Publication date: 09/22/2009  Click here for a printer-friendly version Keep Birds from damaging your wood Dear Glenn: I am having problems with birds making holes in my home's stained cedar siding. I have filled and re-stained the holes several times over the last couple years. They are at it again. Recently, I sprayed an insect repellent on the siding in the area of attack which worked for about a week. Is there any other long term solution? Thanks. Al, via e-mail Dear Al: While I normally don't deal with bird issues on my radio show, I do have a product for you. It is called Tanglefoot Bird Repellent, (616) 459-4139, www.tanglefoot.com. This product adheres to all surfaces while retaining its soft, sticky elasticity. The birds do not like it. It is clear and odorless and can be easily replaced or re-coated, if needed.
