Where should I place my squirrel proof feeder?
Position your squirrel proof bird feeders at least 10 feet away from trees, fences, or any structures that squirrels can use as launching pads. Ideally, bird feeders should be placed on a smooth, tall pole with a squirrel baffle, making it more challenging for squirrels to climb.

Squirrel Deterrent Spray
Our Hot Nuts Squirrel Deterrent Spray is a ready-to-use, natural, and humane repellent that can be applied to bird tables, nut feeders, and suet balls. The spray's spicy scent and taste will deter squirrels without harming them or your garden birds.
-
Spicy Seed Mixes:
Some bird food blends are treated with hot pepper extract, like our hot pepper suet cake, which is unpalatable to squirrels but doesn't affect birds. Experimenting with spicy seed mixes can be another way to deter squirrels.
-
Feeding domes:
Feeding domes like our Squirrel Proof Ground Feeding Dome provide a protective barrier for ground-feeding birds. These domes are designed to prevent squirrels and larger birds from accessing the feed while allowing smaller garden birds to feed in peace.
Benefits of Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders
Squirrel proof bird feeders provide several advantages for bird enthusiasts. They help protect bird food from being eaten by squirrels, ensure that your bird feeders last longer, and allow you to enjoy the company of garden birds without worrying about squirrel interference.
Should I feed the squirrels?
Providing a separate feeding area - such as a squirrel snack box - for squirrels with squirrel mix or other food they prefer can sometimes help to keep them away from your bird feeders.
