  1. Squirrel baffle

    orphan date March 2010 Unreferenced date March 2009 A squirrel baffle is a device designed to deter squirrel s, raccoon s and other small mammal s from accessing birdfeeder s to retrieve birdseed . They are typically mounted on the pole of a birdfeeder, and most effectively at least four feet from the ground, as squirrels can jump rather high. Squirrel baffles vary in design. One type may employ a rotating cylinder to destabilize the climbing surface, while another will feature a large round tube difficult for a squirrel to grab onto. Other designs include tapered cones and sloped disks. Many squirrel baffles are made of painted metal or plastic, in order to create a slippery surface. The roof of a hanging birdfeeder can also be designed to act as a baffle to prevent squirrels from jumping down onto the feeder. Providing an alternate equivalent food source in conjunction with a squirrel baffle is often the best way to minimize unwanted visits to a birdfeeder. There are many squirrel feeders available, as they love to eat all sorts of food.
