Some see squirrels visiting feeders as an issue. We see a solution. With the proper food, feeders and accessories, you can enjoy your birds and limit squirrel incursions.

Hot Pepper:

Our exclusive WBU hot pepper foods help deter critters, saving the food for the birds. Birds love our hot pepper foods, whether they are the seed or no-melt cylinders, no-melt suet cake, or Bark Butter Bits. For best results, use feeders that have a roof to prevent wet weather from diluting or washing away the hot pepper oils.

Safflower:

Offer safflower; a small, white seed that is high in protein and fat. Most song birds eat safflower, while squirrels (and blackbirds) typically do not. Click HERE to learn about the two different options for safflower and how they help keep pesky critters and grackles away. 

Guard Against Them:

Take delight not only in seeing the finches, chickadees and other colorful birds you enjoy, but also in frustrating the squirrels, blackbirds and pigeons. With our On Guard™ cages, you control the size of bird that dines at your feeder. Cages allow small birds to go in and out to get their food but stop larger birds and animals from entering. Our cages will fit a variety of feeder styles and sizes.

Top-of-the-Line Option: The Eliminator™

Hasta la Vista Squirrels!

Protect your bird seed bounty from squirrels with our Eliminator™ bird feeder. When a squirrel touches the perch ring, its weight closes the seed ports, foiling its seed-stealing plot.The Eliminator's unique weight-sensitive technology allows you to set the sensitivity level, you can also exclude large birds such as pigeons or doves. It's easy to hang, holds three and a half quarts of seed and is backed with a limited lifetime guarantee. This feeder also features a special seed ventilation system that helps keep seed fresher. It's easy to hang, holds about three quarts of seed and is backed with a limited lifetime guarantee. The Eliminator can be disassembled and assembled with no tools, and all of its parts are top shelf dishwasher safe. It works best when used with our APS Short Extended Deck Arm. 

Baffle Them: 

Our Advanced Pole System® (APS) Squirrel Baffle is designed to help make your bird feeding station squirrel-resistant. Some baffles are made for hanging above the feeder and some baffles can attach to poles if you have a feeder station setup. The baffles used for our advanced pole systems are made of durable, powder-coated steel. These baffles are very effective in stopping squirrels before they reach your feeders. Place the baffle on your setup so the top of the baffle is 4½' - 5' from the ground. Place your setup 10 ‘ away from other horizontal jumping points like a tree, deck or house.
