Are you fed up with the pigeon droppings that contaminate your windows and balconies all the time? This is a brilliant tip that will change your life!
With the advancement of technology, compact discs have become obsolete today. Now, we happily swap them for USB keys and other MP3 players. However, there is no question of throwing them in the trash. Are you a music lover and have an impressive CD collection at home? Do you have a garden or orchard? Good news: you will be able to recycle them in a completely unexpected way.
Why hang CDs or DVDs in the trees in the garden?
For some time now, in the neighborhood, you have often noticed CDs hanging from neighbors’ trees. Slightly scratched, these old discs adorn the foliage, tied with a fine fishing line. Is this a new decorative trend? No way.
In truth, hanging these gadgets is above all a very effective and clever way to scare away birds, hares and deer. As you know, these animals often prowl around plantations: they sneak insidiously into gardens and orchards in search of food. This is a very annoying situation, since your vegetable garden is often in a pitiful state. However, you are far too busy to keep watch or to multiply the means of dissuasion to chase away these hungry undesirables.
This is therefore a great boon: since you still have a whole range of CDs and DVDs which are no longer of any use to you, it is the ideal time to carry out intelligent recycling. The trick is to hang the discs on the trees: the slightest gust of wind will set them in motion and make them spin. The CDs will thus reflect the sun’s rays and automatically ward off any animals that try to approach.
NB : it is important to change the location of the disks periodically. Because, after a while, animals will feel that the flashing light is not dangerous. It would therefore be more judicious to hang them from time to time in other strategic places.
Clever alternative to many toxic repellents
It is therefore not a new alternative form of design, but a particularly effective technique to overcome the problem of the invasion of these pests.
Particularly to scare away birds that tend to settle near your windows and soil the windows. By hanging CDs on the balcony, it is the ideal means of deterring pigeons, for example, which often populate balconies, creating a lot of inconvenience. In addition to being carriers of infectious diseases, their presence is unsanitary. You always have to go behind them to clean the place. Unfortunately, traditional repellents are not always effective and remain toxic to the environment. Not to mention that these unwanted guests always end up coming back around.
Whether you are lucky enough to have a garden , or the door opens directly onto a courtyard, you are also faced with the regular presence of stray cats in search of food. While some people have become accustomed to their visits and even encourage them to come, others cannot stand the presence of these intruders who often damage the plants.
Now you have the perfect solution to keep them away from your home: CDs reflect the sun’s rays, thanks to their shiny material. These confusing reflections will immediately dissuade felines from approaching. Frightened, they will no longer roam around.
