Is this squirrel proof? I've tried using a BB gun but I am a horrible shot.

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.

Not particularly squirrel proof but does a great job keeping away hornets and wasps. If you hang it from a thin diameter shepards hook and spray that with silicon it will make it very tough for the squirrels to get at it.

I do not know but I would not want to harm a squirrel. A live-catch trap and relocation would be a better solution. There are probably squirrel repellents that could also be used. Good luck.

Have not taken on any squirrels but it will punch through a soda can like it was nothing. Accuracy is very good and it is a nice accurate copy of the M14. I'm pretty sure that if you go after a squirrel, at the very least he's gonna know he's been got!

It's only squirrel-proof because you attach it to a glass window, and unless the squirrel can climb on glass, it's safe. :) If the window is small, though, a squirrel could jump from the window frame to the feeder. At that point it would be fair game. I don't think the feeder itself is squirrel-proof, just the location. Any overhanging tree limbs or shrubs might be a problem, too.

No it cannot, its just a pellet gun. You can however use it for small game such a rabbit, squirrel and pigeon.

Cathy, I just don't know. I think it is possible that it would hurt them. I have it set up in my basement and have never had a problem with squirrels there. Good luck. You might be able to create a "door" on the front of the Zapper, that would prevent larger animals from entering, but allow mice to get in.

I never tried but I have one that the squirrels have eater thru the plastic top and we replaced it with a piece of 1/4 steel. They then ate thru the box and destroyed the wires in the battery box. Definitely, this unit is not varmit proof and the plastic top is most vulnerable. Unit worked fine until the squirrels destroyed it.

No , you need a lot more FPS and a bigger round like a .22 pellet , to be able to humanely dispatch a squirrel , you never want to make an animal suffer even when it is a nuisance pest as squirrels can sometimes be .

Suggest contacting manufacturer, or supplier/distributor, that info should be on Amazon website. We've not had squirrel breakage, just feeding. Try Vaseline or WD 40 on dome cover,hook, or staff. Move it away from tree branches in jumping distance.

i have used bb's to kill lots of things. not a lot of rats around here, but they should work since i have extinguished mice, pigeons, squirrels, ground squirrels and even a rock chuck or two with bbs. just make sure your crosman can shoot bbs and you should be good.

Yes, but it requires PERFECT shooting for a penny sized kill zone. Otherwise squirrels will run. Heart/lung shots are not acceptable for humane kills.

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.

Oh, by the way...avoid the steel shot they sell at the sport goods store. They can seriously bounce back and smack you in the face!! Its better to buy some Hornady .44 cal lead balls, like the kind used for blackpowder pistols. Heavier, but more knockdown power and much less chance of riccochet. Thats what I use for squirrel and possum hunting.

No, I don't think it would kill a squirrel. Not enough power behind the shot.

Great starter gun. Once you get the gun sighted in, it is deadly for birds and squirrels at 50 to 75 feet.

I dont hunt squirrels, but think this Destroyer pellet would be just fine in that case. It is designed to mushroom upon impact rather than going completely through your target. My only kill so far was a crow, and it took off right after I fired, making me think I missed. Wrong, found crow dead on the far side of a fence 100 ft away.

I can verify that it is DEADLY for squirrels.I personally have 'taken care of' at least 40 who thought my backyard bird feeders were for them.I have it sighted in for EXACTLY 70 feet... without the scope, and more often than not, the squirrel is no longer an issue. :)
