Have ordered one that specifically states squirrel repellent. Money back guarantee it claims.
Will see if it works next week.:thumbs:

Plugged in two of these ultrasonic scarers …one only 1m from the feeders. Amazingly successful. Not!

Little b*****er even crept up and sniffed it, before carrying on feeding!

Photos winging their way to the supplier for a refund.

That doesn’t work either! Last year I coated all the seed with chilli spray. They still came and ate it…perhaps less fervently. Unfortunately the coated seeds gets sticky in moisture atmospheres and bridges in the feeders…makes a hell of a mess to clean as well.

I forgot and rubbed my eye at one stage. Eyes burning and streaming, me squealing like a stuck pig…….squirrel ran for cover for well over an hour. Probably the most success I had…but won’t repeat it.

Think I should get some of that 12v electrified stock control fencing and run a strip through the top hangers. 
That would make them move fast. :devil:

I bet you I would forget to switch it off when I topped up the feeders. 8-)

that's what I was thinking. Might damage the feeders too much, a high power .22 air rife might be better.
