Tape that keeps crows away: "SARABA Crow-kun" tape type

basic information

■ The town of Yoichi in Hokkaido, which became famous through NHK's morning drama "Massan," has many wineries that cultivate grapes. However, I have heard that once the grapes start to bear fruit, about 30% of the harvest suffers damage from crows. ■ Therefore, after starting to use this tape (actually purchased 100m), the damage to grapes from crows has drastically decreased. It is said that the harvest of "walnuts," which were cultivated together, has tripled. ■ Key points for usage: Cut the 6m tape into pieces about 50cm long and hang them in various places with string to sway in the wind. Crows tend to avoid the surrounding area. ■ This tape is also used in the grounds of Sapporo's important cultural property "Sapporo Clock Tower Crow Control" (video on YouTube) and around the Hakodate Ropeway. Effective period: 3 to 6 months --------------------------------------------------- ■ It is said that crows have eyes capable of distinguishing ultraviolet light and possess five times the visual acuity of humans. Because of this, they are sensitive to the "luminescence" emitted from ink and dislike the wavelength of that light. ■ The repellent effect (not approaching) has been recognized against crows, as well as birds of prey such as hawks and black kites, or other birds with good eyesight.

  Successfully implemented measures against crows gathering around the large tree in the residential area. Especially in the evening, many crows would hide in the tree or perch on its branches, making loud noises. Additionally, since the tree is located in front of a house, it was quite troublesome. After hanging tape in the tree as shown in the photo, the number of crows rapidly decreased, and we were delighted with the success.
