Unfortunately, the answer is no you cannot make him stop. Even if you get rid of 1 squirrel more will come.





The best solution is a squirrel proof feeder. The most reliable is all metal and has a tilt mechanism that closes the opening to the seed if the squirrel tries to get at it. These cost about $75.





There are other designs but they are even more expensive and of dubious reliability





The hanging mount is best, because it also keeps the raccoon from raiding the feeder at night. With a pole mount the raccoon can do what the squirrel cannot.





It is actually very comical to watch the squirrel try to beat the tilt type design. They go through all sorts of acrobatics, but always fail.





I have been using this type of feeder for 20 years with 100% success.There is a squirrel who always eats out of my bird feeder, is there anyway to make him stop?
Short answer, no. You can dissuade the squirrel a bit but that is all. One way is hanging the feeder from a horizontal line, higher than the squirrel can jump. You need a ladder to fill it. Since squirrels can walk the line. you have to string 2-litre soda bottles on the line, through the mouth and a hole in the bottom. The loosely-attached bottle will spin and dump the squirrel. You can also get red pepper to coat the birdseed. Birds like it. Squirrels don't. Aside from that, the other ';solutions'; are lethal to the squirrel.
The national autobahn society many yrs ago did a study , If you get a silhouette of a bird of prey and hang it in a tree close to your feeder you will most probably at least for a time enjoy no squirrel.


But that same applies to all the little birds you enjoy watching , MY ADVISE !! KILL the little Bastard.
maybee you can changee the typee of seeds, try sunflower seeds..i dntt think squirrels will enjoy thosee
considering it is open range, it does not know better, try talking to it.
Yes. A .22 or a good pellet gun will make him stop. It is the best way to get rid of these pests.
