Bird-X: Top 10 Bestselling Bird Control (Repellent) Products

May 11th, 2012 tenpicks
3-D Coyote

When you’re looking for a good bird control solution you want to go with an effective, yet a “green” one (or one that won’t harm the bird). Bird-X is the company to consider. They have been in business since 1964 — for nearly 50 years providing us with high quality, effective, yet humane bird control products. Today we’d like to bring you a list of their top 10 best sellers (ranked primarily by what sells best, but also relying on consumer reviews):

- 1 -

Bird-X TAPE-25 - Irri-Tape Bird Repellent Ribbon (Price range: $6-$10)

The ribbon is one of the cheapest bird control solution. It is made of holographic iridescent diffraction foil which drives the birds away. It affects bird’s visually (due to its 3-D holograhic effect), on the sound level (when the irritape makes its metallic noise as it blows int he breeze), and on the physical level too. Covers up to 1,000 square feet.

- 2 -

Bird-X BG Balcony Gard - Ultrasonic Bird Repeller (Price range: $41-$95)

If you’re looking for a chemicals-free, non-messy solution for bird control, consider this eletronic yard protector. It covers up to 900 square feet, and is perfect for balconies, decks, yards, lawns, gardens, porches, buildings, greenhouses, and similar areas of your yard.

- 3 -

Bird-X SE-PAC - Scare Eye Balloons (Price range: $20-$25)

The idea behind these is to scare away flocks of nuisance birds who are repelled by the bright colors and the unusual design of these giant Scare-Eyes. They are 2 feet in diameter (16 inch when inflated), and you may either hang them from trees or from long poles. Based on customer reviews, these are often quite effective.

- 4 -

Bird-X SP-10-NR - Bird Spikes Kit (Price range: $15-$25)

This is an extremely effective solution to block birds from their favorite landing and roosting surfaces. The bird spikes are made of durable and tough polycarbonate material, which provides decades of maintenance-free protection.

- 5 -

Bird-X BXP-PRO 1 - Peller Pro Electronic Bird Repeller (Price range: $170-$250)

This bird repeller is a programmable for specific species. It allows you to control birds – either indoors, or outdoors - with a sophisticated sonic technology. You can choose from any or all of 8 natural bird sounds including predator calls to which helps scare birds away.

- 6 -

Bird-X STS-10-R - Stainless Bird Spikes Kit (Price range: $30-$45)

This stainless bird spike kit deters birds from roosting on any surface. It is effective against pigeons, sparrows, starlings, swallows, crows, blackbirds, grackles, many other birds, bats, and more.

- 7 -

Bird Proof - Bird Repellent Gel (Price range: $8-$10)

An excellent bird control solution – especially for repelling pigeons, starlings and house sparrows. This toxic sticky transparent gel keeps birds off their normal roosting areas, building ledges, window sills.

- 8 -

Bird-X OWL - Prowler Owl with Moving Wings (Price range: $35-$64)

This is by far our most favorite one! An own (with 4-foot wingspan) will scare birds being dynamic, realistic, and a very visual predator in their eyes. This always-moving hunting postured owl never perches; so your birds will never acclimate.

- 9 -

Bird-X Irri-Tape - Bird Repellent Ribbon (Price range: $25-$42)

Just as our #1 tape, this holographic ribbon from Bird-X is another effective bird control soltuion. The Irri-Tape bothers all of a bird’s senses (both on visual, and on physical level). Discourage pigeons, sparrows, starlings, crows, blackbirds, grackles, seagulls, swallows, woodpeckers, ducks, geese and many others.

- 10 -

Bird-X COYOTE 3-D - 3-D Coyote Replica (Price range: $35-$65)

This naturally-looking (with a furry tail and reflective eyes) full-size menacing predator effectively rids an area of disease-carrying Canada geese. Dimensions: 29 inches (length) X 6 inches (width) X 15 inches (height). No assembly required.

You may purchase these either directly from Bird-X online store or find them on Amazon here (often at better prices).

Best Workout Programs and Exercise Equipment for Home

February 21st, 2012 tenpicks
Exercise

There are numerous home workout systems and programs out there. There are also quite a few different types of home exercise equipment on the market.

