How to Use Bird Scare Tape!

Birds are great! They provide so much pleasure to even the casual watcher, flitting and singing about the garden. However, everyone's gotta eat and sometimes they want to eat your grapes! This week Laura is going to show you how to install Bird Scare Tape to make them think twice about stealing your delicious fruits!

I'll add a tip I use: I tie a 2-ft piece of scare tape to a string 'leader' about the same length. Then I tie the leader to a twig/branch/stick. In the wind, the tape looks like a flying snake. The birds will NOT bother that tree/plant. I've done this for years, and find it really works best for me. Cheers!

Thanks so much for your video. We have blueberrie plants and I love to feed lots different birds. Problem is to keep them away from the strawberries and bueberries... Thanks give me an idea how to rigged up a detern. We have tons of misc stuff that we can create polls, strings, or wire that I can attach reflected tape. Can save the blueberries and still love to my birds.

Yes, birds are protected from but what about the wasps? On the grapes and blueberries too!
