What customers say
This floating repellent offers initial success, delighting users with its realistic design and immediate deterrence of ducks and geese. However, long-term value is questionable due to rapid bird habituation. A major recurring issue involves durability; the plastic fades in sunlight, and many units absorb water, causing them to sink shortly after deployment. While it functions well as a short-term novelty, the limited lifespan and diminishing effectiveness do not justify the cost for many customers seeking a reliable solution.
