Battling squirrels is a war that can be won by using a variety of devices and a little thought. There are "squirrel-proof" feeders
that promise to accommodate only birds and "squirrel-resistant" feeders that can help keep squirrels off and from destroying the feeder.
By placing a squirrel feeding station away from bird feeding stations help keep squirrels full and busy. Skewer some ear corn on a
nail driven through a platform or Cardinal Corner carries a chain and screw feeder. There are many types of squirrel feeders available
for feeding and entertaining. Squirrels are acrobatic and persistent. They can jump vertically as much as 4 feet and horizontally as
much as 8-10'. They can balance on a wire and if they can grip it - they can climb it.
Place your pole-mounted feeders 8-10' away from railings, roofs or trees. Feeders should be no closer to the ground than 4'. By putting a squirrel baffle on the pole prevents
them from climbing up the pole.
For hanging feeders, place the baffle above the feeder, making sure the feeder is place 8" away from a
jumping platform.
Try placing your feeders on a thin, horizontal wire attached between 2 points. Keep squirrels from walking on the
wire by covering it with plastic PVC pipe. The tubing will spin as the squirrel tries to walk on it. You may need to change the location
of your feeders a few times before finding that ideal location or you may have to trim a few branches that they are using as launch pads.
There are a few foods that squirrels usually will not eat. Safflower, thistle, plain suet or our Attractor plugs for our Woodpecker
Logs.
Place safflower in feeders that cannot be squirrel-proofed or that squirrels could destroy.

Close Off the Seed Supply
This Squirrel Buster Feeder uses a cage surrounding the seed reservoir to keep squirrels and larger birds at bay. The cage is weight sensitive,
and when animals over four ounces such as: squirrels, jays, or grackles rest on the perch, the shroud drops down over the seed port
so they cannot reach the seed. Cardinals will feed from this bird feeder.
