can this be used on bird feeder poles to stop squirrels ?

I use the product to trap insects crawling up my fruit trees. First, you wrap the tree trunk with the tape and then smear on the goop. Judging from how hard it is to remove from your hands, a squirrel should be at least highly annoyed.

Good question. I don't know. I don't think the paper would work, but the sticky tanglefoot might. If you try it and it works, please let me know. Thanks, Bob

NO! In fact, the rough surface would make it easier for them to climb. This stuff is designed to add the equivalent of an extra bark layer (or armor) to a plant. I use it to at least slow down deer when they rub on slender trees. Hope that helps...O^Ocrm

No, this is to protect bark on young trees. I use it to keep a weed trimmer r from damaging tender bark if it gets too close. Also, to keep moles and other things near the ground from chewing the bark. I would use the metal cone like protectors especially made for poles that have bird feeders on them. They work great, also, last and last. Amazon sells them I'm sure.

No, I would not do that. It is meant to be used to catch bugs, moths - it kills them when they stick to it.

It can be mounted on a pole with a hook on the top to hang it from. It is a wonderful bird feeder which withstood a bear batting it around...and, while squirrels get on it, they can't get much because they can't get into the wire mesh.

As long as it's not sprayed on vegetable. Spray around them, not on them. I bought it for ground squirrels and it worked for me.

I think it would if you built a frame around it onto which you could adhere the mesh. I used it for blueberry bushes and it worked for me except the squirrels did find ways in to get the blueberries.

The pole is only about 2" in diameter. The baffle is wider at the top, maybe 5-6 inches in diameter, and tapers down to about 3". I definitely think it would stop raccoons since the squirrels can't jump high enough to get over the baffle. I doubt they would either. I've had this up since March of 2011 and nothing has raided it yet!

I do not know because I did not want the birds around. Worked well so try different places and see what your radius is. Not sure where your bird feeders are. Good luck.

I wish I knew how to answer your question, but I really don't know ! I love how mine works perfectly for keeping the squirrels away :-)

No, not on squirrels. I bought this to use on gophers but discovered that instead of gophers, I had moles. It doesn't work on moles.

I would not recommend this product as a deterrent of squirrels on any surface. I used it on wood with very liberal applications and it didn't phase the squirrels in the least.

Placing the feeder on a pole that is 10 feet from any tree or potential location where the squirrel can jump from helps to deter them from the feeder.

Mine is on such a pole, although I don't believe anything larger than an inch will work. The feeder certainly will stand on a pole, but you need a baffle below for squirrels.

I bought it to scare squirrels from our Mango trees. It did not work for squirrels at all. Squirrels would sit right in front of it with one of my mangos. I would click the remote to sound the alarm and the squirrels just kept chomping..., no effect at all. Also, device kept sounding off when a little wind made some leaves move (even on least sensative setting). It absolutely does not work on squirrels. I cannot say it will work on birds but, based on how well it works on squirrels, I have my doubts.

It's not a feeder that will sit on top of a pole. It hangs and is somewhat hard to pu the lid on tight when you fill it. Not squirrel proof.

I think it would be effective on squirrels, but we also have many birds at our bird feeder and we don't want to disturb the birds. Both eat in the daytime. We have caught squirrels in a live trap and moved them to another wooded place. We make bait with peanut butter smeared on a piece of thick paper and press sunflower seeds into the peanut butter. We call it "Annie bait" because our 8-year old granddaughter, Annie, came up with the idea. Take the squirrels away at least 3 miles or they may return.

I think your pole is too big. Mine is about one and 1/2 inches in diameter and the baffle just won't fit. The best thing I did was to hang a corncob nearby for the squirrels. They are as much fun to watch as the birds. Since I did this, they no longer even look at my bird feeders. Now my problem is the raccoons. I wish they were as easily distracted as the squirrels. Good luck - I hope you find a solution but I don't think this baffle will work for you.

I mounted mine on a regular pole for bird feeders no problem -- hole on bottom of feeder slid right over the pole .
