North States Two-Way Squirrel Baffle, Large

This baffel seems strudy and made with thick plastic. The only thing I noticed is that some of the birds seem a bit skittish while feeding under this baffel. I read that birds might not feel safe while feeding under this type of baffel because it obstructs their view of possible predators. So I think I'm going to purchase a clear (see through) baffel to place directly over the top of my feeder to detour squirrels from jumping on top of my feeder. Chewy should consider selling clear baffels for this reason!

The first way I tried it (baffler at the top of my shepherd's hook) failed miserably. The squirrels tipped the baffler and jumped right onto the suet holder...both the small and large size ones. Then I put it about 3 ft off the ground and the squirrels jumped right onto it and up the hook. Put it between 4 and 5 ft and they chewed the plastic thing that holds the baffler up and I couldn't tighten it onto the shepherd's hook. I figure if the thing that holds up the baffler was metal instead of plastic the "little darlings" couldn't chew threw it. I was thinking of getting someone to solder a piece of metal onto the shepherds hook and lay the baffler on that. I bought two bafflers and one, as The first way I tried it (baffler at the top of my shepherd's hook) failed miserably.

That's why the 4 stars. … more

Put this on hanging pole over my bird feeder and the squirrels Quickly got over it. I guess I will look for another solution,

Easy to assemble and begin using. I bought this to put over the tray I use for seed, it works great and was affordable!

Ordered two to stop squirrels from raiding my hanging feeders....followed suggestions about distance between baffle and feeder but my squirrels are still getting to the feeders. This may work better on a post. Otherwise, these are well made and sturdy.

2nd on of these and it fixed the problem I had with Squirrels messing with my bird feeder

Love this product. My 2 other baffles sway and separate in strong winds. This one does not and it is why I am replacing them with 2 more of this baffle.

This item definitely will keep your bird food dry from the rain. I must have some very smart squirrels because it only had them baffled for 2 days and they figured out a trapeze type stunt to still swing under the baffle while falling and latch onto the feeder. I don’t think I lose as much food as quickly as before and it does keep the food dry.

So far pretty good. Once the squirrels were able to pop the cover off and spill the seeds all over but have not been successful since. A more heavy duty clip to keep the cover of the feeder secured would probably make this baffle 100% successful

We used it over our bottom-access suet feeder hanging on a Shepard’s hook off our balcony rail. once the squirrel is on the baffle, it tilts and they fall off. The baffle length is enough that if they can hang onto the hook above and as it tilts, they can’t reach the feeder. You do have to think about how far above the feeder to place the baffle, and you may have to watch the action first and adjust accordingly. The only option the squirrel has at this point is to jump from the rail to the feeder, but we haven’t seen that happen, yet!
