Anyone who has a bird feeder will thank you for telling them about my simple and low cost squirrel proofing solution.
For many years I have had a bird feeder in my yard. During those years the squirrels have dumped the seed out, chewed through the feeder to get the seed, and climbed into "squirrel proof" feeders that cost a fortune. Hanging the feeder from a pole away from the house and trees wasn't the answer, neither was spraying the pole with PAM, nothing worked.
Four months ago the latest feeder pole was beginning to bend from the weight of the smiling squirrels. I was in a home improvement store when I walked through the plumbing section and noticed the PVC pipe. The cost was a fraction of replacing or trying to fix the feeder pole so I just estimated its diameter and found a pre-cut 5' long piece that looked large enough to fit over the existing pole. Our squirrels now just root around on the ground under the feeder.
Four months and 100% effective = A squirrel proof bird feeder fix for a couple of dollars.
