Mandarin Hanging Baffle Review

This is the only squirrel baffle that we have ever purchased that has completely deterred the squirrels from even trying to attempt access to our birdfeeders anymore. I'd highly recommend it.

Initially seemed to work well, squirrels slid off unto the ground, but before too long, they figured it out. Device could possibly be a little wider for a better effect. The key is having a more resistant bird feeder.

this will not fit on any pole as advertised, if you have a shepherd's hook pole look elsewhere. This is not stated in description and has cost me time and money as they do not refund shipping even though it is not as described

Twirl-a-Squirrel Baffle, Green Review

Twirl-a-Squirrel Baffle, Green
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I picked up one of these to try to keep my bird seed being eaten by the birds in my backyard instead of the greedy squirrels. (There is a squirrel feeder in the yard as well, but the squirrels still climb up and go for the more expensive bird seed.)
I give it 3 stars because it is a bit more finicky than I would have hoped for. According to the instructions that come with it:
1) Works on feeders up to 8 pounds - not 10 as described above in the description. My feeder is on the edge.
2) You can't hang it from a rope of anything else not rigid. My feeder hangs from a long chain and already has a rain guard over it. Due to weight if I put the Twirl-a-Squirrel above that chain and guard then I exceed the weight limit and the instructions say I can't hang it off the end of the chain so it is kind of limiting.
3) It triggers when it detects 1 pound of weight. Unfortunately this is sensistive enough to go off just from birds using the feeder. It is not uncommon for there to be 10+ birds on the feeder and sometimes another will land "hard" on the bottom of the feeder and start the twirling.
4) Instructions say to take it down when windy. I haven't had it long enough to know how sensitive it is going to be to wind yet but this does concern me as it is often windy in my backyard.
5) If your feeder has a screwed in hook on top of it then the twirl-a-squirrel can unscrew it from the feeder when it rotates. Not a problem for me but could be for others.
On the plus side it does a great job of chasing away the squirrels so far and the birds have been persistent with dealing with the false alarms that send them flying away.
I hope this has been helpful to others who are considering giving this a try. I give it a thumbs up overall and recommend it.

20 inch Hanging Squirrel Baffle Review

20 inch Hanging Squirrel Baffle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Some, but not all, of my squirrel population outsmarted this baffle. However, I then hung another baffle between this one and the feeder, so they have 2 obstacles to cross, and that helped a bit more. This definitely would work better with a short feeder (4-5 inches). The longer feeders give the critters more options when coming down off of the baffle(s).

Audubon Torpedo Squirrel Baffle Review

Average Reviews:

The item arrived without any written instructions.When I figured out how the (included) clamp would attach to the pole I realized that, after installation, the baffle would slide down a few inches- maybe enough for a squirrel to bypass. I decided to use a hard rubber gasket instead. This "retainer" can be pushed all the way up the neck of the baffle- with NO slippage and no sqirrels. Works fine!

Average Reviews:

I had no problems at all with the company and the baffle works great with keeping the squirrels away, but getting that huge sticker off made me wish I had bought another one. I spent about an hour and a half stripping it off and using Goo Gone. I would not buy that baffle again. Why in the world would they put that huge sticker (just look at the picture) on there and glue it on there like that? There is no way I was going to put that baffle out in my yard with a big label on it, so I had to get it off. I have removed many stickers in my life, but that was bad!

Droll Yankees SQPM Pole Mount Squirrel Guard Review

Droll Yankees SQPM Pole Mount Squirrel Guard
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this item to go with my Droll Yankees Shepahards pole Droll Yankees SEP 68-Inch Shepherds Envy Pole with Hanging Arm (see my product review there on the link). This works very well with the Droll Yankees Pole systems. It attaches securly and easily. This is well made of very thick, sturdy plastic. SO far I have had mine for 2 months and although I have many squirrels, none have been able to make it past this squirrel guard. I highly recommend this with the Droll Ynakee pole system! I bought a second one to go on my other pole.

