I do not know. I simply use a wasp and hornet spray that can be activated from helpful a distance. wish I could have been more helpful.

i use this outdoors on my covered patio. the 3 flat wood pot holder surfaces may not do well on uncovered area that is exposed to all the elements

Nope! Not in SE Texas. I wanted this to work soooo bad. The concept is phenomenal! I followed the directions - placed it at a certain height to avoid perceived predators. I tried putting it on several different windows around my house and the only thing that built a nest in it was wasps. I have written several reviews for several websites and not one has been published. I wonder if it is my honesty or mentioning wasps - Save your money!

Yes, I've used it to do that plus knock down wasp nests under the eaves at about that height: just use the 0 degree (red) nozzle and you'll be fine. It's a good job for a warm day because you WILL get wet!

I bought it for yellow jackets and I can tell you it did NOT work at all. I was using the store bought peel and stick cardboard strips and they were working perfectly, although getting very pricey. I applied to this stuff to both the entrance and surrounding area as well as making my own sticky cardboard traps and hanging it up. This stuff did not work. Caught a lot of ants and really tiny mites, but that was it. I image the most it would do to carpenter bees is minorly annoy them.

Would this be strong enough to use outdoors for keeping pigeons out at a beach house?

Yes, definitely, although a slower process than most folks want (not always instant).This product is very strong & when you spray it in a certain area it allows the insect to walk in / through it & carries it back to th nest. You only need to use a little & even then only every 2 months or so.

I have used this under my main feeder as a trap, but the birds do fling husks and seed so it is not a cure-all. I have put plastic garbage bags cut open, under the seed feeder to catch the debris and empty it at night. That works well. Keeps the rats and mice from coming in also.

If the location has the necessary electrical access available and is kept protected from the elements it should be fine. Please also note any such item should be protected from roughhousing people, animals and small rodents which may think it is a good nesting site!

If you put these traps out sometime in spring when they start coming around you usually end up with the queen yellow jackets in the traps dead. We now have no nest. Keep them out until the end of the year when the're no longer around. Works great for the beheaded wasps, flies, nats...does not work for mud wasps

I personally know that it does work on yellow jackets. But you must be persistent because by any means they are hard to become rid of. That was my intent and have not used it for anything else.

Only if it has a place to hang. What makes it work is if the cage has squirrel weight on it making it drop down to cover seed ports. I have the large feeder with the cardinal ring and this one. This one the flickers, creepers and blue jays particularly enjoy because they can hang on the cage in any position. Brome, to me, is the best feeders on the market! We live in a rural forested area and its not unusual to have up to 30 - 40 squirrels trying to do anything and everything to get in the feeders. They even wrap theirselves around the cardinal ring and nap. Their only success is to do a flying assault to knock seed out on the ground. Only if it has a place to hang.

Yes.... Works well on any wood eating pests even termites to stop further damage to any wood type products in your house.... If using on the outside of your structure watch out for wind that will blow spray outside of the intended area or rain that will simply wash product away.... Use on dry non windy days....

Ulla, Cykick will work well on sowbugs (aka: rolly pollies). And it can be use around the home on the foundation, in flower beds, under ground cover, etc. Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

That I'm not sure. I've got blue martins that always try and build a nest under the canopy of my boat lifts. So I hang one of these inside my lift to scare them away when they fly inside. So far it has worked. I use to have a plastic owl hanging inside the canopy, but a storm in June with 85 mph winds sucked it out and I've never found it. These were less expensive, so I thought I'd give them a try.. Sorry I can't help with the woodpecker question.

I purchased the hawk to keep birds out of our garden. It worked well.I am hoping over the winter that it will keep the crows/birds off of our winter pool cover.

According to the company information it will not deter wasps that have already nested but it does deter any new ones from establishing one. I find this to be accurate from my experience. The drawback is that you have to bring it In from the rain because it's basically heavy tissue paper. Better would be to make them out of a polyester fabric so they can be out regardless of the weather. The posted range is about two hundred feet but I would guess the wasps would have to have really good eyesight to be deterred that far.
