The Flasher Woodpecker/Bird Deterrent is wind operated and it is best hung from the outside corner of buildings. At this location it can receive wind from 270 degrees, as well as increasing visibility to the woodpecker. If trees are present at these locations, move the flasher to a point that receives not only wind but is visible from the area that is receiving woodpecker damage. It is usually not necessary to put it directly at the point of activity, however try to keep it within 20 feet of the damage area. Comes complete with a wire arm for mounting with a drywall screw to the side of the structure. When using for woodpeckers, cover over any holes that are large enough for the woodpeckers to enter, immediately after installation of flashers. When using for swallows, knock down the nests immediately after installation. Do not be alarmed if the nest needs to be knocked down a few times before activity is reduced. This product has shown some promise as a deterrent for geese on lawns; hang in a windy/ sunny area 10-12 feet off the ground. If the birds seem to get used to the presence of the flasher after awhile, try moving it to a new location. NOTE: Avoid attaching to metal chimney caps as sound from spinning flasher may carry through structure.

I’ve purchased several Flashers over the past couple years. They have done a great job of keeping woodpeckers from destroying my home. My main complaint is they need better connectors. We get fairly strong winds, which tend to break the spinner connectors. I started replacing the provided connectors with heavier ones from a fishing supply store. So far they have held up.

Flasher design in ok and it works ok, but the ones shipped to be were very difficult to clip onto the wire holder. The hole in the flasher is too low, and the clasp is too small and cheaply made, making it a big pain to clip it onto the wire.

Nice simple solution, perfectly fills need

We had a woodpecker issue a few year ago after moving into a new house & a couple of these were installed and solved the problem. After a really severe storm, one of them was damaged & the cost to have them come out to hang up a new one was over $100. Found these online & had it up myself in less than 15 minutes for a fraction of the price.

Cheaply made with bad components. First strong wind storm and they all broke off and were laying in the yard

We had a problem with a woodpecker who kept damaging the columns on our house. After three expensive repairs I found The Flasher. Problem solved. Inexpensive fix that's lasted 3 years already.

A local company wanted to charge us $1000 to place these on our house. We bought 5 for $50, installed them ourselves, and have had no woodpeckers. Easy to install. Would recommend if you have woodpeckers.

Both the materials and assembly are cheap. We don't expect the product to last very long.

Strong, durable, flashy, these flashers are well-constructed and definitely are helping curb bird damage to our home in the Rockies.

I have installed these on a number of my customers homes. They seem to be the most effective woodpecker deterrent.
