I have a white vinyl fence and the birds are making a mess of it...does it damage vinyl and how can it be removed?

I cannot say for sure if the bird away will damage the fence. I doubt it would and would readily use it on my fence. I assure you the bird droppings damage many things, including painted surfaces. The bird away is really sticky and hard to get off your hands. Soap works somewhat, likely as a surfactant. I have used solvents like ethyl and isopropyl alcohol, and they work better. Acetone which is readily available in fingernail polish remover works well but probably will damage paint. I would use it to keep the birds away.

To clean the cage I remove all of the plastic levels and the wire top and scrub the levels and the base. It takes a little bit of time and the levels are a little difficult to remove. I found that when you pop one side off then drop it down the other side is much easier to remove. I hope that this has helped you.

Hello - Sorry for the delay in answering, just realized this was in the inbox. I've been using this product for a quite some time and it's always worked and has never damaged anything that it came in contact with. In past experiences, I have found that the best way to test any cleaning product is to first spray it the cleaning cloth and then gently wipe the article. In this case, since you will be cleaning bird droppings - paper towels would be the best way; clean and then dispose of the towels. Hope this helps.

The vinyl is tough but whether or not it will not be ripped by sharp claws is something I can't answer. There is a steel mesh and vinyl covered netting available from Howard Wire Cloth, Hayward, CA. That will certainly do the job - but it's expensive. http://www.howardwire.com/

If anything, you might be able to remove it by soaking the wood in water or heating up the vinyl. I was thinking of using this on my bike.

Don't know. My house has vinyl siding. If the're pecking on your house they are probably looking for bugs.

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.

No it could not. Unfortunately it is just thin plastic used to deter birds. It is relatively easy to remove by hand.

I can't remember what I used to cleanup..either paint thinner or acetone I'm guessing..but it is really sticky gooey wear rubber gloves as you will get it on your hands. It swells up a lot. I used it to keep out carpenter bees in my facia. After it swelled and dried I took an exacto knife and trimmed away the excess. Sadly yesterday I noticed sawdust on my deck..one had burrowed through although it states that it deters them...not my NJ Carpenters!...lol

It does not appear to have been treated, but I'm pretty sure those chemicals would be harmful to the birds. I bought this feeder to replace one that I'd had hanging up since 1991, so they hold up pretty well.

Very good questions. The sticky stuff's efficacy seems to wear off pretty quickly. Either that or the pigeons I "invite" on my balcony have learned how to avoid! The spikes have also not deterred them. And all these years I thought city pigeons were stupid? Not so! Good luck getting rid of your pigeons. I've just about given up! Oh, and I do not have leaves blowing around on my balcony so cannot address that issue, sorry.

all cages are made that way now days so, what I do is use a old tooth brush . You can also spray the grill with pam ( take the birds out first ) once a month it will make it easier to keep clean .

I know this is late but I want to put my 2 cents in. The grates are there so the bird will not eat its' own poop and become very ill and may even die. What I did was I moved them into another cage and take that one out and thoroughly clean it with the hose.

Our wall decals can be removed without damaging the walls, however they cannot be reused. Our vinyl is made extremely thin to look like paint on the walls when applied, therefore they will stretch and tear during removal.Simple Shapes

While it's not toxic to the bird, I cleaned the cage with this product while the bird was out of the cage, then wiped it down real good with a clean damp cloth to get any residual mess from the cage.

Do not buy this product. It is horribly difficult to remove. It will kill birds and even baby birds especially if it contacts them. It also Gathers bugs and makes anything that's visible to the Eye thatyou don't want to be looked at poorly seem 10 times worse! I do not recommend it!
