How does Sparrow-B-Gone work?

House sparrows (Passer domesticus) are a common backyard pest. They are a non-native, invasive, aggressive, and territorial species. House sparrows frequently chase away more desirable birds and take over their nesting sites.

Sparrow-B-Gone is a patent-pending product line that is designed to keep almost all house sparrows away from your bird feeders. The product design is based on research published in 1991* that showed at least 90% of house sparrows will avoid a feeder protected by clear fishing lines.
