- Install poles, stakes or other vertical supports.

- Pull tape out, cut to desired length and attach to vertical supports. [TIP: Twist tape to create 3-4 spirals between supports for maximum reflective effect.]

- Tape can be tied down, but do not staple.

For garden rows:

- Use one strip along each row as close to tops of plants as possible.

- For closely spaced rows, use on alternate rows.

For fruit trees:

- Suspend above tree if possible.

- Otherwise, attach to tree branches running tape across, over and under branches so it's visible from all directions.

For large gardens:

- Surround perimeter of garden with tape.

- Run tape lengthwise and crosswise to form an elevated protective grid (elevate above garden plants with poles or stakes).

- Elevate tape 3 ft. over crops so birds can see it from all directions.

- Remove tape when harvest is over to prevent birds from getting used to it.
