'Squirrel proof' feeder FAQs

How do I stop squirrels from climbing by bird feeder pole? 

Squirrels love to climb, which makes your bird feeder pole a popular target. You can humanely deter squirrels from climbing your bird feeder pole using a downwards opening cone. Alternatively, you could use grease such as Vaseline to make the surface slippery.
