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.

Great - except for the hanger

★★★☆☆
I got the SquirrelBuster Classic to replace the SquirrelBuster Legacy I've had for years. The Legacy was fantastic until a raccoon started ripping the perches off at night. I got the Classic because the perches aren't as easy to rip off. Like the Legacy, it definitely keeps the squirrels off. The birds love it. The only problem - and it's a frustrating one - is the wire loop used to hang it. The Legacy had a stiff hanger that made it easy to remove for refilling; the Classic has a flexible wire that makes it very difficult for me to get the feeder on and off its hanger - especially given the required 18-inches of clearance needed for the feeder to work.

Excellent customer service

★★★★★
I’ve had the Brome Classic Squirrel Buster for a while and love it! Apparently the bears in my area don’t feel the same way since, while trying to raid my feeder, got a little frustrated and stomped on it. I called Brome and Cheryl happily answered and advised that they are going to send me a replacement refurbished feeder. I’m thrilled at her generosity and truly grateful. Thank you, Cheryl and Brome!

Needs modification

★★★☆☆
The feeding spouts need a lip to avoid seed being knocked to the ground by large birds, chipmunks and squirrels. I had to put a screen under mine to catch falling seeds. Have dumped it twice today.

Thank you!

★★★★★
I recently emailed Brome regarding a problem with my classic model that has been working for many years. I was kindly sent a replacement part free of charge along with easy instructions for disassembly and assembly. It now works perfectly. Thank you very much for a quality product and great customer support.

great feeder but lid stuck

★★★★★
I believe I have the Plus by far my best feeder. But by mistake the lid was cross threaded on. With all my strength I cannot undo it. Any suggestions?. It's a few years old. The clear plastic tube is jammed into the metal lid. after reviewing the pictures below it's the Plus feeder. Also I am missing one rod that holds the perching ring. It broke when some raccoons knocked the feeder onto the ground. Thankyou you make the best feeders
