I need help in getting rid of squirrels?
Question:Do you know a home remedy to keep squirrels out of my bird feeder? I don't want to use poison ot traps, there must be some sort of homemade mixture that will drive these little rodents away.
Answers:
If they're climbing a pole to get to feeder, cut holes in bottoms of 2 or 3 liter bottles & thread them onto pole. Can even smear a tad of Vaseline to make more slippery.
-or-
Fill a 2 gallon jug 2/3 full w/the birdseed & add a heaping Tablespoon of Cayenne pepper. Shake well & pour into bird feeder. Birds cannot taste it but the squirrels can & although it won't hurt them they don't like it!!
yeah, an airgun will take care of the problem for good.
but you're too chicken to face reality.
Nothing I have found works. I have the covers and everything... What I have done is started buying them corn and a corn feeder and this has kept them very busy!
Hi,
you can buy squirrel proof feeders.
They have a metal tube on a spring and when the sqig climbs on the top it's weight pushes the tube down covering the nuts.
You could make one yourself using a rainwater down pipe in place of the tube and support it on a soft bungee cord instead of a spring.
