North States Two-Way Squirrel Baffle, Large

I have 5 feeders in our back yard. They are all "Squirrel Busters" and work OK. The issue is that squirrels and rats would still climb and shake seeds to the ground and while squirrels are cute if they don't get too much seed, nobody wants rats. Well, now that I have these very easy to use (they include the hooks) baffles, I have no rats and my wife is happy. They can go live somewhere that appeciates them, just not our back yard

I've been having issues with a large wooden feeder that squirrels seemed to love. I was hoping this baffle would do the trick and keep them off the feeder. It seemed to work the first 4 or 5 days, unfortunately, yesterday, when I went out into the yard, the entire contents of bird feed had been pilfered by the pesky critters. Now I'm clueless on how to stop these guys from cleaning out the birdhouse stash!

I am partially pleased with this squirrel baffle. It is BIG and my squirrels worked hard to overcome it. My main objection to the baffle is that the upper surface has a light texture to it, making it easier for squirrels to get a grip on it. Why isn't it slick so that squirrels would easily slip off?

Love this product. I have been dealing with squirrels cleaning out the bird feeder on a daily basis. Not anymore! This actually works and it works well! Highly recommend.

I purchased two of these. I do wish they were a little wider, and not flat on the top. My acrobatic squirrels sit on the flat part, and extend their bodies down to grab onto the feeders. If it was wider, they might not be able to reach. If there wasn't a flat part around the hook, they would have anywhere to sit and plan their attack. I may try to extend the feeder more below the inside hook with a little chain, so they can't grab the feeder.

The Two-Way Squirrel Baffle works for most of the squirrels, except the clever persistent ones. I think we need to re-position the feeder to a different branch. I would definitely recommend the product. Chewy is a good company and our order arrived quickly. 5 Stars!

After a nice few days of squirrel-free peacefulness, watching as the persistent tree rats kept trying to access the tube feeder from the top of the baffle, I realized they were beginning to perfect their technique when their little paws were nearly able to grasp a perch. And finally, once they discovered they needed to keep as still and balanced as they could while reaching down from the top of the baffle, they finally did reach the perches and tray and earned their reward - the ability to perch on the feeder and eat all the seed they could stuff into their furry faces. It was a real effort, for sure, so it might be better than nothing, although now that they know how to get around it, they'll After a nice few days of squirrel-free peacefulness, watching as the persistent tree rats kept trying to access the tube feeder from the top of the baffle, I realized they were beginning to perfect their technique when their little paws were nearly able to grasp a perch.

I really like them. Very heavy duty. However I did find them cheaper at a store in town. Oh well.

I liked the fact that this baffle had a short hook assembly and was wide enough to keep the bird seed fairly dry in the rain. The one thing I don't like is the fact that you can't secure the baffle to the piece that the hook goes through. In windy weather, it can come unseated and almost become airborn because it's very lightweight. My old baffle was a bit larger and heavier so it stayed put in the wind but the hook assembly was too long so the feeder was not high enough to prevent the squirrels from raiding the feeder. If there was a way to add some weight to this product, it would be fine. A note to the folks who continued to have squirrel problems.

These are perfect for providing shade for my bird feeders. It also keeps the birds dry while eating in the rain, and the food from getting wet. I have priced these at many of the known online retail stores, etc., and this is by far the best made and the best price. I have bought 4.
