My husband solved our problem with them with some stovepipe wrapped around the base of the feeder... five feet high! It is slippery and the squirrels can't get a grip. I was so tired of replacing our feeders. It has been up 3 years and narry a tree rat has yet to climb it. Squirrels:At our house we call them tree rats.

We have three "Regular" squirrels that like to empty out my birdfeeders as soon as I fill them up. They will take the sunflower seeds and leave everything else on the ground. Drives me crazy....The birds will not come around anymore. What a great idea. We have three “Regular” squirrels that like to empty out my birdfeeders as soon as I fill them up.

They succeed every time. You might want to market your bird feeder since it works. :) I saw a video on tv that showed the ingenuity of the squirrels trying to get into bird feeders.

I think we have created some Olympic- caliber athletes by the ever increasing challenges he presents them with. This just might work if we can keep it away from overhanging eaves and tree branches. Putting it away from the house makes for a very chilly re-stocking! My husband has been going crazy trying to outwit the black squirrels in our yard.
