How to repel yellow bellied sap suckers?

[arboristCT]

Hello everyone,
Has anyone tried anything to repel yellow bellied sap suckers from trees?

maybe spotrete? I know its labeled for deer repellent only, but I've herd some people trying it.
also there is tangle foot paste for bird repellent but not labeled for yellow bellied sap suckers.

So does anyone know of a method that works or kind of works?

Um, pellet gun? I had one of those little snots do a number on my vibernum last year.

They work quite well if you are a good shot. Just aim and squeeze the trigger - and make sure the local wildlife warden doesn't find out!

This is how I recently made attempt to repel woodpeckers...(not really the yellow bellies tho, I believe they're lateral hole makers). Ground level to about 30' vertical alongside a lightning strike.

Here are a couple of publications for some ideas of how to properly deal with them...
