climbing up to the feeder, and have an ear-splitting horn next to the feeder
blast him.
I've googled (actually froogled) horns, but don't know what I'm seeing. I
would be grately deepful if you could recommend a relatively inexpensive
setup.

The best idea was the one about the PVC pipe over the mounting post.
Would one of these be better?

Some of those things are a little spendy. The seed company Earl May
has some also.

The yankee flipper bird feeder has my vote as the best entertainment
one. ( watch the video clip on the web site. Work safe, but be prepared
to answer to your boss for the uncontrollable giggling coming from your
chair. )

Tim,
Check out the site www.shuroo.com. Look at the StrayBan product. Works
on many other animals. Should work on squirrels too.

In the US, unrifled pistol barrels are illegal but you are allowed to
own .45 LC breakopen guns that also chamber and fire the .410 shot
shell. This is squirrel medicine if it ever was. |
