Is this something I could spray on a window screen? I'm having an issue with squirrels chewing through my screens and I'm not sure what to do.

I recommend you not use vaseline to deter squirrels. It gets into their fur causing matting and is very difficult for them to clean off. If they don't get it off, it can interfere with the insulating properties of their fur and cause them to freeze to death in the winter. Even if they can get all of it off their fur and skin, they clean themselves by licking and ingesting the product. It's petroleum-based and, while not acutely toxic, it can prevent the proper digestion and absorption of nutrients, and cause diarrhea and dehydration. Remember that what seems like a tiny bit of vaseline to you is actually a relatively huge amount when it's ingested by a squirrel weighing only one or two pounds.

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.

I have the same kind of windows but the birds were only crashing into the window part, so I did not put them on the part with the screen. I don't think the sky reflects on the part with the screen so I didn't bother. BTW these decals worked great. They don't hit the windows anymore.

Damage it in what sense? You want to protect the Screen protector? I personal use a basic microfiber clothe as you would on glasses. But all of the above would work fine just make sure you get an ammonia free glass cleaner.

I do not know but I would not want to harm a squirrel. A live-catch trap and relocation would be a better solution. There are probably squirrel repellents that could also be used. Good luck.

I sprayed the screen with Off or some other bug repellent and it did an adequate job of keeping out no-see-ums. Think most of the bugs came up from the ground, so as the other respondent indicated, it's important to have the tent well staked and the bottom perimeter kept down (I used boards). I used the tent primarily as a painting shed to keep bugs out of my freshly painted projects and it did a great job.

I think so. It might come off with moisture/ temperature since it is removable. I imagine it would be like one of those sticky cling plastic things that would stick to windows, just without the adhesive. I would give it a try. :)

this is kind of a hard question, but my guess is that you would make a solution of it and spray it on, let it sit, rinse and repeat. or maybe make a light paste? I suspect there are commercial products out there that would do the job more efficiently, and I would test a small patch to make sure it doesn't damage the glass....hope this helps....

You could either squirt it into a crack where no birds/mammals can get at it, or you can make your own bait station by cutting a narrow slot in some PVC tubing, and putting a brick on top of it so birds/mammals can't get at it (use two pieces of PVC for stability). Don't forget to label your bait station so anyone who comes across it knows exactly what's inside (for safety's sake).

These particular screen protectors do not come with a spray like some do. It might help, but since these may not be designed for it, I don't know what impact it may have on the adhesive

I wouldn't waste your money. I saturated my porch railings for 2 traight days and thenext day I found a squirrel sprawled out sunbathing on the warm wood that still reeked of the spray.

Product did not work at all for me, I sprayed it all around a motorcycle I have covered at my home and the next day there were holes that the squirrels dug completely surrounding my motorcycle. The product acted more like it attracted the squirrels than a repellent. I even poured the rest of the entire bottle around the entire area surrounding the motorcycle and the squirrels completely ignored the repellent. Save your money. Worthless product. Wish I could get my money back. Hopefully, my review will prevent others from wasting their time and more importantly, their money. If I could give it a minus rating, I would.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this but I do seem to recall the brand provides a bait-station like option. Personally, I never opt to use anything that might put my pet in jeopardy. I noticed that when my beloved dog was alive (he was a rat terrier/chihuahua mix), he made life miserable for the squirrels and other rodents as well as possums. We didn't have as much as a problem when he was "on duty". One thing I want to bring to your attention, however, is that when the rodents nibbled on the bait, there would be crumbs all around which would concern me. As well, my husband pointed out that birds thought the bait was delicious. I have stopped using the bait but still thinking about my options. Good luck.

The manufacturer sprays it with a bug repellent chemical. Not really needed if the bugs can't get through the net anyways, and personally - I'd rather not have a chemical that close to my nose.

My parents have problems with squirrels eating the engine wires in their cars. Mothballs and dryer sheets (like bounce) have worked for keeping them away. I don't know if this works for squirrels but I still have not seen a single roach since I plugged in the 2 riddex things.
