Versitile, Effective, Portable and MAGNETIC!
February 21, 2011
I am so happy to see you carrying the Solar Nite Eyes units... hopefully more people will use these rather than shooting, trapping or poisoning potential predators of live stock and pets.
I love these units because they absolutely work, but have to also say that the ability to simply put them on anything that is steel or iron with the built in magnet is just plain convenient.
I walk out to close up the chickens at night and re-locate the nite eyes units as I walk... moving them from one T-Post to another, or placing them directly on chicken door hinges and at times the steel entry door. This keeps the night prowlers guessing and not liking the blinking lights!
At times I bring some of the units inside and set them under my desk lamp where they charge up during the day! Then I put them in my pocket and head out to put them wherever I think they are needed.
I have had deer chew all the buds off of my young trees. With two mounting holes, I can use a bungie cord to attach the blinking units around a tree at deer eye level... no more deer, no more tracks!
I also use them to protect my honey bee apiary from black bear raiding... so far, so good. One bear visit could put me out of the honey business altogether.
I'm happy with the quality of the units and the price... the practice and ability to routinely relocate them is a huge plus for me. I don't want animals to figure out where they will be and simply work their way around them.
We had a huge wind storm a few days ago and the magnet was strong enough to hold them to T-style fence posts even with those 50 mph gusts.
It was 7 deg F. last night and they were out there blinking away in the snow... nice temperature operating range!
I plan to use them in my vegetable garden this summer...
I highly recommend the Solar Nite Eyes units for predator deterrent applications... and keeping bunnies and deer from munching your plants!
