Transparent Bird Gel, 10oz Tube, Sticky Bird Repellent

I live in a high rise condo with a balcony. The pigeons have mostly left me alone, but this spring they started to use my balcony as their personal bathroom. My entire balcony was covered in droppings, and after my second weekend scrubbing/bleaching it all away, I finally had enough. I tried a couple of other non-invasive deterrents first. I tried an owl statue first; pigeons weren't fooled. I also tried shiny strips/reflectors, but they did very little because my balcony is in shade 90% of the time. This product was my third option. I applied it to the railing and the edge of my balcony where the pigeons like to perch. My balcony is about 20 feet wide. The whole process took 30 minutes with a chalk gun, and probably used up 1.5 tubes. It worked flawlessly. I haven't had a pigeon since applying this product. And I know it works because there are spots with a couple of feathers stuck on the glue. So a pigeon must have landed, got upset, and left in a hurry. It's cheap, silent, and durable. It's already gone through a couple of rainstorms without washing away, and I believe it when they say it'll last for 6 months. I'm extremely happy with the results, but there are a couple of problems/potential issues that I've noticed: 1. My balcony is small. Application was easy. If you had to apply this to a large balcony or patio, it could be aggravating, especially if you have back or wrist issues. 2. I don't go out on my balcony much. I don't mind having glue on certain areas. If you, your family, or your pet goes out on your balcony a lot, then this glue can be an issue. 3. The glue gets nasty after a while. It attracts all kinds of dust and pollen, not to mention little flies and insects. Again, I don't mind, but for anyone who cares about the aesthetics of their balcony, this is not going to be the product for you. I'm still extremely happy with this product. But I can easily see how some people would absolutely hate it. 4 month update: Unfortunately, the birds have learned to stop fearing the goop. I can tell, because there are multiple footprints (or talon prints?) leading from the edge to the interior of the balcony. They stand all over the glue, then track it into the balcony itself. At this point, the prints are not just dirt and soot, but actual residue from the glue itself. It was a pain to get off, and I spent an entire weekend scrubbing it away. Soap and bleach do not work, shockingly. I needed to bring out the mineral oil (which to be honest, is what the manufacturer recommends to clean off the adhesive) and scrub like crazy to get the prints off. That being said, I'm not gonna dock any points off for this product. If anything, I should give a few points to the birds. They are tenacious. They don't give a darn about silly human deterrents, and if they want to perch, they'll find a way to do it.

It works great!! I live on the 3rd floor and Ive been having war with some local pigeons over my balcony they like to sit on the sprinkler fire systems and poop all over my balcony. I put a bird net up but they would still find a way in threw the smallest gap but I bought this product and put it where they like to sit and they have not been back since but it is a little hard to get out of the tube

Simple to apply, impossible to remove, dont get it on your hands as its like glue. It has deterred a determined family of birds who had decided to use my mailbox post as a toilet. But now the post is covered in insects trapped in the goo.

Not a deterrent. Birds get stuck in the glue, roll around trying to get away and coat themselves in it and then die. This needs to be taken off the market. Terrible product.

so, it is messy... but it will keep birds or squirrels off your stuff. I had squirrels climbing into my potted garden plants and eating my stuff, so I put a bead around the edge, the next day no ripe tomato was touched, but, there was flattened area in my bead, and sticky paw prints on my deck he he he I also put some on plastic wrapped rocks by my fish pond, now when the birds land to try to eat a fish or take a bath in my pond, they get sticky feet, the plastic wrap makes cleaning up later easy. this stuff does melt in the hot summer sun but is still a sticky mess no animal wants to step in. I started to put it on lengths of wood on my pots to keep the pots clean but still keep animals from hoisting up on the edges. I am betting this would work for birds that attack your car windows in spring, but put plastic wrap down first (maybe hold in place with magnets or easy to remove tape?) then put the gel on the plastic food wrap. it works on my rocks, birds hate this. I am finally getting the fruits of my labor in my garden and the vermin have not come back, guess he is still trying to clean his paws? learned his lesson? found an unguarded garden elsewhere.... either way, my vegetables are for me now. I think this would be good to protect a fruit or nut tree from climbing animals, put a ring around the trunk (or wrap in plastic wrap and coat that....) would be worth a try. oh, I should add you do need a caulk gun to use this, but you should get one anyway if you dont own one. cheap and handy. remember to release pressure on the gun when your done and recap. a little goes a long way. good luck to everyone who tries this, I love it. less work than trapping......

Used Bird B Gone on the large chandelier that hangs in my courtyard to deter pigeons. It absolutely works. I have tried sonic deterrents and spray deterrents and the pigeons just kept coming back and trying to nest up there again within 1-3 days. I wasn’t sure what else to do, we were actually talking about removing the chandelier and reinstalling a can light, and then my wife found this stuff. I removed the cap, cut the nozzle, punctured the film inside the nozzle then slapped the tube in my caulk gun, climbed the ladder and layed a thin bead of this stuff anyplace on the chandelier where the birds could find purchase. Worked perfectly. It’s been 2 months and I have not seen any signs of the pigeons since. Easy to use. I think some people don’t realize there is a film barrier inside the nozzle that you must puncture before the product will dispense. If your caulk gun doesn’t have a long metal poker built into it for this purpose, just use a 3-4” long skinny screwdriver to puncture the film. Great product, easy to apply, and effective.

