will it keep red squirrels out?

This item didn't keep anything out - large birds and squirrels alike just enjoyed the buffet.

I can't say for sure, but I don't think so. I think that they are small enough that could fit through the openings.

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.

as far as I know, yes. I have red squirrels also and they can not get inside the cage, but they do try!

No definitely not, it won't even shock the squirrels that are just hanging on by the bird perches. Hope this helps.

I bought mine for pigeons and it does not work very well. and I found one of my dogs with a squirrel in its mouth the other day, so not sure if it will scare them away.

It is NOT resistant to squirrels... As my "hole-y" lid will attest. Keep it indoors, or spray it with a deterrent.

well it keeps out cats, and I suppose it would keep out mice as well. the color is more of a deep salmon than a true red

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

Will work if feeder can accept 4 screws or bolts through bottom to attach to plate at top if pole. We use an Audubon Torpedo baffle on the pole itself to keep squirrels from climbing the pole. It works.

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 feeder is not designed to be squirrel proof. We would recommend hanging the feeder from a baffler to keep the squirrels from getting to it.

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

The sparrows are the largest ones that can get in to it. Mostly chickadees and it will keep out the squirrels. They tried and finally gave up.

Yes, because they are too heavy. Also keeps squirrels out. However, if you have bears make sure the feeder is very high up. We have lost two feeders to bears. Now it is on a pulley and we have it very high.

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.

As far as the squirrels been able to get in...yes it would be good. However, I would keep it away from the sun.

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 would think it could work, I have never tried it. Unfortunately, The squirrels get to it before the birds

You are welcome Suzy, and btw this was. He best thing I could have done. It won't keep out the little red squirrels but the big gray ones have all but given up. At first they figured out how to open it by jumping on it so I needed to secure it down but it worked.
