Tanglefoot makes a sorry mess of birds and the stress of
having it cleaned off usually does them in.

I would rather no one bought the stuff for any use - it only
encourages the manufacturer.

>>a simple non-toxic solution was a product called
Tanglefoot. Basically sticky goop that the ants cannot
crawl across, which doesn't hurt a tree.>>>
