rodents it is ineffective.
2 EcoSniper LS-987 BF
Country: Russia (manufactured in Taiwan)
Average price: 3 850 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
The disadvantage of many ultrasonic devices is that they work constantly until you turn them off yourself. This leads to a rapid consumption of battery power, and in general is not very convenient. This device is equipped with a motion sensor, that is, it turns on only when there are feathered guests in its field of view.
And this is not the only advantage. The model is extremely effective, as it works in several directions at once.In addition to ultrasound, which can be tuned to a human-audible frequency, a powerful stroboscope is installed here, which turns on when a bird appears. If a bright, instantaneous flash does not scare away the bird, ultrasonic waves come into play, guaranteed to drive away even large representatives of the flying fauna. The area covered by the device is 85 square meters, which is not the best result, but quite worthy. And the repeller works from just one “crown” battery. If necessary, it can also be powered from the mains through an appropriate adapter, which, unfortunately, is not included in the basic package.
1 Weitech WK-0020
Country: Belgium
Average price: 1 850 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Weitech WK-0020 operates at a frequency in the range of 2.5-4 kilohertz, which is not tolerated by birds. The device can be called the best combination of price and quality, as it is effective at a distance of 40 meters from the installation site. The device is as simple as possible and runs on three AA batteries, which last for several weeks of continuous operation.
For pets and humans, the repeller is completely harmless, which is confirmed by certificates of conformity and numerous tests. It can be used in the country house, garden and even the balcony of a city apartment. On the body there is a regulator that adjusts the device to a certain distance. That is, if your neighbor is a breeder of pigeons, you will not harm them in any way, but they will not approach your site. True, it is not the highest security class that should be taken into account. The repeller will survive rain or snow without problems, but immersion in water is fatal for him.
Best Biometric Bird Repellers
A biometric repeller is different from an ultrasonic one, although both devices affect the hearing of birds. It uses recordings of the sounds of a natural predator, such as the call of an owl or the call of a falcon. It works flawlessly on birds, and invariably causes panic. To expand the impact, some manufacturers install several entries in the repeller. If any bird is not afraid of an owl, then a hawk will certainly be a danger to it. In addition, biometric sounds act on rodents, for which birds of prey also pose a danger.
5 Grad-A16
Country: Russia
Average price: 42 900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Before us is the most powerful and best device in all respects, operating on a universal system. This is a biometric, ultrasonic and light bird repeller capable of repelling both small feathered pests and large representatives of the fauna. By default, more than 40 sounds are installed in the memory with imitation of various factors that irritate the bird. In addition, it is possible to supplement the collection with your own options. This allows not only to expand the range of exposure, but also eliminate the possibility of addiction.
The range of the device is more than 7 thousand meters, that is, it was originally intended for the protection of large objects. If desired, the settings can be changed by reducing the range, but it is unlikely that anyone would think of installing it on a balcony or veranda. The point is the price, and it also became the reason for placing the model in such a place in the ranking. The device is very expensive, although judging by the reviews, it is worth the money.
4 Sapsan-3
Country: Russia
Average price: 3 700 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The bird repeller is installed at a height, especially if it is equipped with a strobe light. Almost all devices, even not the best ones, are equipped with a settings panel, but it is located directly on the case, and this causes some problems with changing parameters. With this device, there will be no such problems, since its control panel is located on a separate module, which you can fix in a place convenient for you. The system is excellent, but in fairness it should be said about the drawback that is often mentioned in the reviews - a short wire. That is, the panel is separate, but it will not work to place it remotely. However, any home master can easily solve this problem.
The device's memory contains 30 simulations divided into three groups. The first group acts on small birds, the second on rodents, and the third on large birds. If you do not need one of the groups, for example, you do not experience difficulties with the invasion of rodents or fight them with other methods, you can simply turn off the group responsible for the corresponding sounds, or set it to a rare operation.
3 Weitech WK-0108
Country: Belgium
Average price: 7 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
It is often difficult to scare away even a small bird, and even loud, aggressive sounds do not cause her rejection. It has to do with habituation. When the repeller makes the same sounds for a long time, sooner or later the feathered pest realizes that there is no danger in them and begins to ignore the device. There will be no such problems with this device, since it has more than 30 records in its arsenal, alternating among themselves by the days of the week. As an additional measure, a stroboscope equipped with a motion sensor is installed here.As soon as a bird enters its field of vision, there is a bright flash of light, and as they say in the reviews, it is often more effective.
The coverage area of the device is 400 square meters, which is quite small compared to top models, but it is quite enough to protect the backyard. On the body of the repeller there are several adjustment levers that allow you to set a pause between triggers and alternate recordings. Also, the motion sensor reacts to lighting, and turns off at night so as not to interfere with people's sleep. Birds do not fly at night, and at dawn the device is automatically activated.
2 FALCON
Country: Russia
Average price: 1 700 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Ultrasonic and biometric bird repellers are often very expensive, and finding a device worth less than two thousand rubles in the open spaces of the market involuntarily raises a suspicion of some kind of trick. Before placing this model in our rating, we carefully studied the reviews about it on the network, and surprisingly they turned out to be overwhelmingly positive. It turns out that the device does its job perfectly, although it has a limited range, only a kilometer. However, this is not so small.
