Re: Simple Screen Gutter Guards Better Than Pro-Installed Systems (and way cheaper)

If you have maple trees, these screen-type gutter guards are pretty much worthless. The seed pods (the little helicopters) that maple trees drop in the spring get caught in the screens. The seed end slips through, but the wing gets caught and you have to go up and pull them out by hand. They won't wash out with water, won't suck out with a vacuum, and won't blow out with a leaf blower.

So if you put this type guard on, cut down your maple trees!
