Product Information

Full details

The Birdscare Humming Tape is an effective, non-lethal deterrent designed for gardeners and homeowners seeking to protect crops, newly sown lawns, and outdoor structures from nuisance birds. By utilizing air movement to create a subtle humming vibration, the tape creates an environment birds naturally avoid without causing them any harm. While it serves as a highly practical preventative measure for fruit trees, ponds, and vegetable patches, it requires consistent tension and should be installed early in the season before bird activity becomes established to achieve maximum efficacy.

FAQs

Does this tape harm the birds?

No, the tape is a completely humane, non-lethal deterrent that uses sound and vibration to discourage birds without physical contact.

Can I use this to stop birds from roosting on my car?

Yes, you can string the tape near areas where cars or boats are stored to discourage birds from perching or roosting nearby.

How high should I install the tape?

For optimal effectiveness, the tape should be installed at a height of 60cm to 90cm above the ground.

What is the recommended length for each run?

We recommend installing the tape in runs of about 5 metres between supports for the best results.

Is it effective in complete calm?

The tape requires air movement to vibrate. It is most effective when there is at least a light breeze to trigger the humming sound.

When is the best time to install the tape?

Install the tape early in the season before birds start visiting or nesting in your garden to prevent them from becoming established in the area.

Troubleshooting

The tape is not humming in the wind.

Check that the tape is under sufficient tension. Ensure it is pulled tightly between supports and not snagged on leaves or branches.

Birds are ignoring the tape.

The birds may already be established in their habits. Ensure the tape was installed before the planting season, or add more visual movement by twisting the tape slightly during installation.

The tape has become slack over time.

Environmental conditions can cause materials to stretch. Simply untie one end, pull the tape taut again, and secure it firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Completely non-lethal and environmentally friendly
  • Easy to install with minimal equipment required
  • Effective for a wide variety of outdoor locations
  • Provides a visual and auditory deterrent simultaneously

Cons

  • Requires wind or air movement to trigger the humming effect
  • Most effective when installed before birds become habitual
  • May require periodic adjustment to maintain proper tension

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the tape, identify the areas where birds congregate and secure your supports, such as bamboo canes or fence posts, spaced roughly 5 metres apart. Attach the tape firmly at a height of 60cm to 90cm, ensuring it has enough clearance to move freely in the wind without getting tangled in nearby foliage. Compatibility is universal, as the tape can be tied to almost any outdoor fixture. For care, periodically inspect the tape during the growing season to ensure it hasn't become loose or damaged by harsh weather conditions, and retighten as necessary to maintain the humming frequency.
