For years, I have tried to stop squirrels from taking seeds from my bird feeder. Finally, I have had success with the all-weather slinky spring I bought from Amazon.

That must be hilarious. You need to post a video of it in action.

But it cuts down on Squirrel gymnastics photo ops.
Another trick is to grease the pole up high enough the squirrels can't reach above it but not so high the birds will get it on their feathers.

I tried that years ago and it took the squirrels about 2 days to learn to use it like a ladder.

Wonder how long it will take them to defeat the latest trap?

JFP, So far, my squirrels have not mastered the ladder trick.
