This is not the first anti squirrel baffle I've used. The previous one I'd had for years, did exactly what I bought it for, to keep the squirrels off the bird food. Unfortunately the high winds we had recently blew the bird feeder over and because the dome had become brittle, being out in all weathers, shattered when it hit the ground. This is the only preventative measure against the squirrels I've found that works and would have no hesitation in recommending it. Very easy to assemble and can be used either to protect a bird table or hanging feeders.

Good quality rigid dome that fits tightly onto the bird feeder pole. I had to shave a little of the plastic from the inside of the screw fitting to get it on as it was slightly narrower than the diameter of the pole. I have tried it in many positions, high and low on the pole, but the squirrels seem to be able to jump on to it and then reach the bird seeds. I sited it further away from the wall and railing that they were jumping from as shown in the picture. It is over 2 metres from the nearest ‘launch pad’! However they still manage but it has slowed them down and there are definitely less visits than before the dome. If it was in the middle of the lawn away from trees etc I think it would work 100% as they can’t climb up the pole from the ground.

There are removable sleeves in the centre to accommodate different pole thicknesses, and was dead easy to fit. This thing certainly "baffles squirrels"! They climb up the pole until under the dome, then jump down again for a rethink. They have taken to trying some extraordinary acrobatics to leap onto the bird feeder from surrounding bushes, (I had to remove flat feeding platforms because they were using them as landing pads) land on top of the dome and slide off. Honestly, it's worth the price just for the entertainment value, especially nowadays as all we get on tv is the Brexit pantomime (and, let's face it, we're going to end up staying in the EU anyway so it's all a bit tedious)

Having tried a number of so-called squirrel-proof bird feeders which the squirrels managed to burgle within minutes, I then tried this baffle. It seems rather expensive for what it is - a dome of clear plastic which fits round the pole of the bird feeder, but it does actually work. No squirrel so far has been able to get round it. It is also the source of some amusement,as we can watch the antics of the squirrels who can see the food through the clear perspex but cannot reach it. Given that the birds are now able to eat the food that we put out for them, it's definitely been worth its' initial expense.

After having 7 squirrels run riot in our garden and bird seed lasting only one day we decided to give the squirrel baffle a try. This really does work despite the squirrels trying numerous times to get up the pole to the seed. I had to move the feeding pole far away from the fence to stop them jumping onto it which has worked a treat so I would highly recommend this squirrel baffle as it has certainly worked and we now have no squirrels in the garden :)
