Stands up to the Arizona heat.
Well, I’m not one typically do a review. But the complexity of this one struck a cord with me. My first hesitation was in regards to wondering if it would just melt off in our AZ heat. Saw another review that said it would not. I totally agree. It stayed put and did not get fazed by our summer heat one bit. I was so happy with results of the first tube that I ordered another one but was still a bit short even after 2. The birds were gone instantly. It was amazing. My cars were getting assaulted by the birds. Like beyond belief. It was easy to install, not visually offensive. But then about the time the 3rd tube showed up, so did the monsoons. Here is where I lost a bit of my excitement. The leaves and sticks dropping from the tree in the storms would land in the gel and then fall further onto our cars. So about 3-4 weeks in and I was totally regretting my decision. I hesitated to use the 3rd one I ordered. Birds were gone, but now I had the most sticky gel spots, all over my cars. At this point I totally regretted putting this up. A few more weeks passed and I started to get a little bit of bird droppings again in one spot. I ventured up into the tree to find one area I didn’t get very well. I also noticed that most of the gel had a nice coating of very small debris, bugs and other fun stuff. I had also noticed the amount of gel hitting the cars had slowed way down as well. So I decided to go ahead and use the 3 tube on the spot I missed, and the other areas I hadn’t done. That was about 3 weeks or so ago. Still not getting much at all of the gel coated leaves and sticks coming down. At this point I’m torn, I don’t know if I would go this route or try using the spikes. The other down fall is as the branches grow down they blow and get into the gel also, so then when I trim anything in that area, I’m getting to a bit of a sticky mess. I don’t really regret it at this point. But the ease of install up front, kind of lost its shine by the mess after. I think this stuff is awesome and definitely works if you know what your in for.Pros:Easy to use.Works great at keeping the birds away.Not visibly noticeable.Cons:Sticky is an understatement. It’s a mess if you touch it or gets on what you don’t want it on. Once it’s installed, it’s a (near impossible) mess to remove.It does not go very far. My larger tree branch’s needed multiple beads. 10’ then turns in 5’ or even into 2.5’ on the really thick areas.Trimming the tree and regrowth into the gelled areas is a mess.

For the squirrels
I bought this item strictly because of pesty. Squirrels jumping on my high fence to my roof. So I bought this item, put the jel On the top of my fence on the sides of my fence.So when the squirrel try to jump on my roof it step right on the jel It jumped down off the fence and tried to get the jel off of it. It's a little costly, but I do recommend I buy it on the normal just for this purpose, the functionality of it. Is to keep those squirrels off?My fence, this is such a great buy

This works for pigeons in Phoenix!
Pigeons are a big problem in my area. Four years ago I applied one bead along the roof tile where they were gathering and they did not like it and haven't been back. My neighbor recently decided to bring chickens onto his property and pigeons started to hang out on a different area of my house looking for feed I presume. I applied a bead of this bird deterrent and they are gone. I would give this a try before spending money on any other solution.

Oozed out from the back in caulk gun
Very bad quality. The Gel started oozing out completely from the back when placed in the caulk gun creating a mess. Could not use it. It just oozed out from the back making a big mess on our hands, clothes and floors. It was hard to wash off and get everything clean.

This Product Worked Instantly!
This product worked instantly! Fought daily with a determined Robin who tried to nest over my front door. Found this product. I read several of the reviews and have comments regarding some of what I read. The suggestion of placing painters tape down before applying was helpful. Read the instructions! Some folks complained of birds dying. I thought it would require a bead of the product, but the instructions clearly state dots no less than 2" apart. After applying my bird landed on the ledge and immediately flew away and never returned! Because it wasn't a long bead, the birds feet did not stick to the product. The drops were plenty to deter him. As for some comments on usage, if you've ever used a caulking gun, you know what to do and it's pretty simple. If you don't know, read the instructions carefully. They state everything you need to do (ie: cut off tip and puncture inside). Good Luck! I'll remove my painters tape later in the season and most certainly re-apply each season.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
The media could not be loaded. I bought this product because I have issues with brown squirrels climbing my fence, to get to my house to get in my attic. I read another review where the person had the same issue and this item worked for them so I gave it a try.First the good: Since applying it on my fence I have not see any squirrels in my attic or attempt to climb the fence. So from that standpoint the product works.The Bad is that the tube is hard to open and the directions on the tube are somewhat lacking. First it is hard to cut off the end of the tube, and secondly there is foil in the tube that needs to be penetrated in order for the product to come out of the tube (but it never mentions that on the directions).The Ugly: Even though so far it has worked to keep squirrels away, it has killed lots of insects and smaller animals. 1 day after applying it, I found count less insects dead in the stuff, as well as several lizards and salamanders. They get stuck and are not strong enough to get out. It doesn't matter if you apply it in a line or in tear shaped beads, it will still trap small insects, etc.In summary, it works and I would probably buy it again but I hope this gives you the full picture of what to expect when you use it.
