Squirrels pinching bird food!!

Nursebooby

We have 3 or 4 in the garden at one time. Whatever we do they come back and are really aggressive. We bought a metal bird seed holder (tall one, in the hope they would stay away). Today I greased the pole with olive oil....best laugh I've had in a long time. The so and so's kept pinching the bird seed...now not a chance they just jump and slide down the pole.

Try Caustic soda, it worked for me.

Try a plastic upturned cone. It should be the equivalent of climbing an overhang upside down and backwards. If its plastic I doubt they will be able to grip it.

Enjoy!
