Scare Away Birds

We've already been over how you can use aluminum foil to keep away insects, but you can also use it to scare away birds from fruit trees. To do so, just hang a couple of strips from your trees and let them do the rest of the work. The strips should act like shiny scarecrows and keep any birds from gobbling up your fruit. The birds aren't fans of foil for two reasons.

They don't like the way the foil feels, and the shiny nature of the foil also messes with their strong vision, so they try to keep it as far away as possible.
