I guess it depends on exactly what type of "stuff" lands on them. They also didn't do too well in heavy rain storms because the openings to keep the stuff out of the gutters were so small. The rain just rolled off the roof over them and into the landscaping.
Good to know, sounds like the holes need to be a little bigger although it may defeat the purpose.
I’m kinda lucky there are no trees near my home.
