Starling Stoppers (#SS)

We’ve been listening for YEARS now that a percentage of starlings especially in the south are breeching the Conley II Entrances. What percentage of starlings breech a Conley II? From our study sites in Pennsylvania to customers in Texas to Minnesota and everywhere in between, our estimate is 88% of European Starlings CANNOT get in a Conley II.

This STARLING STOPPER is being offered to keep the remaining approximately 12% of starlings out of gourds or houses with Troyer Tunnels...Starlings and Purple Martins VARY in size across their breeding range in North America.

STARLING STOPPERS are not recommended for people trying to get martins to breed at their location for the first time UNLESS it is a public site or site that trapping and shooting starlings is not an option.

In some instances sites trying to get them for the first time could try them. Also we know of some sites that have NO martins because the starlings chased them away and hopefully with the installation of theses new Starling Stoppers will give the martins a chance to establish again

This product is most recommended for existing Landlords having issues with starling breeching the Conley II entrance holes

States that we hear the most complaints of starling breeching; TX, OK, AR, GA, SC, NC, LA, AL, & MS.

If you are from MN or WI we would not recommend this product to any one as from what we have gathered Purple Martins and starlings are larger in the Northern states.

Each Starling Stopper is screwed on to the front of the Troyer Tunnel (3 stainless screws are provided with each stopper) thus reducing the size of the entrance hole.

Once the Starling Stopper is installed (THTT) Tunnel Traps cannot be used to trap sparrows unless the Starling Stopper is removed which can be easily done by backing out the three stainless screws.

Features:

Made from opaque Polyethylene
UV Treated
3 Stainless screws per unit included

Wish I Would Have Know

I had just purchased an additional set of 36 gourds from Ravenox. I would have loved to have learned at that time (since they had my shipping address of Texas) that the SREH that I was purchasing could be breached by Starlings down here. I had no idea, and sure enough, they were. I learned about these additions on a FB page and purchased them. They fixed the problem! The Martins didn’t seem to fazed by them at all. This company was quick to respond to any questions I had and I got my SSs pretty fast. I wanted those Starlings out of there ASAP! I’ll be purchasing more of these later, I’m sure. Easy to install and they work!

Q: My gourds are about 20 years old. Have no idea what type they are. Would these work? Ty

Asked by: tj - 10/15/2022

A: Starling Stoppers will only work on the Troyer Tunnel that uses the Conley II Entrance hole. If you email me a photo of your gourds I will be able to advise you better. [email protected]

Q: Will these work on a super gourd with a porch Thanks

Asked by: Alan - 10/15/2022

A: Alan

Sorry no they wont. The Starling Stopper must be placed on a flat surface, the SuperGourd is concave. Now if you modified your SuperGourds with our Troyer Tunnel Conversion Kit for SuperGourds, this Starling Stopper could be placed on to the Troyer Tunnel.

Q: Can these be mounted on a wooden purple martin house? How thick are they?

Asked by: Barry - 2/24/2024

A: Starling Stoppers will only work on wooden houses if Troyer Tunnels are mounted on the house. Just putting starling stoppers on a wooden door will not work to keep starlings out.

Q: What are the dimensions of the hole that this insert provides? I have a wood martin house I need to install these on!

Asked by: Luke - 7/2/2024

A: Starling stoppers are not an insert. They are to be placed above the Conley II Entrance and will work ONLY when using the Troyer Tunnel. You would need to add the Tunnel Entrance with Collar first before you could add the Starling Stopper.