To help you navigate in the world of home workout and exercise, we’d like to bring you our today’s “top ten” list where we would like to bring you ten quality products to consider. The ranking is based on the popularity of these different programs and systems among consumers:

  1. Total Gym — You may have seen Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley endorse Total Gym on TV. They’ve been doing it for over 10 years… Total Gym’s main selling point is that they provide “an entire gym full of equipment in one machine”. They carry three distinct models; and position themselves as a product “for all demographics — ages 8-80 and from beginner to advanced fitness levels”. They have a 30-day risk free trial, often offer free shipping; and the product requires no assembly, which is always a plus.
  2. The Flex Belt — Having undergone numerous clinical trials, this has, actually become the first product of its kind cleared by the FDA “for toning, tightening, and strengthening abdominal muscles.” Once it’s on, it “stimulates the nerves that make your muscles contract and relax” yielding an effective and very targeted workout. They recommend using it for 30 minutes a day. Abdomen muscles are known for their capacity to restore quickly. So, the product can be used daily. Use coupon LEX10OFF at checkout to get 10% OFF your order.
  3. Bowflex Home Gyms — They offer 3 all-in-one type of machines: Bowflex® Classic Home Gym (priced at ~$650), Bowflex Xtreme® 2 SE Home Gym (costs approximately $1,600), and Bowflex Revolution® Home Gym (price: ~$3,000). Bowflex frequently runs online offers, and, as many others on this list, offers free shipping too.
  4. Live Strong Fitness — This home fitness-oriented online store offers a “complete line of treadmills, elliptical trainers and exercise bikes direct from the manufacturer” — and, naturally so, as they are “the manufacturer” themselves. They have an excellent selection of all sorts of home exercise equipment, free shipping, a 30-day guarantee, and they also donate a portion of their revenue to Lance Armstrong Foundation to fight against cancer.
  5. 1800Treadmill.com — Wide selection of treadmills, ellipticals and exercise bikes. Prices start at $299, 30-day “no questions asked” trial (as with the majority of other suppliers listed here) included, ongoing sales, free shipping on all products included.
  6. TRX Suspension Training — TRX “provides a total-body workout for men and women of all ages and fitness levels with just one piece of equipment that is easy to set up, use and store”. Such famous athletes as Drew Brees, Carmelo Anthony, and Jamie Moyer use it, and endorse it. TRX offers “a 30-day 100% satisfaction guarantee, a one year limited replacement warranty and access to free workouts and training tips in the TRX Community”.
  7. Beach Body — They offer a number of popular in-home fitness and weight loss solutions, including: P90X and P90X Plus (aka “ripped in 90 days” products), Power90, Slim in 6, Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs, 10 Minute Trainer, and INSANITY. Most of their products focus on transforming your body in 60-90 days.
  8. Nexersys — They sell what they call an “iNTELLIGENT and iNTERACTIVE iPower Trainer” which combines “the latest in exercise equipment and interactive gaming” and delivers “the motivation of a personal trainer, the benefits of a mixed martial arts high-intensity interval training workout, and the entertainment and feedback available from today’s gaming and computer technology”. It helps you do your cardio, improving endurance, inceasing strength, and improving mental acuity. Very interesting product, which is worth checking out.
  9. RushFit — This is “the ultimate home training camp, developed by mixed martial arts fighter and UFC champion Georges St-Pierre (GSP, one of the 25 Fittest Men in the World by Men’s Fitness magazine) and his trainer Erik Ownings”. The system consists of a set of DVDs featuring a “complete and intense MMA style total body conditioning program — a series of highly efficient and powerful workouts, broken down into five separate 5 minute rounds”. They do have a 30-day money back guarantee, which is good to know.
  10. iTRAIN — This one is very different from the rest that we’re listing here. They sell “highly motivating audio workout downloads combining high energy music and voice over of celebrity fitness trainers to motivate you through your workouts”. They have three purchasing options you can use for your workouts: A La Carte (starting at $0.99), Monthly Motivator (some $40-45 for every 3-4 months), and an Unlimited Resolution Package which gives access to their entire library of 300+ workouts ($150 for 12 months’ access).

If your favorite workout program or exercise equipment has been omitted from our list, we want to hear from you. You may post its information (and your testimonial about the product) using the “Comments” area below. Many thanks in advance.

Top 10 Best Selling Novels of 2011

October 24th, 2011 tenpicks

As the holiday season draws near, and we’re all thinking of gifts to buy for our loved ones, we thought of compiling as list the bestselling fiction novels of the Year 2011. Here is our list (based on what sells best across different online book sellers, including Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble):

Top 10 Best Selling Novels of 2011

- 1 -

The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes

- 2 -

The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks

- 3 -

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami, Jay Rubin and Philip Gabriel

- 4 -

The Litigators by John Grisham

- 7 -

The Affair by Lee Child

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

- 9 -

Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese

- 10 -

The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

Since this list has been complied two months before the end of 2011, we understand that there is still time for a book or two to enter the above list of bestselling fiction novels. Also, we appreciate the fact that “best selling” is not necessarily the ideal criteria to judge of the best novels of the year. In light of both of these, we would greatly appreciate your input. If there’s a novel we haven’t mentioned, but you believe it belongs on the above list, please post about it using the “Comments” field below.

