Squirrels are some of the most entertaining visitors to our backyards. Eastern Gray Squirrels are incredibly agile, able to leap up to 10 feet between branches. They also play an important role in nature by burying nuts that often grow into new trees. If squirrels are helping themselves to your bird seed, there is a variety of deterrents that you can try. Squirrel-resistant feeders, pole baffles, and hot pepper bird seed can help keep birds fed while discouraging squirrels. You can also give squirrels their own spot with a dedicated squirrel feeder stocked with corn or peanuts. Keeping them busy at their own feeder often helps reduce visits to the bird feeders, and they are so much fun to watch! Whether you’re looking to attract squirrels or keep them from raiding your feeders, we have products to help you create a backyard that both birds and other wildlife can enjoy.
