I want to keep squirrels and cats away from my bird feeders. Will it also keep birds away?

It just does not work. The deer graze within feet of the unit. I do not know about squirrels since they ar not a problem in my garden but I doubt this thin will help.

The unit does not work. No custer service phone number. Don't waste your money!

My experience says it won't keep anything away. The deer stroll right up and eat my fuchsias. The squirrels still dig holes in my garden and planters. As for birds, they still empty the bird feeder three feet away from the unit.

It has been sturdy enough to keep out squirrels. As for a cat, it will depend on how firmly it is fixed into its frame. If the fit is strong, it will take a fierce and tough cat to displace!

No. We have squirrels in the bird feeders on stands, but not on the window feeders.

I purchased them to keep feral cats from using my palms and plumerias as scratching posts. They worked out great! The openings in the grid pattern might allow a very determined bird with Small beak limited access. I purchased zip ties to secure the ends which you may be able to adjust wider to make it more difficult to get to.

I strongly doubt this would stop squirrels or chippies. I did get 2 squirrels caught up in mine and he couldn't get out. So MAYBE they would get frustrated, but I doubt that. They are relentless. I suspect they'd just chew thru it.

I use mine to keep the moles away so I havev't been paying attention to the squirrels. If I had to venture a guess I would guess that it would work on ground squirrels, but not on tree squirrels.

If they see it and can get to it and then figure out what it is, they probably would. I have used them for over 40 years and never had any problem, and yes we have squirrels, boy do we have squirrels. I sometimes have 3 feeders hanging from the gutter on a wire hooks on our deck, there are no trees around so I guess they just don't see them. This is a small one that I'll use in early spring and late fall when I don't have so many birds, then I use the larger ones in the summer.

I can't be sure about that, I can say that most wild birds are NOT deterred by my Yardgard. It should work on cats though.

Iwould suggest buying feeders that protect seed from rain while still allowing the birds to feed. Hang these feeders from your squirrel stopper.

I have a medal post onto which I hang bird feeders. I used the baffle on this post to prevent the squirrel from climbing UP the post.I don't think it would work on a wire as well as it needs to stops the animal from going up. There are baffles which look like large hard hats that I use on wires hanging from trees. These baffles keep the squirals from climbing DOWN the wires.LRG

Yes the bird feeder is adjustable on both sides and prevents any squirrels or small animals from getting the bird seed.

It kept birds away. Rodents got used to it. Get a cat, or launch projectiles with a barreled instrument.

My best suggestion is one should put a sign that no doves, pigeons are allowed to feed from this bird feeder. If they are decent they will read the sign and never come back. For the bad ones you should make it more weight sensitive by rotating the inner rod so that only light birds can sit on the perch. In general this is the best bird feeder we found which keeps the squirrel away. Before the squirrels were the sole eaters from our bird feeders.

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.

It will slow them down, or simply put some Vaseline on it, that will discourage them from future attempts, stopped out squirrels from going out on it

I've not had that problem and I'm not quite sure. The plastic covering the top may prevent the rats. I know the wire around the feeder sure helps keep the doves and pigeons out. Good luck.

No. I placed it under a tree in my garden and the birds still nest in the tree. The cats are gone.
