Does this work for squirrels on my patio? Neighbor has a walnut tree, and squirrels are leaving piles of black shells on my patio that leaves a nasty stain.

It worked on the rats I had in my back yard, but apparently to younger people under 30 yrs old it pierces there ears, my son who is 16 said it is deafening to him, he told me people over 40 can't hear the high frequency.So if your over 40 and no kids around, your okay to use. Or if you want to keep kids away it works also, LOL.I did get it to keep dogs from pooping on my lawn it worked great. Until neighbors kid complained.

I purchased this for woodpeckers and blue jays but so far no luck. I do have a large baffle to detour the squirrels. It has been to rainy to put it back out to see if I can attract the birds I am hoping to see

Generally squirrels don't bother veggies or flowers...this product seems to attract Mexican squirrels which love hot sauce, that's my experience in bird feeders....moth balls spread on ground are an often used repellent...

Squirrels are rats with fluffy tails and as such they can chew thru this mesh easily.. NOT saying that they will because they can get all tangled up in the mesh. IT is my firm belief that it will help deter them but will not completely stop a dedicated fruit hungry squirrel. YES i would use it to make it harder for them to get to the fruit

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 don't know. I only have one unit that I keep on my back porch & it works great keeping the squirrels off the porch. Hope to be getting a unit some time soon for my attic.....I'm just waiting for my son to put a plug up there!

From experience, we know it IS effective for deer and rabbits. Don't know about squirrels. Might be a question for the manufacturer. We like it because it doesn't harm any animals but is effective for deer, which is our problem here.

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.

I am currently trying it for rabbits ... doesn't seem to be keeping them out of my garden.Also, be aware it is very stinky and red in color so it will stain.

The material is pretty flimsy so I doubt it would stop a determined squirrel. That being said I didn't have any squirrel problem at all. Whether it was because of the material waving in the wind or the fact that I trap any squirrels I see in my yard and export them across the river I don't know.Keep Smiling

I have squirrels also both the red tree type and the grey ground ones and so far they have not touched any of my units although they do make a mess of my drip lines, emitters and watering hoses so I sympathize with you.

Absolutely no problem with squirrels - the surround isn't big enough for them to get footing. I have one feeder hanging in a tree, and even so the squirrels leave it alone.

Gabriella,I have been using these for years ever since my wife and I bought our house in 2010. They are great for outside. They wont rot, easy to bait, and are very effective. You can accidently trap anything that will go after the bait so use bait that squirrels wont go after or place in an area that squrel's wont go, I use the deck by my pool. I used a trap on the corner of my house and yes did accidently kill a squirrel, but I had placed the trap up high. I haven't had a problem with stuff close to the ground.

Yes, I have used it to stop squirrel damage before. Soak the wood and repeat every couple months until the squirrels learn.

It's worth a try. I've given up trying to deter the squirrels - I just fill the feeders and watch who gets there first!!!!! With 6 different feeders, I'm sure birds and squirrels alike all get something!!!!

Works well on Florida squirrels because they are small. Not so well on Michigan squirrels, they are bigger, and it just slaps them on the head so they come back tomorrow and do it again.

I have a maple tree branch near my deck. The squirrels love it and there is no such thing as a squirrel proof feeder. I know. I've tried them all. They like this one the best. :-)
