Nite Guard Predator Control Light

Nite Guard Solar NG-001 Predator Control Light, Single Pack
Pros: Deters night time predators, bob cats and coyotes.
Cons: Of course it doesn't work during the day...
For 3 years, I have been using Predator eyes on two pens that are located next to a gully, which I later found out, serves as an animal freeway! Coyotes and bob cats routinely travel the route. Since I put up the Nite Guard Predator Eyes, there have been no problems with them attempting entry into either pen. However, day time is another issue...but, all the chickens are locked up in their coops at night, all windows are covered with hardware cloth and bolted on, and the coop is surrounded by dig proof pens.

With all these measures it is still stressful for the chickens when they sense a predator outside. So Nite Guard Predator Lights/eyes are another good thing to add to the arsenal!

We already had a great horned owl problem. He visited regularly and knew what chicken tasted like. We than bought 4 of this product. It was properly installed. The owl still came 2 more times and killed two chickens. It did not work for us, but we already had a prior problem. We gave up and bought a guardian livestock dog.
Pros: it actually keeps predators away at night
Cons: price
We LOVE this! It still works, and it is 3 years old. The coop has never had problems with night thieves, where they can see it.

Pros: Protects my chickens from night time predators
Cons: None
I've been using NiteGuard lights for ten years.

After a devastating raccoon attack, I was looking for something that might help. Saw their add in BackYard Poultry magazine and figured anything was worth a try.

I bought 5 and put them high and low, inside and out of my chicken yard.

Never had another attack. I've watched Raccoon's walk all over my property and never go near the chicken yard.

They work great for me. I'd never be without them. Last about three years outside. I've even put some in our windows in our house. Can't tell from outside that they aren't security lights.

I was really hopeful that these would work to protect my coop, but here's a picture showing that they don't. I bought 4 from niteguard.com for $79.80, put one on each side of the coop at the proper height as per the instructions, but after reading quite a few mixed reviews I decided to put the trap out as well. Just 2 weeks of baiting the trap caught a skunk last night, just a few feet from the night guard. SO GLAD I put the trap out or things may have been bad if the skunk got into the coop. So now I will be keeping the trap out and well baited and researching what else I can do to protect my flock, as I now know the nite guards will not. Don't waste your money on these, instead put out traps.
