A little (~one cup) went a long way in my case. I gave an average value rating because the gallon was the only size offered. I would have preferred to buy a pint or quart form my job. Even so the price of a gallon is still better than losing three fruit bearing trees.

Q:Can this product be applied with a paint roller. To high up to spray on. Using an extension pole and paint roller?10/2/22A:4 The Birds Liquid Repellent can be applied with a paint brush, but not a paint roller.

Q:If you spray this on pool deck will it be sticky on our feet?6/1/21A:I believe it will be sticky for some time. I put it on some tree trunks a few months ago. It is no longer tacky, but I do not know how long it took. I do know it was more than a few days.

Q:Is this product 100% polybutene ? I need 100% polybutene. The reason I ask is I thought that polybutene in mouse glue sticky traps was a thick viscous product, could not be poured out of a jug, maybe this product is "cut" with oil or something ?10/27/17A:It is 49% polybutene.
