Does it stop the pesky RED squirrel? They are lighter in weight and smarter than the grey squirrels.

Not in our neighborhood. The red squirrels simply hang upside down from the roof and have a feast. I added a roof extension using a sheet of polymer plastic (the kind you use as a cutting board). Now when they try to hang down, it collapses and dumps the buggers on the ground.

It has an adjuster to make the stopper more or less sensitive to weight but I don't have any experience with squirrels

For me, it didn't even stop the grey squirrels. They learned to stick their head through the landing bar and lean back against it to prevent it from coming down and shutting the seed cover. Then as they leaned back against the bar, they feasted on the seed with their free paws. It's also difficult to clean and is prone to water retention as some stated, leading to moldy seed. The best one I found is the roller feeder, which I have had for many years with no problem. It's also fun to watch the squirrel try and fly off when the feeder cover rolls. http://rollerfeeder.com/

We found that it does stop squirrels, birds and anything else that wants food out of the feeder. It has a spring loaded landing area that with the proper weight applied it opens up and the birds can get the food, but the spring will not stay in place and after a few squirrel attacks the spring gets tripped and no food is dispenced. Hope this helps.

It stops the majority of them, but the really large ones can still somehow get around it. We used a trap to catch the big one and the feeder hasn't been bothered since.

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

This trap is definitely effective for grey squirrels. I caught, transported and released four of them in five days, using a mixture of birdseed and raisins for bait.

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.

They chew right threw it in days. The only one I have found that is squirrel proof is the Homestead super stop a squirrel . ( under $30.00!) My feeders are over 6 years old and have yet to be victimized by squirrels. Holds a lot of seed, just put it where the deer can't reach it .

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 :-)

I would ask the manufacturer. It works great on gophers but I've never tried on squirrels. Sorry

Yes, they are. The Squirrel Stopper actually stops squirrels! Wonderful product.

I don't think it is large enough for a grey squirrel. The box lists rats, chipmunks, red and flying squirrels.

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

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.

cannot say; it really did not work all that well for squirrels. I had to get a professional exterminator.

I'm sorry to say it does not work for me. The squirrels hang from the bottom reach in and pull out pieces of suet. I blocked the bottom and so they reached in on the side and helped themselves. I read a lot of reviews before I bought it. It got great ratings so maybe my squirrels are just smarter.

All we ever caught were chipmunks. The squirrel seem to be too smart. As long as the rabbits are small there probably would be no problem. It's up to you to evaluate the rabbits and check the size of the trap. If not the next size up maybe sufficient, but the trap itself does work.

Yes but lower attachments make it easy for the squirrels to just jump to them. Pole is not very high. It's all about placement of the attachments and how close the pole is to other objects. With a little repositioning the squirrels really don't bother trying and mostly just eat off the ground around the pole. We are happy with our purchase and find the starlings that visit to be a way bigger problem than the squirrels.
