No more chipmunks in my garden!

We have a wooded lot and a lot of critters. The chipmunks and rabbits love to eat all of our flowers. Since applying this, I have seen a single critter in my garden. Love it!

I tried noxious sprays and netting but nothing seemed to keep the deer away from my front yard.  They lived there and ate my shrubs and flowers and left not so little piles of fertilizer.  The scarecrow is great.  It detects their motion and gives a brief spray that keeps them away.  My flowers can now bloom and my shrubs are coming back little by little.  While not cheap I am glad I have my scarecrow.

I wish I had known about this product last year.  I have a ton of squirrels and chipmunks that live around my house and they destroyed my garden last year.  This year, with the electric fence, my garden is thriving!!!!!!  LOVE this product and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is having "critter" issues in their garden!

This had absolutely no effect on squirrels or chipmunks. Do not buy if thats what your looking to use it for.

In order to try to prevent the deer from our garden, we got four predator eyes and put them in the center of our garden facing all ways.  They were solar and came on at night as described.  The only thing is -- they did not deter the deer from our garden at all even thought the lights came on and blinked all night.  The deer demolished the whole garden which consisted of okra, beans, 13 tomato plants, 6 green pepper plants, squash and zucchini.  The only thing the deer didn't eat were the jalapenos!  Don't buy these if you are wanting to rid your garden of deer -- they don't work to keep the animals out of the garden!

Owls, especially Great Horned or Barred (which this unit is based on) are are prime predators of small rodents like chipmunks.  We were overrun with them, digging holes everywhere, and more concerning, eating our blueberries, tomatoes and even eating away at cantaloupes just as they would ripen in our veg garden.  I bought this unit hoping for the best BUT, even with it mounted about 6ft off the ground in the garden, it had no effect whatsoever on them.  I moved the unit every other day for a week but no good.  I would watch the chippers eating away at stuff right below the unit while the owl head was turning in the wind or sunlight!!!

This is not only keeping moles out of my yard but also it's keeping all sorts of critters from digging in my mulched gardens!  Just be sure to follow the directions so that you get any current occupants out of your yard and don't block them in by mistake!  Very easy and won't hurt my dog!

So happy we bought this. I live in New England and we are surrounded by really old stonewalls and forest.  Chipmunks and squirrels are abundant in our area.  I started feeding the birds last fall and it was a struggle to keep the little 4 legged creatures out of the feeders.  We have had this trap for about  2 months and we have caught 5 chipmunks and 1 squirrel.  We just relocate them to a wooded area with no homes around and hope it is far away enough that they don't come back for free meals. :)  Very pleased with it. We used bird seed as bait.

As of 8/2/2014 We just caught another squirrel and a chipmunk, too!

We have lived in this house on the edge of a swath of common land woods for just over three years now. We had never before lived in a home with so many deciduous trees, as our previous yards were either northern and spruce, or very warm and palm-treed, and while we are thrilled by the many varieties of Eastern songbirds and small birds, we were NOT thrilled by the many, many very large and determined grey squirrels who have been raiding our feeders. After a couple of winters of trying we have succeeded in using cages or long hook-and-chain suspensions to prevent the grey marauders from emptying the small and large Yankee feeders, but we still like to put out a double shepherd's-hook with suet feeders on one side and a triple-chain0hung round tray feeder for such birds as juncos, wrens, and cardinals which prefer ground or flat feeding -- we have even seen mourning doves in it-- and unfortunately at least one of the property's squirrels had figured out how to climb the shepherd's-hook pole and completely empty that tray. Birdseed is not cheap, and the squirrels here do not need it, as the forest is all oaks and beech trees, and there are plenty of acorns and beechnuts! When I saw this baffle was guaranteed to thwart the squirrels, I was doubtful but willing to try it. It WORKS! It really does! Not a squirrel has reached the suet or tray feeder since it was installed. [It even prevents the (at least) NINE deer from reaching anything above it, and one of them had figured out how to empty a Yankee feeder.] I have watched squirrel(s) climb the pole, try to grab the baffle edge (it slips them off), try to reach past the baffle edge to the edge of the tray feeder (the baffle is too wide for their short arms!) and eventually slide back down the pole. We installed it at the recommended height and they are not able to jump past it to the suet and tray either. One squirrel actually came and stood at the base of the pole, put its paw on the pole, gazed upward at the baffle, and then, as if remembering past failures, simply shook its head, shrugged and went back to looking under the suspended feeders for anything that the birds might have spilled. We are SO pleased! This baffle is absolutely perfect. Only woodland birds eat our seeds now, and the cost has become reasonable! The squirrels remain fat, and spend a lot of time digging up the many acorns they buried two months ago, so you needn't feel sorry for them! What a joy! Anyone who has a pole bird feeder should buy this baffle! It is perfect! Yes!

