What exactly is the 'grease'? Is it petroleum jelly? What prevents it from drying out? Which grease bands are double -stick?

I don't know what it is but it lasts until the winter and then I replace it in the spring.

How do you get the stickiness off your fingers?. Couldn't do it with gloves on.

On the packages I've received, the manufacturers recommend using vegetable oil to remove the grease from hands. That plus a good rinse with washing up liquid afterwards worked for me. Also the hand wipes you get in DIY stores - for removing silicone etc from hands - do the trick. Otherwise yep avoid it with disposable thin latex gloves, we buy packs when on offer in Lidl and Aldi and keep them in the garage for various messy gardening tasks.

At what age of the tree should you use grease bands

Hi, From research, we can suggest that you use grease bands on trees that are 45cm (18in) above soil level.

Can this be used on a fence to keep our cats from climbing over?

NO! This is not what it is designed for. A very messy and difficult product to handle. It took me ages to remove it from hands, scissors etc. I think it would be very unwise to use it as you wish. If it gets on your cats fir they could try to lick it of or get in their eyes and on paws with dire consequences. You would have to cut the fir off or take them to the vet. Please find an alternative.
