It’s good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t hung it yet but I have set it on my porch in hopes the birds leave my strawberries alone. It’s kind of hard to tell if it’s working but since my strawberries seem to be in tact, I’m going to say it works! The only thing is I wish it was smaller, it’s kind of large.

    Easy to instal!
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super durable! Easy to use and clean! Seems to be pretty effective for deterring your little pests! I put this on my deck where birds kept nesting and so far it seems to be helping.

      Excellent
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Balcony Guard can save your balcony from birds. It works great and does what promises. It has great value for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

        Happy dance
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a complimentary item for review and it’s been a god send. I have lots of birds and while I love them. I don’t love the mess they make. I have cats that have food outside and the birds love to eat it. Now they won’t bother the food and I don’t have bird poo all over my porch. So it makes me super happy. It can be mounted and tied in electrically or you can use batteries which is what I have chose to do. This is a great little device. It does make a sound like a chirping but it’s not annoying to me and it doesn’t seem to bother the cats.

          Works like a charm!
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We tried this out but for the birds but really to try an attempt at keeping the stray cats off of our patio furniture (they pee and throw up on it 🙄). I can say that it does work for the cats and the birds. We turn it off in the day time because we appreciate the birds being in our yard, but glad to have it for the evenings and nights!

            Easy to use
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a few weeks ago and it seems to work really well to keep the birds off of my porch railing. It is easy to use and has way to keep clean. Worth the money

                Bird deterrent
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set up. I used the battery option instead of plug in. We’ve had some strong winds and rain without any issues. I have not seen any birds in the deck or poop on the deck since I started using.

                  Keeps the Away!
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This came at just the right time. Since it’s warmer out, the birds are back. They’re constantly up on my porch & tweeting away at the crack of dawn, waking us up. Our newborn keeps us awake enough, we don’t need the birds! This thing seems to help keep the birds away & I don’t feel like I’m being woken up by their constant chirping.

                    It works
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a Balcony Gard Electronic Bird Repeller from Bird-X and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. It came in great condition. The package includes the Balcony Gard, power cable, and screws if you want it to mount on the wall. It doesn’t include the batteries, so you have to provide if you don’t want it plugged in. You’ll need 4 C batteries. You’ve got two options to use this: One is to plug it straight to the outlet, and second is to use 4 C batteries. This claims to deter pest birds, but is Harmless to human, pets, and birds itself. This is Weatherproof so it’s good to use in either Patios, decks, or porches. You can adjust the frequency to either low or high, same with the range. You can tell it’s working when you turn it on and a red light flashes. I can’t hear it at all. I don’t think it bothers the pets too. Also this is Motion-activated. We love birds, but I’ve got this in our patio just to shoo the them away to not poop on the table. Our birdhouse is in front of the house, and patio is in the back so I guess it’ll be ok. So far no bird poop on the patio. They seemed to have spare the patio while this repeller is working.

                      Bird Repeller
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Balcony Gard was easy to install; instructions were clear and provided at the top of the product were you should easily handle it. The item seems easy to use because it takes no time to learn how to properly use, and the instructions tell you how to do it safely. It works fine, but as other reviews say, it takes time to the product to take action.

                        Limited Success
                        The Bird-X Balcony Gard Ultrasonic Bird Repeller is a great idea however we had very limited success. The unit may be more effective in a more confined space than a small garden. We experienced hardly any reduction in bird activity. The unit comes with dual power source possibilities electric if in range of a source or battery power. The mounting is quite easy, however we found that it was not water proof. There is a setting for frequency adjustment. We noticed no effectiveness in any of the settings.

                          Bye , bye, birdy!
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion. While I personally love watching birds on my deck, I can think of a few good reasons why this product would be useful. A great product if you’re looking to keep birds away!

                            Great product it works
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although it is past nesting time, usually the purple martins swoop through my patio because I'm on a large pond. However, since II put it out a week ago, I have not seen any birds even come near my patio. I'm very satisfied, it is small and I plug mine in but you can use batteries.

                              Easy set up
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this balcony gaurd to test and try out from influenster in exchange for my honest review. This balcony guard came with instructions to set up and seemed simple to use. The box has different settings to choose the noise frequency. The box claimes you can't hear the noise it makes to scare off the birds, but I can hear it on low. However, I can't hear the noise on high. This might be a good purchase if you have birds you don't want around your house. I gave it a 4 star because it works well, but I have barn cats and notice it scares them.

                                  Does not work...
                                  I am sorry but after using two of these products in different locations, for over 10 days, it's clear that it doesn't work no matter the setting, the angle or how I try...My photo says all you need to know. It's like birds are more attracted to it than anything else...

                                    Does Nothing
                                    I had high hopes for the Bird-X Balcony Gard Ultrasonic Bird Repeller but it did nothing to deter the birds. I placed this above a porch light that the birds like to nest on every year. It did work in the sense that it was in the way of the birds building their nest. I placed it in early spring before the birds arrived but when they did, they perched themselves right in front of the unit. I had it on continuous mode instead of motion detection so I know it was transmitting. I even tried adjusting the frequency over the course of several days to see if that would make a difference but it didn't. They would still come by and sit right in front of it every day.