After months of fighting squirrels at a feeder with an open tray (we kept that one for available feeding for cardinals, etc.), we broke down and paid the money for this Brome 1024.  Should have done it this spring.  No more squirrel congregations in our front yard, but the ring makes it possible for the cardinals to feed there.  The squirrels quickly learned they couldn't get any food from this fine feeder!  Saves mess, time and money.  We already had two other types of Brome feeders that work well for our smaller birds and are squirrel proof.

Finally!  The squirrels are gone!  I live on fourteen acres and there were always 15 to 20 squirrels around my bird feeders during the day.  I was going broke trying to feed the birds.  My dogs got tired of chasing the squirrels away from the feeders and would just sit and watch them.  I tried every "squirrel deterrent" feeder around and none of them worked - until - this one.  WOO HOO!  The squirrels don't even bother to climb the pole any more to try to get into the Squirrel Buster Plus.  I was hesitant to buy this item because I thought it was a little pricey, but the money I'm saving in bird seed is definitely worth it.  My pocket book thanks you - and so do the birds.

I've gone through many bird feeders over the past few years. They've all either been broken by squirrels or the occasional bear. I decided to splurge on this feeder in hopes of saving on the seeds stolen by the squirrels. It worked great for the squirrels since they are heavy enough that they can't access the seeds, how, the chipmunks are light enough that they're still able to steal all the bird seed from it.

I filled this feeder up yesterday and it's already empty less than 24 hours courtesy of this chipmunk and his friends. So, I'm not sure how to rate this feeder because I'm still unable to feed the birds. Lol.

Great product. Took care of my chipmunk problem. No muss no fuss.

I was so tired of the squirrels destroying my bird feeder!  They would climb up the pole (two at a time sometimes) and actually bend it down so it was almost to the ground.  Then they would chase off the birds and pull the thing apart!  I went through 50 pounds of seed in just two months and most of it ended up on the ground!  I didn't want to spend money to get something that I wasn't sure would work-- but it DID!  Unfortunately I wasn't home to witness (or amuse myself) with their clever attempts but did see the tell-tale little muddy paw prints going up the pole just to find that they couldn't make the jump to the feeder!  The next day I saw a few muddy prints on the bottom side of the baffle where they attempted to pull the side down so they could jump across.  It tilts down quite easily so there was no way they could get to it!  I installed this on a Wednesday and couldn't wait to watch their antics on Saturday morning while drinking my coffee.  Alas-- they had given up by this point and were just happy eating whatever shells and seeds were kicked out by the birds.  My seed consumption is 1/3 what it used to be-- birds are more plentiful and the squirrels to this date have pretty much just given up.  Great product!

Deer and squirrel problems no more!  Since purchasing a couple of weeks ago I have read some of the other reviews, and yes you do get what you pay for, but mine works fine.  I do shut it off during the day as it seems the motion of damp leaves blowing in the breeze sets it off, but at night it does its job.  It is plastic, and for about 3 times the price or more I could have purchased a more durable model, but I bought the cheaper one to see if it would actually do the job before investing higher dollars.  And now after owning for 2 weeks, I say the same..."deer and squirrel problems no more!"  If I get a season out of it, then it is worth the buy, and guess what, I haven't lost another cucumber to a rabbit since I installed it.

I have chipmunks and mice, tons of them.  They go in this trap, eat whatever I put in it, and then crawl out.  I haven't trapped a single one of them.  Don't waste your money on this trap.

Tried seeds, tried fresh fruit, tried spearing peanut butter and gobs of it inside only to watch the little devils dance all around it, not once have these 2 devices trapped not even one chipmunk.  7 days and nothing.
Now, a month later, loading half full with sunflower seeds and spreading them around the trap, the one chipmunk that has been wreaking havoc around my property digging up the lawn and garden beds CAUGHT.  Took almost a month, and it is the only chipmunk out of the 10 I caught with Hav A Heart, but it did catch the one I really needed CAUGHT.
