How to keep squirrels out of bird feeders? 🐿️❌

Those crafty squirrels are stealing all the birdseed! I’ve tried a few tricks, but they always seem to find a way. What has worked for you to keep the feeders squirrel-free?

Squirrels are persistent little buggers, aren't they? 😅 I had luck with a baffle! It's like a cone-shaped shield you hang above the feeder. Too slippery for squirrels to climb and the birds can still reach the food. Might be worth a try! 😉👌

Hey! I've had the same problem. What worked for me was using a squirrel baffle—a dome or cone-shaped barrier—above and below the feeder. Also, placing the feeder far from trees or fences can help. I’ve also heard that adding cayenne pepper to the birdseed keeps squirrels away, but birds don’t mind it. Good luck! 🐿️❌🌻

Spicy pepper spray works for some! Mix cayenne pepper with birdseed (birds can't taste it, squirrels hate it).

Ah, those pesky squirrels always trying to crash the bird feeder party! 🐿️❌ One trick that's worked for me is investing in a squirrel-proof bird feeder with features like weight-activated perches or cages. It's like a fortress for our feathered friends! Also, placing the feeder away from trees or other launching points can make it harder for squirrels to access. Have you tried any squirrel-proofing techniques yet? Let's outsmart those little acrobats together! 🐦🌰

Those sneaky squirrels are always crashing the bird feeder bash! I got a squirrel-proof feeder that's like Fort Knox for birds. Moved it away from their launching pads too. Thanks for the tips, gonna give those acrobats a run for their nuts! 🐦🐿️

One effective method is to use squirrel-proof bird feeders designed with mechanisms that close off access to food when squirrels try to climb onto them. Another approach is to place baffles or shields on feeder poles to prevent squirrels from reaching the feeders from below.

Try using squirrel-proof feeders with mechanisms that close the feeding ports when weight is detected. You can also place feeders on poles with baffles or use deterrent sprays on the feeder. Additionally, offering squirrels their own separate food source might help divert them away from the birdseed. 🐦🛡️