I got the cap off with difficulty and cut off the tip as instructed. Nothing would come out. Cut off a little more and probed with a safety pin. Nothing. Stepped on the tube to create pressure and the bottom came out. With a putty knife (not included) that was workable. I spread the stuff as instructed. Covers 10 linear feet (~3 m). Use mask (for possible pigeon poop exposure) and gloves when applying. Avoid eye contact. Wipe with olive oil if it gets on skin. After about three days there was slightly less overnight pigeon poop appearing each morning on our high rise lanai (balcony).

February 5, 2013: This product is absolutely brilliant! It is horribly sticky, difficult to see, and quite effective. The gel has transformed what had become a sort of meeting-place for flying vermin (aka, English House sparrows ... a non-native, invasive species imported from England in the mid 1800s) into a clean, quiet environment. For those worried that the gel traps sparrows to die a horrible death, this is not the case. That said, they have to (loudly) remove themselves from the happy stickiness provided by Bird-B-Gone ... which seems to result in one-trial learning. The gel has worked well in our heretofore mild winter. A couple of tips. One, do not even think of using this product without having several pairs of disposable, latex gloves with you. (Once the first pair is 'polluted' by the glue, roll them off, and replace with a new pair.) Two, use the pressure-release tab on your caulking gun liberally. Three, have a hole-less plastic shopping bag with you to hold the caulking gun while negotiating a ladder. No matter how careful I was, the caulking gun got 'polluted' by the gel ... did I mention that the gel is sticky <g>. Have some individual paper towels, hanging out of a back-pocket. You will thank me. (Wipe once, fold the residue inside, crumple the towel, and throw it away immediately.) While costly, the improvement is priceless. (Buy an extra tube. It doesn't go as far as you will initially estimate.) March 8, 2016 Addendum. Well ... some 3 years later ... I had to add some of this sticky wonderfulness to several potential sparrow nesting spots yesterday. (Over the years, pollen and leaves had reduced the effectiveness of the original treatment.) Saturday, the day before yesterday, the sparrows told us that the time was right for the 'refresh.' Those of you whom enjoy trashy invasive vermin waking you up shortly before daybreak ... well you just go right ahead enjoying it. To reuse a line made famous on the Fox show, In Living Color, "Homey, don't play dat!" We'll continue to cherish the peace and quiet Bird B Gone MMTBG Transparent Bird Gel, 10-Ounce restored for us this morning. And all of you PeopleforEatingTastyAnimals types, there were some feathers in the remnants of the first application, but no corpses of dead birds. BTW. Re-using/emptying the partially used tube (remaining from the original application) was no problem at all. For three years that partially used tube had been on the shelf, inside a plastic bag. It had not even formed a skin at the nozzle! I've ordered a couple of more tubes so that if I need them, I'll have them on-hand.

This product is brilliant as we have had lots of trouble with Pidgeon's on our roof nesting under the solar panel's. I contacted lots of companies regarding getting rid of them to no avail. Some wanted between £400 - £1600 to remove them and prevent them returning. We were sick of the constant scratching and cowing they were making. AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! So when I see this product with the acclaimed right up recommendations I decided to purchase some. I was not disappointed it does exactly what it says it stops the pigeons landing on the roof as the gel being permanently soft it sticks to their feet, so that when they take flight the gel then sticks to their body giving them what is only to be described as applying DEEP HEAT On. IT WORKS THERE IS NO MORE SCRATCHING, NESTING, PLUS NO MORE DEFFICATION TO CLEAR UP. HHOOORRRAAAYYYY!!!!!!! So providing you can get up to apply the gel to the area where you do not want the birds to be, all you then need to do it apply the gel with a mastic gun after pulling the very top of the tube off, cutting the end of the tube and using a long implement to pierce the sealed end in the tube. I would recommend this product should you need to as we did to remove them from our house these pests.

Not working just Wasting time 👎🏻

The birds still land and crap everywhere, it's hard to find something to keep the birds from nesting and capping all over the place. It's hard to clean off the brickwork once applied.

I had once chance while my scaffolding was up to get up to the roof to deploy the tube, I waited and waited until all the building work had been done, the scaffolding was coming down the next day. I put the tube in my brand new gun snipped off the top as per instructions, tried to squeeze a bit out to get it primed and nothin was coming out, what I didn’t realise is that it was coming out just not from the right end it was coming out from the plunger end. It has ruined my gun and any chance I did have of deploying this rubbish has now gone out the window. I should be asking for compensation, this family of birds has been antagonising me for years I managed to get one of them now his mates keep coming back, from 4 in the morning they sit outside my window and tweet their nasty little screech and I was so looking forward to having some peace this was my last hope and it had been destroyed because of a faulty tube which I imagine was blocked further down the mob so when I squirted it it all came out the wrong end. I am not happy and wish I could get more that a refund like a working tube for free so I could enter it in one of the sellers orifices for getting my hopes up and then smashing them with no care about my health and well being. Do not buy!

When it rained the product ran, ruined so many glass panels, absolutely nightmare to get off. Never Never recommend
