I have one squirrel in my yard who has figured out how to bypass the baffles on my bird feeders. I don’t know how he does it. I’ve never caught him in the act. He either somehow shimmies up and over the baffle or takes extraordinary leaps from the ground or the bushes and cover nearby. But somehow, this one squirrel finds his way up and into to my pricey sunflower hearts.
But in my ongoing chess match against this and all the other “tree rats”, it may be check mate.
I bought a baffle with jagged edges that looks like the mouth of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Take that, squirrel!
This baffle is expertly designed by some of the finest anti-squirrel scientists in the world – M.I.T.-types. It protects any and all pole mounted or hanging feeders. It is made of a high-quality PP and won’t rust, crack or succumb to rain or sun. It rotates and wobbles when and if a squirrel tries to climb it, but most importantly, the sharp jagged edges are a super deterrent. They say a squirrel can jump vertically up to 4 ½ feet, but what squirrel wants to tangle with the Jaws of Death when he leaps up and at this baffle.
It’s fairly easy to install. If I can do it, anyone can, and it mounts on any rod or pole between .78 and 1.42.
As for now, my seeds are secure as I await the squirrel’s next move.
