Staples makes holes in the paint. I used 1cm wide strips of plastic looped around the wire then both ends of the strip poked in the gap between the the gutter and the facia board, underneath the gutter. Plastic strips cut from icecream containers or the black chain stuff used to tie plants to stakes was used, depending on the gap between the gutter and the facia.

On bricks and tiles, it was more difficult to stay stuck, especially when it rained. I ended up using aluminium duct tape cut into 1cm wide strips.
