Description of Nite Guard Solar NG-001 Predator Control Light, Single Pack
Solar Powered Nite Guard Solar uses sunlight or daylight to charge. No batteries are ever needed. It will continue to activate during long periods of cloudiness. The powerful flash of red light produced from this LED system will automatically activate at dusk and will force all night animals to flee the area. Based on scientific research, Nite Guard Solar emits a flash of light implying to all animals that hunt or feed at night that they have been "discovered" or are being watched. This is their deepest fear and forces them to flee the area. A simple, but effective concept. Automatically turns on at dusk and off at full daylight. This weatherproof unit will last approximately 3-4 years. Use the Nite Guard Solar to protect poultry and livestock against coyote, fox, bear, mountain lion, wolf, bobcat, owls, hawks, mink, weasel, and skunks, gardens (flowers, vegetable), orchards, vineyards against deer and raccoon, bird feeders, purple martin houses, fish ponds against raccoon, hawks, owls, blue heron, and bear, campsites, cabins, and property against bear, raccoon, mountain lion and even human intruders. 60-day money back guarantee, 1-year limited warranty. Mount the lights at eye level of the animal to be stopped and face it away from the area to be protected. One to four lights will be required depending upon your application. It not motion activated but will flash automatically from dusk through dawn so night animals are stopped at long distances (500 yards or more) away. They do not come in to investigate but see the flash as a threat the instant they are aware of it. Maintenance Free: Nite Guard Solar is completely weatherproof and will continue to function or years under extreme weather conditions. Blistering heat, below zero temperatures, rain, ice, snow and blowing dust/grime will not compromise the nightly function of this product.Tools and Hardware Reviews of Nite Guard Solar NG-001 Predator Control Light, Single Pack
Customer Review: Not only keeps my chickens alive...saved the compost bin from raccoons as well!
Summary: 5 Stars
We actually think of our chickens as pets...they come to me when called, they eat out of my hand, they listen attentively, do tricks for cottage cheese, and crack me up. Yet, unlike our other pets, they make me eggs for breakfast and fertilize the yard at no additional charge.
So I want to keep em around.
Unfortunately, our house backs up to a prarie and deep woods so everything from coyotes to deer to raccoons etc are visitors...
Although our coop is very secure, raccoons can get into most locks you wouldn't think possible, dig under the coop, and so can coyotes. And if a coyote finds your coop, you will rarely be able to EVER keep him out again. Possums can also get in very tricky ways.
So we had concerns. I just read about this in a magazine I shutter to admit I read called something like Backyard chickens. Although there is an ad for it in the mag as well, it was cheaper here. Then a worker at the feed store mentioned it. So I got it on Amazon.
So here's the test. We keep the coop purposefully by our house so the chickens are less seen, heard and smelled to the wrong predators as they would be in the very back of our yard. But one attack would be too much.
To test it? I knew raccoons had found our compost bin at the very back of our yard after I had left it open and were coming back to visit every night, with pawprints even on our deck after we grilled. So I first put this on the compost bin, knowing they'd return. They haven't touched it since and it was OPEN for the taking. Good news.
That said, in order to be most effective read the directions about placement height and everything I read says to periodically move it around a bit on the coop so no animal gets used to seeing it, consequently, making it seem less risky to them to explore.
If there are a few ways a predator might get to your pen, you may need more than one.
Works via a red blinking laser light...I have no idea why unless word is out in the animal world that that is what a hunter's laser looks like... :-)
Runs on solar power and turns itself on and off. It is NOT activated by motion...but, though I thought this was the case, I guess it's better that it's not because by the time they are THAT close, chicken meat may smell too good to resist and this way they don't have to pass in front of it to be thwarted by it. Just seeing it keeps them at bay.
P.S. Have a free range area with an open top? I continue to read that crossing fishing line across the top then putting streamers of bright orange tape hanging down to flap will keep hawks from carrying away your hens, as well as climbers.
Negatives: Best to have several yet it's just too pricey to stock up as I wish I could for all sides of my coop. However, this appears to be the only manufacturer.
Positives: That's obvious.