Another advantage of the model, in addition to the price, is the possibility of precise settings. The repeller imitates more than a dozen sounds that affect the instincts of birds. Both the cries of raptors and the echo of shots are recorded here. Moreover, they can be combined, swapped, and, if necessary, turn off some sounds. The device is equipped with a motion sensor, that is, it does not work constantly. Although there are some questions about him in the reviews. As users write, it does not always work, although the annotation says about a viewing angle of 110 degrees.
1 Tornado OP.01
Country: Russia
Average price: 3 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
A universal device that can deal with all groups of garden pests at the same time. Three types of recordings are installed in the device's memory: the first imitates the voices of birds of prey and is aimed at scaring away small birds, such as sparrows, jackdaws and tits. The second acts on rodents, imitating the cries of hunters for small animals. And finally, the third type emits the calls of falcons, gyrfalcons and other large flying predators. They act on the psyche of larger feathered pests.
To set the operating modes, a panel is provided on the device body, which allows you to alternate groups of signals and make pauses between them. The user himself chooses which group should be more frequent, and which one will run from time to time. But the main advantage is the coverage range. Here it is 10 square kilometers, that is, the repeller is designed to protect precisely large objects, although it has settings for shorter distances, and it can also be installed in a personal garden or garden plot.
The best visual bird scarers
An ordinary garden scarecrow is also a visual bird repeller, but its effectiveness is doubtful, since the birds very quickly realize that they are being deceived and stop paying attention to the awkward design. Modern scarecrows are more efficient. They more reliably imitate objects that birds try to avoid. But the set of visual repellers is not limited to ordinary scarecrows. There are many devices that can cause a pest to panic and force it to look for another place to land.
5 SITITEK "Owl"
Country: China
Average price: 3 300 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Stuffed animals can imitate a wide variety of predators, and they are installed in accordance with the habits of the imitating object. In this case, we see an eagle owl flying low above the ground, as it is mounted on a rod. The annotation says that it is a bird repeller, but it rather affects small rodents.
However, birds are unlikely to come close to such a stuffed animal, the main thing is not to forget to change location regularly so that cunning birds do not stop responding to it. Well, it is logical to assume that such a stuffed animal will work most effectively in combination with ultrasonic or biometric devices.
4 Bird-X "Eye of the Predator"
Country: England (made in China)
Average price: 2 400 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Such a seemingly simple tool, in practice, turns out to be the best visual scarer with the most impressive results. In fact, this is an ordinary ball of light plastic, on which drawings are applied that slightly resemble eyes. On birds, such a repeller works flawlessly. Toys are hung around the garden in different places, preferably in dense vegetation, and as soon as the bird flies up to the object, it sees that a predator is looking at it from the thickets, and judging by the size of the eye, it is quite large.
The effectiveness of this device can be doubted, but as they say in the reviews on the network, it works and pretty well. True, the price may be a little shocking, but here it is indicated immediately for three balls, and the brand is European, which means it is relatively expensive. The same balls can be found much cheaper if desired.
3 HELP "Tape"
Country: China
Average price: 380 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
It is known that birds are scared away not only by a loud sound, but also by light. By nature, cautious birds always carefully monitor what is happening around, and the slightest signal of danger drives them away. This tape has a print that refracts and reflects light. Getting on it, the rays of the sun are amplified many times and act on birds as a natural irritant.
The tape is simply hung on objects that need to be protected from invasion, such as grapes or fruit trees. As they say in the reviews, the tool is quite effective, although it cannot be called the best method of struggle. It is rather an additional measure that works in conjunction with other products, such as ultrasonic devices or stroboscopes.
2 SITITEK "Buzzard"
Country: China
Average price: 850 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Hanging or stationary decoys become less effective over time. Birds get used to such repellers and stop responding to them. This product is made on the principle of a kite. That is, it is a lightweight structure made of a frame with a canvas stretched over it, imitating a flying predator. It is enough just to launch this kite over your site, and small birds will bypass this area.
The buzzard flies at a decent height, and the whole fauna knows about this specificity of its hunting. At a greater distance, the simulation becomes more reliable, and sudden movements act as an additional deterrent. Unfortunately, such a toy will not last long, a maximum of one season, but its price is appropriate.
1 SITITEK Eagle
Country: China
Average price: 1 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
The eagle is the most dangerous feathered predator, which almost all birds are afraid of.This model is the best stuffed real hunter. It is attached behind the back, that is, it is suspended on any object. Swinging in the wind, the scarecrow creates an even greater effect and does its job perfectly.
The main advantage of the model lies in the quality paints used on it. They do not fade, do not lose brightness and serve for a long time. An excellent option for protecting a small area from the invasion of small birds. If you supplement this product with a biometric or ultrasonic device, their overall effectiveness will increase significantly. Just do not forget from time to time you should change the location, as cunning birds quickly get used to a predator hanging in one place and stop responding to it.
