Seagulls migrate up north during the winter months to top up their tan, luckily our VIC & TAS stores are gull free zones and do not require protection.
All you need is your pack, some chips and a sunny day. In the creation of the packs, we’ve taken inspiration from Aussie farmers who use ‘scare tape’ to protect their crops from birds. When sunlight hits the reflective surface, it dazzles seagulls and deters them away from the pack. It’s completely harmless to the gulls but it may leave them a little peckish.
It works best with seagulls. Throughout extensive testing, we tried it on Magpies, Indian Minors and Pigeons with mixed results. We’re not too sure about the reasons behind this but how often do you hear about Magpies, Indian Minors or Pigeons attacking your lunch at the beach?
Yes, the pack needs direct sunlight to deter gulls so it won’t work in the dark or overcast conditions. Also, we don’t recommend the beach at night or when it’s raining.

Firstly, why would you so carelessly abandon a pack of delicious Thick Cut Chips? Secondly, the pack works best when it’s held or is moving. This allows the surface to catch light and glitter. Just don’t get too crazy while shooing away the gulls or you risk dropping a chip. And that would be a real shame.
