Here I was, just the other day bragging about how the squirrels do not climb up my bird feeder. And now this!

I even banged on the window to scare him off. He didn't care.

I think a step up transformer @ about 240 volts @ 15 amps for the first couple of feet ought to do it.

Invite a neighborhood tomcat or two to hang around. Presto: no more squirrel.

Constant problem that i haven't been able to win. I think I'm going to start photographing Squirrels instead of Birds.

I'd rather have the grey furry rat ..now if it is a surgically altered one thay no longer marks it's territory ..I HATE the smell of cat pi$$ .
But I hate grey furry rats too. Twice I have had them chew through fuel lines and they started on my brake lines last time. The shop told me that the stuff they coat the fuel line with to make it resistant to cracking..it's made from soy oil ..like saying "Here ..chew on me"

Gee, that is just swell. Now I get to feed the squirrels, too. Thanks for the compliment on the photos, Jim.

I have one of those who lives across the street. He is always at my house. Where is he when I need him?

My recommendation........a dedicated squirrel feeder in another part of the yard. We did that, and the birdies now eat in peace. :-)

I saw a brief video where the homeowner had greased the pole. The squirrel eventually gave up.

Squirrels are filthy and carry diseases. They are basically rats with extra furry coats and big tails.
