Randy,
I've noticed on mature trees where I had yellow belly sapsucker
(woodpecker) damage and I've painted them, the birds do not return to
peck. I had quite a bit of vole damage last year where I had painted
trunks but no guards. I have started to add hot pepper sauce to the
latex paint should the critters make it though the guard.
