Bird Feeder Poles Q&A: How do to rid of squirrels at bird feeder?

Question by : How do to rid of squirrels at bird feeder?
We have pole bird feeder with a squirrel baffle on it and sits in the middle of a flower bed. My problem is that they are trampling all over the flowers. Tried some spray from garden store but no luck.

Best answer:

Answer by greydoc6
Rather than pay $ 49 for a squirrel-proof feeder, I built one myself. Cost about $ 100. Worked fine for a few days, but they figured it out. I added a few barriers, but to no avail, especially when snow deposits on the counterbalance. I’m thinking of devising a wire cage to allow access to birds but not to squirrels.

I also tried distracting squirrels with peanuts, but the blue jays steal them first.

What do you think? Answer below!
