The Birds-Away Attack Spider? is a battery-operated device that will chase away damage-causing woodpeckers. Activated by sound, the spider drops down on an 18 inch string while making a loud noise.
That’s what the manufacturers say. They also manufacture and sell a special tool for installing the attack spider.
