Does anyone have problems with squirrels? If so, how do you keep them out?

Squirrels are smarter than any human being so don't even try to outwit them. It's a waste of time. I, for one, welcome our new nut-gathering overlords.

I have tried EVERY product out there and NOTHING works.... EXCEPT..... This year a bought an owl, battery operated motion sensor. The head spins around when activated. It also "Hoots", after a while I shut the hooting feature off. You do have to keep repositioning the owl but the squirrels did stay away.

We had no problems with squirrels. We put it hanging off our porch and the birds loved it. Finished the entire feeder in 6 hrs. They loved it so much they started pooping all over our porch. We took it down and our now trying to find a sturdier hanger to place it in the yard. We wanted an attractive feeder and this looked great on our 1825 home..

Squirrels can be especially annoying, I relocated my sensor to avoid one certain pest who would climb down in front of the unit.

Mine didn't repel mice or chipmunks... I don't think it will help with squirrels

We just hung it from a grape arbor by putting in a bolt and an S hook. Squirrels are still on them all the time. It is not much on squirrel prevention.

I have mine outside on my screen porch and they keep the squirrels away. Squirrels were destroying my screen. Not sure about any other bugs. It doesn't bother the little lizards that live outside. I live in Florida.

Hi Dan, my problem was squirrels gettings in my engine. I sprinkled this around my car and it kept them away. Give it a try. I hope it works!

The PestChasers® will repel rodents such as mice and rats. They would not be recommended to repel squirrels.

No problems with that line and I've got two big dogs (about 70 pounds each) in the back yard. They leave it alone. Could it be squirrels or another animal?

Hi Thomas, Yes, they'll definitely take care of squirrels. See the two pics that I had posted. Roasted sunflower seeds are excellent for bait. Place 5-6 in the far back of the trap, 1-2 on each plate (to lead the squirrel into the far back), and 5-6 outside the trap around the entrance.

No they don't. Squirrels are strong, nimble climbers. You have to buy a squirrel resistant cone attachment or something else to prevent them from getting to the feeders.

I think you're on the right track but it sure sounds like a lot of work to keep those little buggers away from the new sprouts. Regarding the wet ground and discharge, I'm not sure. My installation with two wire mesh screens on top of the bird feeder keeps the squirrels off and I notice that when the snow covers the screens, the batteries seem to keep a charge going, although they may be running down a little faster. Wish I could be of more help.

I use a long poker that you would pull weeds out with. do not touch the poison as the moles will not eat it then. I have had no problem with squirrels and I live in the country. just prod until you feel an opening and drop one or two marbles in it. works better than anything I have ever tried and that is a long list. good luck

rub the pole down with vaseline. protects the pole, and squirrels slide right off. lasts quite awhile too. now if they try and jump to your feeder, make sure it's squirrel proof, the best kind I've found are the ones that close the feed holes when the squirrel jumps on. My deck is 40 feet above ground, so if they're brave enough to jump on the feeder, they can't make it back, and that's the last time they try.

Squirrels can get suet through the bottom. I have mine partially bloched with the tops of two cat food cans.

Wow, what kind of person shoots squirrels? That's horrible and you should be ashamed of yourself. How about putting it in a place squirrels can't get to or use a baffle.

I have squirrels in my backyard and they have never bothered the hammock. I do take in inside if the weather gets bad.
