Does this repel woodpeckers?

It is a thick gel which works by preventing th he bird from gaining a comfortable perch.It makes it difficult for the bird to move its feet.That understood, if you still think you want to apply ot to a vertical perch of larger expanse it would achieve a similar effect.

I'd call it more of a deterrent. The birds find it uncomfortable. Works better against smaller birds. I've seen some pretty big woodpeckers - don't know if they'd even notice it!

We did not have trouble, squirrels tried and got little, but the woodpeckers love it. I do not recall any other birds except the starlings.

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!

As far as I can tell, it repels nothing. I bought two. One I mounted under the hood. After two weeks they (mice) built a nest on top of it. They other I put in the cab. Rodent droppings persist. SAVE your money

I think it could have the capacity to scare off any bird, for a short period of time. Once they get used to it, it's a bit less effective.

I did not have that particular problem. I did not find the product very effective at keeping "critters" away from my garden. I will not purchase it again.

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

This product was absolutely ineffective when I tried to use it to repel squirrels from a garden. I think it does nothing.

I'm not sure. I tried using it only for deer, which didn't work. I switched to Deer Stopper that resolved the problem. I also used human hair and garlic, to repel the animals. It worked!!!

We don't have woodpeckers in our area, so I cannot answer properly your question.But, I prove it that does not works for pigeons as they said. Sorry not being helpful.

I had pigeons on my roof. It didn't deter them whatsoever. The pigeons crapped all over it so I returned it and got my refund.

Sorry, this device is not designed to repel domestic animals - it will not repel animals who are very accustomed to your yard

I don't have grackles, but it does keep out crows and jays. Even squirrels leave it (mostly) alone.

Not sure. I use it to repel deer. It really works. The deer usually ravage our hostas and day lilies. The Yard Sentinel kept the deer away, and this past summer was the first time we ever saw these plants bloom.

I imagine that they will nibble the leaves that poke through, but we used this as a bird deterrent. Worked great for birds.

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.

No sure. It's a clear gel and it creates a stickiness that prevents birds from landing and/or nesting. I was dealing with a large woodpecker pecking away at my privacy fence.