100 Day Loans Review – 10 Pros and Cons

October 11th, 2011 tenpicks

Today we’d like to do something different — something we haven’t done before. We’d like to start reviewing various merchants and service-providers; but do so in a distinct fashion — by providing you with easy-to-digest 10-point reviews.

We’ll start with a payday loan service called 100 Day Loans. They’ve been on the market for a while (since 2005), and we’ve seen many of our readers go with their service via our Top 10 Best Personal Loan Lenders Online ranking. So, we decided to give them a closer look; and here’s our 10-point review of 100DayLoans:

  1. Fast decision (pro) — within just a few minutes you actually know if you were approved or not (yes, in real time)
  2. No credit check (pro) — which is always good for people with bad credit
  3. Secure and safe application (pro) — they are a “VeriSign Trusted” website, which means that your private information gets encrypted using SSL before transmission
  4. High approval rate (pro) — per what they themselves claim “4 out of every 5 applicants” are “approved on the spot”
  5. Vast network of lenders (pro) — they work with 150+ lenders, which increases your chances of getting the best possible deal on your payday loan
  6. Used by multiple borrowers (pro) — when we checked, they were sending money to customers “every 17 seconds”
  7. USA-wide availability (pro) — 100 Day Loans currently work in 48 states
  8. Fast access to cash (pro) — they appreciate the fact that you need money soon, and “in most cases, you can access your loan by the next business day”
  9. High APR (con) — at this time it exceeds 650%, but such will be the case with any fast-cash service
  10. Low amount — you may borrow only up to $1,000, but we were hesitant to mark it a “con”, because due to the high APR you really do not want to go higher

The company’s official website is easy-to-remember (which may also be listed as a “pro”, but since we expect the URL to match the company name, we’ve omitted this one from the above list) — 100DayLoans.com.

Should you have any 100 Day Loans experience to share with the readers of TenPicks.com, we would love to hear from you. For these purposes, please use the “Comments” area below.

Top 10 Best Personal Loan Lenders Online

Be it a payday loan, or other personal loan, now you can both quickly find out if you qualify (as it’s done online), and also get the money in your bank account pretty quickly too (in many cases “cash today” is the verbiage used).

In our today’s “top ten” list we’d like to bring you personal loan lenders to consider. As always, if we’ve missed someone, please do mention them using the “Comments” function below… But for now, here comes our top 10 list (based solely on popularity among consumers):

  1. AmeriAdvance.com — Quick cash loans via the Internet with instant online approval. As the company itself puts it, they “offer up to $1500 with no credit check and in many cases, there is no need to fax your information.”
  2. 100 Day Loans — “Once you’ve submitted your information, it takes less than 90 seconds to receive an instant approval response from our underwriting department. Once approved for a loan, we will send you directly to an electronic signature page where you can electronically sign for your loan. After you’ve read the terms of the loan, electronically signed and submitted the final step in the loan process, your loan will be sent directly into your bank account in as fast as one hour.”
  3. PayDayMax.com — This company’s philosophy is “A dollar today is better than a dollar tomorrow!” As they themselves put it, this lender “helps you maximize your purchasing power by getting your payday advance loan to you when you need fast cash.”
  4. Team Quick Cash — This is another site worth checking out. You fill out a “2-minute form” online, and if you “qualify for a cash advance for up to $1,000″, they will deposit the money “in your bank account that evening by a participating lender.”
  5. CashNetUSA — This lender’s slogan is “Make Anyday Payday.” They’ve been in business since 2004, and in 2006 they were acquired by Cash America International, Inc., one of the brick & mortar leaders in short-term lending. CashNetUSA’s services “are available in over 30 US states and growing” as they continue “to lead the way toward the future of secure online lending and credit services.”
  6. Cash Central — This one is “a qualified payday loan facilitator serving the financial needs of online customers with a staff that pioneered online payday lending and has over 20 years combined payday lending experience.” Just as all others on this list their specialty are short-term loans over the Internet.
  7. Magic Payday — The “team behind MagicPayday.com has spent years developing a system to provide customers with a quick and easy process to apply for a payday loan. The goal is to make it as simple as possible for customers.”
  8. PayDayLoanToday.com — As the website puts it, “our primary goal and mission is to provide our customers with the fastest cash advance service on the web, turning around cash advance service applications in 24 to 48 hours to get you the cash you need as soon as possible.”
  9. MyPayDayLoan.com — “Free no fax pay day loans, and payday advances with no credit checks for up to $1,000.”
  10. SecureMoneyStore.com — “Everybody finds themselves short on cash from time to time.” This company’s “simple 5 step form is quick, easy and confidential” with “no paper hassles and nothing to fax.”

Again, if we haven’t mentioned your favorite lender, please do mention them below.
