Spinning Squirrel Deterrent – Will This Work For Bird Feeders?
One of the common problems that people have with their bird feeders are that squirrels will get into the food. At first glance this shouldn’t seem like a problem but it does cause two issues.
First of all, the squirrels with this food source will tend to shelter in your home especially your attic which can cause a fire hazard as they chew on cords they shouldn’t be chewing on.
Secondly, the squirrels will scare off the birds. The birds are beneficial for keeping yard and garden pests under control.
There are squirrel proof bird feeders, but you might already have a feeder and don’t want to get another. One device is a spinning squirrel deterrent. The Contech SquirrelStop will attach to the bird feeder to help with squirrels.
How this works is that the weight of the squirrel will cause the whole feeder to suddenly spin for about 20 seconds. This will cause the squirrel to jump off and eventually learn to not go near the feeder.
The device requires no batteries, no chemicals, and works for hanging feeders up to around 10 pounds making it work with most feeders.
One drawback of this type of device is the price as it’s above $40 at most places. But it is one of the few devices that can keep squirrels away from your bird feeder without spending even more on the squirrel proof feeders.
