with a few twists in it and tie it between two posts, it creates an
interesting effect. Late in the season, nothing seems to work. I've got bangers,
cannons, crackers, whistlers, squawkers, bird distress calls, flash tape, Scary
Eye balloons, flash pyramids, bird scaring kites and most recently
netting.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

past three or four years I have using a similar product....but at a much cheaper
cost than moiré tape....I go to the local "Dollar Store" in the early spring and
purchase those things that little children put on the handle grips of
their bicycles that flap in the wind....they are reflective and
sparkly...usually blue/silver metallic or red/silver metallic. You
can purchase several dozen of these gizmos that are already cut to size
with seven or eight strands together with a small handle to tie your string onto
then on the catch wires or posts.......they last several years and keep
the deer and birds away.....that's what works for me.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
