What does the OB use to keep these bastards out of your bird feeders? Besides shooting them...

Live trap and relocate them in front of a cur dog in training. I will take them. Where in the landmass are you located?

My grandmother vaselines the posts and the tops of the bird feeders. Those jokers will try for at least 10 minutes before giving up. This is definitely more fun than bird watching.

My feeder has a spring loaded outer portion that shuts off the holes when anything heavier than a bird is on it. Squirrels don't even try anymore.

Damn that is a long way from here. I have one guy trapping in his backyard for me now. He loves it! It has become his afternoon hobby.

I have a squirrel feeder on one side of the yard and the bird feeders on the other. When the squirrels start hitting the bird feeders then I know they need a fill up.

I was awoken this morning by a squirrel jumping onto my bedroom window and hanging onto the screen to eat out of the bird feeder that's hanging from the eave outside the window.
