More Birds Squirrel-X Wrap Around Metal Squirrel Baffle Protects Bird Feeders From Squirrels, 18-Inch

Great product for keeping the squirrels at bay.

I first just coated the bird feeder poles in Vaseline. While that proved to be very entertaining and did work, it wasn't a long term solution. I tried a similar baffle that was smaller and plastic and it didn't work at all. I've now put these baffles on all my feeder poles (7) and the squirrels have given up and settle with what the birds drop on the ground. Easy to install. Anytime I have my pressure washer out I blast these and they look new again.

This is a dependable method to keep squirrels from the bird feeder. Only 4 stars as it is lighter weight than the previously used shield. Still - fully functional.

My photos show the bracket, the seam on the baffle & the baffle installed. I have purchased 3 of these so far. I also have 3 plastic baffles from another company. The plastic have a tendency to break during high winds, but not these metal baffles. They are easy to install once you figure out how to put the seam together. The trick is to start at the top of the seam & then it will easily go into place. The 3rd one I installed was able to be done in 5 minutes, including attaching the bracket onto the pole, (I’m a 74 year old female). If the bracket is still loose after screwing it as far as it will go, just wrap some duct tape around the pole in layers & the bracket will work. These baffles are a little pricey but to me they are well worth the money. Also if positioned 4-5 feet away from structures or fences or things squirrels can climb, squirrels cannot get around these baffles. I’ve had great success with them. Would highly recommend them. These will be the only baffles I ever purchase from now on.

We have 3 squirrel-filled Live Oak trees. It’s been a HUGE problem.I used to grease the pole, but the 🐿️s still got up, the pole got sticky, easy to climb,and a nightmare to clean.With this "More Birds Squirrel-X" baffle, all is solved! 😀My Shepherd's hook is only a 1/2 in diameter, and most baffles require 5/8. This baffle was almost my only choice.However, I'm thrilled with it after the first week! It's so slippery the rain washed the bird droppings right off! It's also good that it’s sturdy metal because we get a lot of wind and it keeps its shape. It’s also easy to refill the feeder, which I also got at Amazon. Removing it is a breeze…just take the feeder off and lift the baffle up and over the top.A terrific purchase. 👍👏😎Perhaps the 🐿️🐿️🐿️ have tried to climb up…they are normally very aggressive and hungry.haven’t seen even a single attempt to climb. It's too far to jump down or over from any tree, but it is only about 4 1/2 ft to the baffle center.

More flimsy than expected

I needed this to go around a 2" CPVC pipe. It's not made for that. I was able to easily modify the opening with a pair of metal snips. Then I also had to cut it to fit next to a brick wall. Easy peasy. Then I sanded, primed and painted it to match. Seems to keep critters out as best I can tell.

The battle with the squirrels is over. No more shimmying up the “squirrel proof” pole with the “squirrel proof” slinky, eating out of (and then destroying) the “squirrel proof” bird feeders. The baffle worked! They don’t even try to climb anymore. The birds can eat in peace, I don’t have to keep replacing feeders and the squirrels eat what seed the birds drop (and the peanuts I put out for them).Highly recommend this item. It worked!
