is this strong enough for squirrels?

Yes, and any critter smaller than a medium German Shepherd. As it usually goes at the bottom of a door, nothing can prevent them from climbing the screen up to the top of the door. You might need two of them.

It's really thick Plastic I guess it would depend on how determined the squirrel is. also he could climb it and get to your regular screen (that is unless you get the "Pet screen" we bought) it's really tough.

I honestly don't know---I don't have squirrels where I live. Maybe a metal one would serve you better.

It has been my experience that Squirrel proof is is a myth. To see the squirrels work in my yard is a thing of total amazement. This feeder is however as much of a deterent as anything else I have tried.

Yes. They don't make them like they used to. This model is definitely cheaper. If you hang it high and have squirrels and they knock it to the ground it'll probably sustain damage.

Unless it's mounted on a pole with absolutely no launch pads (trees, decks; from which the squirrels can jump from onto the feeder), then consider it squirrel proof. This is far from it. Squirrels hang from it and the seed scatters all over the place.

I would think it could work, I have never tried it. Unfortunately, The squirrels get to it before the birds

I can't answer that Karen. I use it for squirrels and it worked until it rained and I had to reapply.

I'm not 100% sure as had to send mine back - it was eaten by the squirrels almost immediately (within 3 days). Sent back to Amazon. Try the Squirrel Buster instead. I've had that one for over 1 year now and it's still amusing to watch the squirrels try to bust into it. Best one on the market

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.

It is certainly boyant but I do not believe anything larger than a squirrel would be able to effectively climb on it. It may give a small critter such as a little dog something to grab on to while waiting for assistance. I have watched a small racoon successfully hold on to it while enjoying some late night pool time. I really love this product as it has saved many small critters from a watery death.

Hard to tell, as we have 2 dogs, 65 and 90 pounds who do a good job of keeping the squirrels out of the yard. :-)

It works for squirrels and chipmunks. Place at least 4 feet or higher up the pole and put the feeder where they can't jump to it.

Not particularly squirrel proof but does a great job keeping away hornets and wasps. If you hang it from a thin diameter shepards hook and spray that with silicon it will make it very tough for the squirrels to get at it.

Absolutely. I've had it about 3 months, and have only seen 1 squirrel in the backyard. He was running for his life. I am having great luck with it. Before, the squirrels were eating through all of our chair cushions. Haven't lost a cushion since I installed it.

No definitely not, it won't even shock the squirrels that are just hanging on by the bird perches. Hope this helps.

I don't think it would work for squirrels since it's made to be placed in a hole where a gopher tunnels. I wouldn't pay mobey on it for that purpose.

For the most part, yes. Mine is effective to date against raccoons and squirrels, although at some point I would not be surprised to see a raccoon put it on the ground. Many squirrels have jumped on it with no discernible spillage. A worthwhile investment with excellent and personal customer service.