Seattle Rain Guard, 10" Clear Review

Seattle Rain Guard, 10 Clear
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a wonderful product. If you have a yankee feeder and you want to protect your bird seed from the rain this is the product to get. The birds like it, it keeps the seeds fairly protected (not counting rain conditions like rain coming from the side and not straight down) and it fits snugly on the feeder. It's very easy to move up and down to where you need it. Only designed for Yankee feeders.
Also tip: It's easier to put on when your feeder is empty. The design of my feeder you have to put it on from the bottom, not the top. All yankee feeders may be designed like that or it could just be mine but check which way is easiest to put on before filling up.
Also I brought the Droll Omni Seed tray that is meant for yankee feeders and it's great to. I have both the Omni Tray and the rain guard on my feeder and the birds love both and it saves seeds and I'm all about saving money! Less seeds wasted...less money spent.
From Droll Yankee:
10" dome keeps seed and birds dry
Fits all 2-1/2" diameter tube feeders, including Droll Yankees A-6 series, TH series and New Generation series.
UV Stabilized Polycarbonate is durable and resists the sun's rays
Includes a spring clamp to hold in place
Dimensions: 10 x 10 x 4 (assembled)
Mounting: Dome fits directly on feeder tube

Clear Plastic Squirrel Baffle Review

Clear Plastic Squirrel Baffle
Average Reviews:

I use it on a 1" pole and at a height level that is right underneath my hanging bird feeder, while at the same time about 5' from the ground. It works wonder, the baffle (skirt) wobbles as rodents try to dislodge it from beneath (& inside) and there's no way they can defeat this - unless of course they chew off the ring support, which is exactly what mine are doing day & night now. They teeth are too strong for the acrylic but Woodlink assures me that if they chew it through, a replacement piece will be mailed to me. Since that I wouldn't accept anything in black or green, this modern acrylic clear baffle is perfect. And once again, it works very well.

Squirrel Baffle works great -- would be a good idea for the seller to state what size pole the baffle fits. I had to do some modification to fix the baffle to my skinny pole. Also might be a good idea to state the baffle should be at least 4 feet off the ground.

Heath Outdoor Products SB-3 Mounting Squirrel Baffle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had to make my own collar to hold the shield since my pole was larger than the one supplied. The pesky squirrels had already figured out how to eat through the prior baffle purchased at Home Depot and had gained access to the feeders, however this clear, see-through design has stopped them. While it's smaller than my previous baffel, they are confused by it and have given up their pursuit... at least for now. This also was the best bargain I could find. I'd give it 5 stars if the collar was adjustable and didn't have to go over the top of the pole.

Woodlink Wrap Around BCBAF22 4 x 4 Baffle, 22 Inch - Bronze Color Review

Woodlink Wrap Around BCBAF22 4 x 4 Baffle, 22 Inch - Bronze Color
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This baffle works well for those bothered by a multitude of predators seeking out bird seed, namely squirrels and raccoons. So far, we haven't had any problems with either since the installation. The only difficulty we had was that one of the attachment straps broke before even being affixed to the post. My husband improvised, and so far, it has held. The welding on the straps leaves something to be desired, or I'd rate this product higher.

Black Baffler Review

New squirrels in the neighborhood, and they were hanging from the suet cage and making short work of the cakes. We had a two-piece plastic version in the past, but it would come apart and eventually blew away in a windstorm. This is great, since you can use it on the shepherd's hooks that are double pronged at the bottom and double hooked at the top (the one-piece baffles that don't "split open" would not be able to be used since you can't thread them onto the top or bottom of the hooks). Now, the squirrels are relegated to the ground to salvage whatever seed falls there.

North States Two-way Squirrel Baffle Review

North States Two-way Squirrel Baffle
Average Reviews:

I have my feeders mounted so squirrels are not a problem but I bought these to use as rain protection for the feeders and birds. I would not mount a tube type feeder without one again. They keep the expensive seed from getting wet and are also good protection from snow. They tilt/swivel in the wind which keeps them from rocking the feeders all over the place. If you are serious about your feeders and birds, try one, I think you will like it and so will your feathered friends. I spray painted the tops of mine silver to help reflect the sun and prolong their life (UV eventually gets to everything).
