How To Keep Squirrels Off Bird Feeders

It's not easy, but there are some techniques you can use to try to keep squirrels from eating all the food at your bird feeders. While it's nearly impossible to have a completely squirrel-proof bird feeder, there are steps you can take to keep squirrels at bay. t's important to note that you should never grease a pole. Doing so is very harmful to birds, as that grease can get on their feathers. That can cause the feathers to get matted down and not only make it more difficult for the bird to fly, but also result in the feathers losing their insulation capabilities, which is vital to keeping the birds warm.

2 big cats worked wonders!!! They don’t catch them but they keep the squirrels away

I rub crushed habernera peppers mixed with grease on the galvanize tin that I use. They attempt to run up galvernize pole, but jumped off when the pepper gets them

My resident squirrels tip the birdfeeder and spill the seed onto the ground. Cayenne pepper and chili powder mixed into seed does not deter squirrels. Our squirrel dumped the feeder last night and is now sitting under the feeder and eating.