                                    So far so good?
                                    The Bird-X Ultrasonic Bird Repeller looked promising. There are birds just hanging out under my window air conditioner unit. Want to get rid of them, so figured this might be a good way. It works once in a while. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but there are times where I still here the birds underneath. But then again, sometimes I don't, so to be honest not sure.

                                    Bride Deterent
                                    This bird balcony deter is used for keeping birds away from your balcony. I used mine hidden in a planter to defer birds from my patio and defalcating on my patio furniture. This bird deter gives off high frequency sound that drives the birds away. This definitely works keeping the birds away. The only draw back to this device is if you use the four C batteries they only last about four weeks so you will have to stay up on changing them. When you see birds around you will know it’s time to change the batteries, that’s the only time you will see them because it works so well. I have a small dog and she was not bothered by this product.

                                    Effectively Wards Off Birds
                                    The Bird-X Balcony Gard Ultrasonic Bird Repeller seems to have helped ward off birds from pecking on my living room plate glass windows. I installed it according to the directions facing the windows and birds no longer spend hours pecking at their reflection in the windows. The device is lightweight and provides notches to hang it so it's easy to install. It must be near the target area and at the same level so that was a challenge for me to find the right placement. There's no sound emanating from the device so I like the fact that there is a small light that turns on when it detects movement and when the ultrasonic sound is activated.

                                    It works!
                                    We got this Bird-X Balcony Gard bird repellent due to an ongoing issue with birds roosting in the trusses of our carport, leaving the inevitable mess on our vehicles. We had tried various means of deterring these pests without actually harming them, from rubber snakes to stapling chicken wire to the trusses, but nothing worked. After installing this ultra sonic bird repeller The issue has apparently been resolved. We don’t see birds flying out of the carport whenever we walk in, and is no longer bird droppings on our vehicles every morning. So far so good. Installation is simple, you just mount the device facing where the birds normally roost and plug the device in. The device can be used with batteries if no power source is available, and is adjustable for sensitivity and ultrasound frequency.

                                    Birds be Gone!
                                    Birds be Gone! We added on a covered deck a few years back and birds were always an issue. I hung some of the other bird deterrents. This helps as long as there is enough wind to keep them moving. Adding this bird repeller was just an extra step. It does appear to be working very well. We have a section of railing that constantly had bird matter on it. So I took some time to set the ultrasonic bird repeller at different spots to see which location seemed to work best. It does appear we have way less issues. The unit is not hard to mount or assemble. The back cover fits much like your plasticware in the kitchen. It just snaps on and off. Once off, you have the ability to set how you would like to power the unit, set the range and set the frequency of the signal given out. You can install the batteries and/or connect the provided AC power cord. The power cord included does have a good amount of cable. I could have easily plugged it in at one end and installed it at the other end of my deck/porch. Mounting is simple with the provided screw and anchors if needed.

                                    So far it worked on my first testing
                                    OK I got this to help in keeping the birds away from my valuable fruits and veggies. It’s not time yet for the plants to be bearing fruit. To test this, I put it out in the yard and sprinkled bread crumbs around it since birdseed is known for creating weed infestations. So far (full day) not a bird has been in view and all the crumbs are still on the ground (as can be seen in one of my photos white dots on lawn). They say it may take weeks for it to be effective if it works, so I can’t say definitively yet. I will reevaluate once my blueberries start changing color. I have some confusion because; 1st there is two dials 1 is for “Frequency” the second is “Range”. Range is supposed to be 900sq ft but the motion sensor works on a 35’ x 70’ which is 2,450 sq ft? The lower the frequency the easier it is to hear. So, does the sensor cover more than the protection range? The dials turn in opposite directions going from low to high (can be seen in my pictures I drew arrows). Anyway, so far so good.

                                    An average bird repellent
                                    I have tried to keep the birds away from my garden and out of the tree's above our cars so I decided to give the Bird-X Balcony Gard Ultrasonic Bird Repeller a try. It is very solid and well constructed. It can run on 4 not included C size batteries or you can plug it in with the included AC adapter and cord. I moved it around the property and found it to work about as good as it gets. The best way is to move it every few days and have it plugged in on AC power so it is on all the time. It does have a motion sensor with 35 to 70 foot sensing. You can adjust the volume and sensitivity and is harmless to your pets and the birds. I found it to work best in a tall wooden fenced area where the sound bounced all over. It does seem to help if you work at it moving it regular and working with the sound volume and signal strength. It would be easier to have 3 or 4 to get the job done. Its a bit to much work for me.

                                    Placed this on my roof along with an owl decoy and some spikes. Been over a week since placement. Ide say it doesn't work. 13+ pigeons on my roof. See picture. Taken today 10/13/2020. Ide try a different product if using for a roof or have solar panels. I will have to pigeon proof the panels and add more spikes. The spikes are expensive! If it weren't glued down and I didn't run the plug in wire under roof tiles I would definately return it. 100% disappointed.
