How’s this work? Do you just have 2 speakers? 1 with poison and 1 with Ratt? Also, how loud does it need to be? What if the neighbors aren’t 80’s rock fans?

You can buy squirrel proof feeders. You can also buy little guards to put on the pole or atop the feeder. Or karate.

Clearly you are underestimating the intelligence of these rodents.

I fought squirrels and racoons and possums getting into my feeders for years. But it really was a simple solution in the end:
- feeder on a pole at least 10' from anything the squirrel can leap from and
- squirrel/raccoon baffle on the pole.

Now the squirrels stay on the ground and clean up what the birds drop.

I don't know how to eliminate the squirrels but I did have to change my roof flashings from lead to plastic. The squirrels were eating the lead, causing the roof to leak. Little bastards.

Squirrel proof feeder.

Cayenne pepper mixed into the seed. Birds don’t sense capsaicin but squirrels do.

Hang feeder high enough and away from structure.

Haven't you heard? There's a meat shortage. Cook them in a stew.
