Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How does BeakGuard work to stop woodpeckers?
A: BeakGuard acts as both a protective coating and a sensory deterrent. When a woodpecker pecks at the treated surface, it encounters a safe, highly unpleasant taste and texture, signaling the bird to abandon the location.
Q: Is BeakGuard safe for pets and wildlife?
A: Yes. BeakGuard is completely humane and non-toxic. The active deterrent ingredients are commonly found in household consumer products, including children's anti-nail-biting and thumb-sucking deterrents.
Q: What surfaces can BeakGuard be applied to?
A: It is formulated for exterior vertical wall surfaces and siding, including wood, fiber-cement, stucco, aluminum, and vinyl. It is not recommended for horizontal walking surfaces.
Q: How many coats should I apply?
A: For maximum crack-bridging and long-term woodpecker protection, applying two coats at a minimum thickness of 7 to 10 wet mils per coat is strongly recommended.
Q: Can I get custom colors?
A: Yes, custom paint color matching is available exclusively in 5-gallon pails. For custom color orders, please contact our office directly at 800-392-6915.
