The need for clearance

Remember it’s the squirrel’s weight that triggers the closing mechanism. If a squirrel can reach over from a nearby foothold and avoid placing weight on the feeder, he will have access to the seed ports. Allow for at least 18 inches or 47 cm of clearance around the feeder. This will force the squirrel to climb onto the feeder, thus triggering the closing mechanism.

Locating your feeder

You can locate this bird feeder anywhere and be squirrel free. Position it to get great close-up views of your favorite birds. Hang your feeder over a window, in a tree, on a deck, a fence, in your garden, on the side of your house, from a rain trough or over sliding doors. Use brackets, extension hooks and tree hooks to hang your feeder at the recommended clearance. Hooks and brackets are available at birding stores, garden centers and hardware supply stores. Your feeder prevents squirrels from eating expensive seed, scaring the birds and damaging your feeder. Enjoy being free of squirrel problems, but please remember, squirrels also need to eat. For the price of a few peanuts, or inexpensive cracked corn, squirrels will be happy to entertain.

Squirrel buster is awesome

★★★★★
I have owned my feeder for years. It has worked perfectly and has done a great job of deterring squirrels (who eventually give up) and keeping the birds happy. I love that I can disassemble and thoroughly clean the unit, too. I noticed that the inner plastic cylinder is pretty close to its last summer in the Texas heat. Hoping I can replace that part. It was worth the investment. I have other feeders that the squirrels with either knock down or are able to tear apart while they are hanging. Not so with this one. It's the BOMB! Thanks!!

Squirrels love this!

★☆☆☆☆
The red and gray squirrels love this feeder! The mechanism closes, BUT they hang upside down and can pull out any seed (except seed in the shell) with their tongues - in between the holes. Incredible! They also jump repeatedly onto it as they can spill any seed by doing that. Lastly, I live beachside and both of my Brome feeders are rusting quite a bit and it has only been about 8 months.

Cardinals and woodpeckers no chance

★★★☆☆
I purchased the Squirrel Solution 200 and I’m disappointed that cardinals and woodpeckers are unable to use this feeder. What could be the problem?

not great in wet climate

★★★☆☆
I'd like to give this a higher rating as I'm pleased with the product's effectiveness in squirrel-busting, but for the premium price, I'd like to see more thoughtful design. The feeder is great in dry weather, but in the rainy season of Western Oregon, seed gets wet and gums up the feeding ports. I wider lip on the cap/lid would be a welcome improvement.

The BEST Customer Service

★★★★★
I register my feeders the minute I get them and through the years some parts get broken. One call to these wonderful people and I have the part in question, or a new feeder, depending on the damage in record time. Wonderful product and wonderful customer service. A+
