Birds are intelligent animals that will not be scared away by methods that they know will not harm them. Since nuisance birds can be a major problem and do not consistently respond with fear to anti-bird products, what can scare birds away and keep them away?

Birds are beautiful creatures. Some people go out of their way to invite them into their yard by placing bird feeders and water baths around, and others may find them to be a nuisance or even a threat to their small livestock animals or crops.

Of all the household pests that might invade your home, fruit flies aren’t the worst. They’re not going to poison you, they’re not especially disgusting to look at, and they're scared off with the flutter of your hand—temporarily, at least. Still, they can make you feel a little ashamed, like you have an unclean home, and they’re certainly annoying.

Are there extra guests in your kitchen that you didn’t invite? Are they buzzing around your fresh fruit and vegetables, or even your trash can? Maybe you left out some empty beer bottles and they’re flying around those, too? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a fruit fly infestation in your home.
