Lol. I just use the Squirel Buster series to deter those pesky tree rats.

Our 2 feeders are a hanging type which makes it very hard for squirrels to get on them. I also use a live trap and then take them south of town about 5 miles and turn them lose. Let them try to avoid the coyotes. VERMIN they are.

My Mother had hers on a metal pole and the squirrels climbed it. She greased the pole and they still climbed it.

When the squirrels get into my feeder and I see them, they end up in the freezer, then on a plate right next to the mashed potatoes....

Tell her to slide a piece of 2" PVC pipe down over the entire length of the metal pole. Don't paint it. They can't climb it.

We have squirrel resistant feeders for suet and sunflower seeds, usually have 5 or 6 cardinals in our yard. But out deck is 10 ft. off the ground with a 4 ft. rail to which I have added a steel crook where the sunflower seed feeder hangs. From the top of the crook there is a steel wire to the nearest tree with a covered tube feeder on it. The squirrels can usually jump to it, but due to that law of equal and opposite reactions it swing from under them when they try to jump off and have a 18 ft. or so fall. They only do it once, but we had a chipmunk who learned to run out on the limb of the hear by oak tree and he could jump back and forth, until a mean old man cut off the limb.

I will occasionally, in season of course, take the 10/22 and stock up on tails for the trebles on the spinners I buy. I remember in the 60s when I used to send the tails to Mepps and get spinners in return. I still have some of the ones with black blades that never catch anything in my spinner vest box.

The ones with black blades are deadly in the Sierra lakes.

I knew they worked somewhere. I just didn't know where. I will pass them to my nephew who travels west a bit.
