  "llm_summary": "Fake owl decoy sold by Pest Spike Company at pestspike.com, USD 49 (regular 60). Moulded plastic owl with realistic markings, REFLECTIVE EYES and a SPRING LOADED HEAD that rotates in the wind; fade and water resistant paint, suitable indoors or outdoors. The page is explicit that a decoy works by SURPRISE and that birds HABITUATE to one within weeks, so it must be repositioned every week or two and is not a permanent answer; where the problem is roosting on a ledge the page directs the reader to a spike strip instead. Its best use is an open deck, balcony, boat or barn interior with nothing to fix a strip to. Fulfilment is DROPSHIP (site SKU carries the (A) prefix). No effectiveness percentage claimed. Free US delivery over USD 75.",
