If you can’t beat ‘em... Feed ‘em!
When it comes to squirrels, there is a simple solution to this problem and that is: If you can’t beat ‘em. Feed ‘em!

If a bird feeder is put in an area with a lot of squirrel activity, the chances are they will probably be attracted to it. After all, they are being offered a free meal and they simply assume that it is intended for them. Some people get so obsessed with keeping squirrels away that bird feeding tends to become an unpleasant experience. These people often forget to enjoy the beauty of the wildlife they have attracted and squirrels can be quite fun on their own. However, if you are looking for a way to rid your feeders of squirrels (because it is virtually impossible to rid a yard of them) here are a few tips.

The key is to divert the attention of squirrels away from bird feeders. Squirrel feeders are often designed to have a table and chair with a nail coming from the top of the table. A squirrel will sit down and enjoy their feast just as the feeder suggests. The nail can easily accommodate a C&S Squirrelog (the favorite food of squirrels) or an ear of corn, but the problem with an ear of corn is that it does not last long (a squirrel can polish off a complete ear of corn in about a half an hour or less). The C&S Squirrelogs are produced with compressed Sweet Corn and offer more food and entertainment value for the dollar. One Squirrelog equals 20+ ears of corn. For more entertainment use our Squirrelog Hanger that creates a moveable unstable feeder that the squirrels will go into contortions to eat from.
