PRODUCT,,, HOT SAUCE OR HOT PEPPER SEEDS,,, OR AS STATED ABOVE SQUIRRELL PROOF FEEDERS, THEY DO HAVE THEM AND THE OTHER IDEA IS TO HAVE THE FEEDER ON A POLE AND A BIG ROUND PIECE OF PLEXIGLASS UNDER IT LARGE ENOUGH SO THEY CANT REACH AROUND OR JUMP UP TO... FASTEN WITH RUBBER WITH HOSE CLAMPS AND YOU CAN MAKE IT ROUND OR SQUARE WITH A LINE TO PUT IT ON AND JUST RIVIT IT CLOSED AND ITS SQUIRREL PROOF, I DID IT FOR TEN YEARS,, THE POLE WAS A HOLLOW PIPE TWO INCH AND THE BIRD FEEDER HAD A ONE INCH POLE ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM SO IT CAME OFF AND ON EASILY TO CLEAN AND IN SUMMER PUT ON A THREE POLE PLANT HANGER. SO IT JUST WONT BE A POLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YARD.. AND KEEP IT FAR ENOUGH FROM A WIRE OR HOUSE OR ANYTHING THEY CAN JUMP FROM AND THEY CAN JUMP FAR.... AND BY THE WAY IT LASTED FOR TEN YEARS ONLY,, I GOT A DIVORCE AND MOVED AWAY, SO GOOD LUCK THERE :%26gt; JSquirrels won't leave the bird feeders alone. What's the most effective way to stop them?
Get a squirrel proof feeder. or but squirrel food and feed them too. We give our squirrels food so now they dont bug the birds, plus they are really cute!
There is an attachment you slide up the bird feeder pole(providing you have a bird feeder on a pole)


Its metal and looks like an umbrella, they can climb the pole but the pole guard doesn't let them get to the bird food.


I have one, my parents do. It works great, you can get them at wal-mart.
