will this hurt trees and will it work for woodpeckers?

I don't know about hurting the trees but I don't think it will but it will stop woodpeckers wherever you put it.

Will not hurt trees, but will leave a gooey, sticky mess. Need a flat horizontal surface to apply the product. I doubt it will work for woodpeckers??

This product works best if the bead of "sticky goo" is placed on a horizontal surface where birds are landing or nesting. I apply a 3" strip of blue painters tape on the surface first, then apply a long bead of Tangle foot. Works great!! No more nesting birds!!! in the fall I pull-up the tape and get rid of the messy goo, and re-apply in the Spring.

I'm not sure. We were hoping it would scare the birds away, especially woodpeckers. (Our house is all wood) But it did not work. Now it just sits there now as an ornament.

I purchased this for woodpeckers and blue jays but so far no luck. I do have a large baffle to detour the squirrels. It has been to rainy to put it back out to see if I can attract the birds I am hoping to see

I notice it does not affect the birds because of the frequency. Birds are all over my yard. There is a different repeller that is set a different frequency to affect birds. Not this one!

The product comes with a very large listing (inside it's folding label) of trees etc that it will kill. I suggest you buy one and see how that works. I bought several as I had 35 Oleanders to kill. And it works great. Just beware to follow safety directions.

This is great for birds but think of it as a chipmunk trap! The first year I used it, I didn't tie it round the base of my blueberry trees and I killed 3 chipmunks, they got caught in it and died a really nasty death. Now I tie it round the base of my trees, problem solved - no birds, no dead chipmunks and my blueberries are safe. We have plenty of squirrels but they don't bother the blueberries so I'm not sure about them. I do also open an old cassette tape and tie bits of the tape to to tree - the birds hate it. Hope this helps.

Yes, but with difficulty on larger trees. We use it to kill mesquite trees which stump sprout after cutting down. It usually takes several applications.

I don't know if this suet feeder would prevent woodpeckers from drilling into your home, I have several woodpeckers that feed from this feeder, but theyfly away after feeding and come back later, so you could try and put a couple of them out in your yard and perhaps they will feed from it and then fly awayand leave your house alone!.

Probably; however not what they are designed for. If you are asking if they will damage plants under your trees; I doubt it.

Using a caulking gun just spread around the area where the Woodpecker is attacking

Chris, Yes. In fact we've had really good results using it on woodpeckers. The key is isolating the target zone and being close enough with the mount. That means making sure you mount it within 15 feet of the problematic area where they're pecking or landing.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

I can't be sure about that, I can say that most wild birds are NOT deterred by my Yardgard. It should work on cats though.

Don't know.I can tell you it did nothing for pigeons.Pissed off my neighbors real good though!

Good question! I've hung these over raspberries, now they're in the apple trees. I'll try them by the eaves of my roof and see if they're effective. I'm guessing they will be. Those big tough tough woodpeckers scare easily. Re Robins, they are smart birds and not easily deterred. Everyone thinks the scare balloons are cute hanging amidst the garden, bobbing along. I'll definitely put them up again next year.

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.

It can but not recommended because it can burn the folage depending on the tree type. You need to be clear what kind of problem you are trying to handle. Contact me at 928-343-2729 and I can help you determine if this is really what you need to be considering. I am a licensed chemical supplier. Thanks, Rick

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....
