＜Product Features＞★ Suitable for use in large areas such as farmland and other cultivated lands.
★ The entire tape features white cut-out characters of "SARABA Karasu-kun" (Goodbye, Crow).
★ The yellow painted section contains a deterrent ingredient against crows. This deterrent (which prevents crows from approaching) strongly stimulates the crows' eyes with a "light" that they find unpleasant. While crows dislike this, it cannot be confirmed by human eyes.
★ The tape can be easily cut with scissors or a cutter.
★ Any remaining tape should be stored using an airtight container such as a kitchen ziplock bag. Keep it at room temperature in a place away from sunlight so it can be reused later.
★ Over time, the yellow tape may turn whitish due to use. Although the deterrent effect diminishes, it is not completely lost. If the tape is not extremely dirty, store it, and attach about 20 cm of new tape to one side of the old tape to enhance the deterrent effect by combining the old and new sections.
＜Usage Examples＞
1. Measures in vineyards and open-field strawberry cultivation, etc.Cut the tape into about 50 cm lengths. Fold the top part by 3–4 cm and overlap, then punch a hole. Thread a sturdy string through the hole and hang it. Wrap it around a prepared stick and let it sway in the wind to create a visual deterrent for crows. Crows may fly in from above or walk on the ground; the key is to make sure they see the tape. Adjusting the height when hanging is important.
2. Measures using solar power generation systemsCompanies handling solar power generation also use this method. If it does not interfere with the landscape, hang the tape around the area to keep crows away.
3. Measures in residential areas and parks
＜Reports from users＞
★ The strawberry field was 3 are (approximately 300 square meters). The length of tape used was 30 meters. Since it was cut into 50 cm pieces, about 60 pieces were used. This method completely prevented crows from coming, resulting in increased harvests, which users are pleased with.
★ In Yoichi Town, Hokkaido, which became famous through NHK's morning drama "Massan," there are many vineyards. When the grapes start to ripen, crows come and peck at the fruit, causing about 30% crop loss. After starting to use this tape, grape damage was greatly reduced, and the harvest of walnuts, which had also been affected, increased by 30%.
