Like most bird enthusiasts, I'm SO SICK of squirrels. They're always hanging on--and damaging--my feeders, and they deter birds too. And, of course, they devour my seed so I wind up buying 5 pounds of seed, 4 1/2 of which goes to the resident furry-tailed rats!
So I bought this in a move of desperation. If this hadn't worked, I was prepared to take my feeders down--no fewer than SIX squirrels were hanging off of, or under, my feeders, and it's a full time job for me and my dog to keep them away! I can't claim there are NEVER squirrels around my feeders. Since switching to this food, I have yet to see a single squirrel actually hanging from my feeders. They will, however, eat the stuff that's fallen on the ground underneath (I'm sure there's some "old" food down there that they liked too). I've got a decent amount of property, so I've noticed what's also helping is to buy some bulk dried corn to put out for the squirrels elsewhere on the property--the squirrels (AND other, new birds we haven't seen here before!) hang out at the corn, and my feeder is spared the company and damage of squirrel mouths.
I'm pretty pleased. I give it four stars only because the squirrels aren't completely deterred--but they're definitely not hanging on my feeders, and they're definitely not spending nearly as much time here as they were with my old food mix.Get more detail about Brown's Bird Lover's Blend No Squirrels Just Birds Wild Bird Food.
