Will this mesh stop squirrels from feasting or just the birds?

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

If the netting is kept off of the bushes it will keep the squirrels from reaching the fruit also.

Not sure about squirrels but it does stop birds eating fruits. Make sure fruits are not touching the net.

It stopped the squirrels in our yard. They did not try to break directly through the net. But you do have to pin it down to the ground or tie it off low or the squirrels will climb in underneath.

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

I used the coupler on a single pole. So if the shepherds hook is double at the end where you hang the feeders it should work, but not on a double pole. You will need at least 4ft for the coupler for the device to keep the squirrels off the feeder. Put petroleum jelly on the devoice and it really insures that squirrels can't get over it.

I don't have a squirrel problem so I am not sure. However, I placed this outside to keep the bird poop off my kids swing set... for the first week they stayed away.... then they just perched right next to it on the pole. After a week they knew it wasn't a threat.

We used it to keep squirrels out of our veggie garden. We built a metal mesh fence around the garden and attached it to the fence post. Then we bought plastic fastener to attach to the metal fence to hold the wire. We got these at the farming supply store. The ends of the wire attach to a post on the bottom of the unit. Then we attached the other end to another post and ran the extension of that piece to a ground post that we bought and installed. Hope it helps. It really kept the squirrels out of the garden without killing them Really freaked a few out though. Don't touch it with wet hands! We used it to keep squirrels out of our veggie garden.

The feeder is pretty slippery and my squirrels cant seem to get a grip on the feeder itself, so I really dont think that will be an issue with them eating through the plastic.

While this feeder is not squirrel proof, the all metal design helps to prevent damage caused by squirrels.

Yes! I used to have a BUNCH of squirrel in my bird feeders. Problem solved.

I would not recommend it for that, squirrels are very industrious and have all the time in the world the only thing that stops them is metal conduit.

The mesh is 1/4 inch. It would certainly keep any bird out, but if you are using the balcony a larger mesh, such as 3/4 inch, may be preferable.

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/

I think it would work best if the feeder was mounted on a pole and the baffle were placed under it. It still works great that way for me because the squirrels can't get beyond it to the feeder. It's wonderful.

I doubt it will, you would need hardware cloth ( a wire mesh) for squirrel.

It is clear and it did not stop the squirrels. My husband had to put a wide pvc pipe above it to keep them off. I will have to ask my husband to measure it for you.

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

The mesh is designed for sunflower seed with the shell on. Smaller seed will leak out. The birds love the feeder, but our squirrels love it too. You have to place it in an area where squirrels can't access it.

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 will keep them directly off the area you attach them to like eves and pitches of your roof ...you might block a path into your home but best to fix the entrance ...or an area they jump from a tree to the roof but they are not much af a deterrent to just keep them off ...you could also put them on the tree or along the top of a fence tp block a path to your house ...but squirrels are smarter than birds if they are in your home try fox urine crystals in a stocking they hate that and they will move on ... you can put that in the crook of a tree or in the attic or hanging from a string
