If I told you I’ve found a device that keeps squirrels and raccoons from raiding your bird feeders, and I said it looks good, is easy to assemble, and will last for years, you probably think I’ve been hanging around the compost pile too long. But it’s true, and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to install it.
With only a half dozen parts, assembly of the Squirrel Stopper system is easy and requires no tools. The hefty pole includes a built-in auger, so there’s no digging. No rocks or cement are needed to anchor it.
The suggested retail is price is $119 to $129, and it’s well worth it.

Those rogues, the squirrels, are no longer a problem with our bird feeders since we installed the Squirrel Stopper bird feeder post. The Squirrel Stopper is easy to set up and holds four bird feeders five or six feet off the ground. The secret to foiling the squirrels is an elongated bell that is suspended on the main post with springs. We’ve watched squirrels try all kinds of tricks and they can’t beat that bell system. The rig costs about $125 and is made with extremely high-quality materials. It should last for decades.

If bird watching is your thing, you know that keeping squirrels away from your feeders can be challenging. There are feeders designed specifically for this purpose, but there’s a new product we want to tell you about called Squirrel Stopper. This is a post that you can use to hang any size or style bird feeder, including ones you already own. It assembles in minutes without tools, is rust resistant, and comes with a warranty.

FROM OUR CUSTOMERS…

This does the duty of stopping squirrels. However, be careful where you place it. In the instructions, it says to place it 10 ft. away from fences and such. We didn't, and learned our lesson. First, they would jump from the birdbath next to it and onto a feeder, so then it was moved. Then, they realized that our fence was high and jumped from that onto the feeder. So read the directions. I've watched squirrels attempt to climb up the pole and just slide down many times. It's very amusing.

It works! I have had the Squirrel Stopper for six months and no squirrels have gotten past. No product I have ever had can avoid squirrels as well as the Squirrel Stopper can. It is the best lawn and garden product ever invented!

This baby works! I received the post and put it in the ground after
assembly (taking a mere 5 minutes). The birds took a day to become
accustomed to the move but the squirrels came to it right away and began to size it up. They stood on their haunches, looked up and appeared to be saying "they have finally done it- no way can we get to the bird seed." The second day, they reappeared and did the same thing. Third day; no squirrels, and it has been that way for a month. Robert H. - McCormick, SC

If you buy this feeder pole, it doesn't matter what feeders you use; nothing is going to get to it except birds. Thank you for this great product. This is as simple as 1,2,3 to put together. This pole is built like a brickhouse. It holds four feeders securely but you can put more on easily. I have a lot of deer and they smell the feed, but now it is too high for them. Raccoons cannot get up it. I was having almost 10 pounds of feed eaten in one night. It was deer and raccoons at night; squirrels in the day. I had quit using my feeders and was only using thistle as other animals did not like thistle. Now I can feed all the birds. This was the best money I have spent. Thank you from the state of Tennessee. Randy R. - Kentucky Lake, TN
 

Six months ago I stopped feeding my birds because I was only feeding squirrels. I had tried all kinds of “squirrel-proof” feeders and nothing worked until I found the Squirrel Stopper system. I’ve had it for four months and not one squirrel has been able to reach the bird feeders. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to enjoy my birds again! Dale J. – Dothan, AL

Your product helped my wife win the “war” with our backyard squirrels! She had no success until we bought your product. Michael R. – Roanoke, VA

I’ve tried all kinds of products to keep squirrels away. Nothing works like this one! Erin R. – West Bloomfield, MI

I got tired of spending all that money on “squirrel-proof” bird feeders. Now, I can use any feeder I want! Kathryn D. – Springfield, MA

I installed the Squirrel Stopper five months ago. So far, no critters have been able to get up the pole! The squirrels have given up and gone to my neighbors. Christine S. – Pawtucket, RI

I really like this device because of its strength and balance, and because it was so easy to put in the ground. Mary D. – Springfield, VA

I purchased your Squirrel Stopper pole and am very well pleased with it. My son and daughter-in-law would like one, also. Robert S. – Muskegon, MI

"It was easy to install, looks great and best of all....... IT REALLY WORKS!!! We have had no squirrels making it to the top...they are now eating the left over seedson the ground. Carolyn B.

So far it has been great! stayed solid in the face of strong winds and seems to keep the rodents and raccoons from getting to the feeders unlike the shepherds hook I was using. Sure it is expensive, but it is a good product and I couldn't ask for more considering. CalGal

This bird feeder pole really works! We have the most relentless squirrel population in the eastern US. After 1 week of use I am proud to report that the squirrelshave to wait for the birds to feed and then catch any remnants which have fallen. The baffle is fully effective! I love this feature in my back yard Buy it! My husband and I were even able to screw the pole into our rock hard clay soil after a major rain storm and some help from a post auger.
