PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Mechanical device which looks like a large spider and is activated by movement. When activated, it will release an 18 inch length of cord which causes it to drop down from where it is mounted. Motion, movement and vibrations will activate it like those created by a wood pecker which is either pecking for food or sounding for mating/marking territory. The device looks like a large spider complete with legs, head, eyes and mandibles. Two "AA" batteries power the spider and there is an on/off switch located on the bottom (batteries are not included with the Spider). You will need to use a phillips head screwdriver to remove the side panel for loading the batteries. This panel is located under the fur of the spider and held in place by velcro. There are two eye hooks for mounting the spider onto siding of the home which are best suited for screwing into wood or stucco. Mount these above the area you want to protect and place the spider flat against the surface of the material you want to protect. When the nuisance animal returns the spider will be activated and this motion will scare away the target animal. Watch this video to see it in action:

TARGET ANIMALS: Great for Wood Peckers and other nuisance birds which you don't want on or around the home. Use one for any window which is attracting birds that are flying into it because they appear to see their own reflection and believe this to be another bird. Since birds are naturally afraid of spiders, they will stay away from any area where you mount it (though some birds actually eat spiders, they don't feed upon any which are this large and they instinctively know to stay away from anything this size). This device has been known to spook squirrels, chipmunks and other small animals.

WHERE TO USE IT: Siding of the home or any structure, up under eaves and along window frames, moldings and facia boards. Can also be used on trees, poles and other objects where you don't want small animals or birds active.

RATE OF APPLICATION: One spider per 10 foot by 10 foot area. When used on windows, you will need one spider per window you want to protect. Each spider comes with two eye hooks which can be used for mounting and installation. The cord of each spider has a round key chain like connector which can be used to connect to the included eye hooks. You can also connect an extension to this key chain connector, using some light twine or fishing line monofilament, so that you can hang it down how ever far you need it to be so that it is able to drop to the target area. This is commonly done when you are trying to deter birds from flying at a window which is quite tall. Since the birds typically fly at the bottom of the window to it's ledge, it is sometimes hard to get the spider to drop all the way down where it is needed. For such applications, mount the eye hook at the top of the window into the window frame. Next, tie some light twine or fishing line down from the eye hook and connect the spider at a point where you want the spider to start it's motion. This should be about 2 feet above the area where the bird is landing. The use of fishing line is suggested for this application since it is hard to see and will be more cosmetically appealing. Try to keep the spider out of direct rainfall. Though it can tolerate getting damp or wet, repeatedly getting soaked due to rain or irrigation systems will lead to damage and component failure which is not covered by warranty.
