North States Two-Way Squirrel Baffle, Large

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I took a chance that the baffle might help with my squirrel problem and it did! The baffle is a nice heavy weight plastic and so easy to assemble. Reordered two more for my other feeders!!

Easy as PIE to install. Watched my Bird Feeder THEIF attempt to get around it and after only 2 tries, they GAVE UP! Haven’t seen them in days, the Birds LOVE all the extra food and life balances back! Thank You

We have a "squirrel proof" bird feeder that is supposed to keep squirrels out. However, our squirrels are persistent and figured out how to get in from the bottom of the cage where the opening was a little larger around the edges. I even ordered a different squirrel proof bird feeder and it kept the squirrel out but the bird feeder design resulted in half of the bird seed spilling in the ground, so I returned it and received a full refund from Wayfair. I ordered the Two-Way Squirrel Baffle and it has solved our squirrel problem. Hallelujah!

I put bird seed out daily and daily the squirrel would chase the birds away and he'd end up eating all the seed. Since putting this squirrel baffle I no longer have that problem, YEA

This is a well made Squirrel baffle. I have only used it over the top of the feeder and hanging from a tree (no poles). I primarily use it as a rain guard over the feeder and have not seen any squirrels trying to get to the feeder. Given time, I'm sure they will be trying. It is a lot larger than most rain guards which is great, but I wish it were clear so I can see the birds feeding when I look out the window. It does get crooked easily from the wind blowing it. The large part swivels on the rounded piece that is connected to the hook. Maybe it has to have some swivel to it to work for the squirrels so that they get knocked a little off balance. I now have 2 of these, so yes, I would This is a well made Squirrel baffle. I have only used it over the top of the feeder and hanging from a tree (no poles).

I now have 2 of these, so yes, I would recommend it as long as your feeder is visible from your window or porch without having to look at it from above. In my case I can do this in front of the house, but in the back yard because of the slope of the ground, etc., I need a clear one to be able to see the birds. … more
