They are true Olympians!.. I haven’t had one Grey squirrel break the 5 foot mark yet (I started out at 4 foot and moved the metal cylinder up on one of my mulberry trees until my Trailcam showed no more breaches). But I feel if it were a peach tree, that they would find a way to jump higher. I find that placing foam rubber or a mound of old bird netting around the base of the tree denies them the ability to launch themselves up the tree (When the lowest limb is less than 5 feet and you can’t place the metal higher). The only birds I feel the Tanglefoot would present a problem is with woodpeckers, and if the woodpecker happens to be a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, I hate them more than squirrels. They have killed so many of my fruit trees.
