Grey squirrels are a bit like marmite – you either love them or hate them! Some people enjoy watching the antics of squirrels as they attempt to pilfer the bird feeders, but more often than not, people ask for advice about how to stop squirrels getting into feeders and scaring off your favourite garden birds.
Squirrels are very determined animals and can cause significant damage in your garden; they can also be extremely noisy, particularly during breeding season. Here are a few tips for keeping squirrels out of your garden.

HOW TO KEEP SQUIRRELS OUT OF YOUR GARDEN
Anyone who has ever tried to outsmart a squirrel knows how difficult this can be. Squirrels are extremely cunning, and are physically equipped to successfully overcome the obstacles that we put in their way.
Squirrels can climb polished steel poles, leap more than 8 feet, and their tails give them phenomenal balance, allowing them to effortlessly cross long lengths of thin wire. They can dig and can even swim, so building a moat to protect your bird feeders from squirrels is probably not the answer either!

HOW TO KEEP SQUIRRELS OFF YOUR BIRD FEEDER
One of the most common issues we see with squirrels in gardens is that they keep on eating the feed put out for birds. When it comes to keeping squirrels off your bird feeder, the best solutions are usually investing in a squirrel proof bird feeder or a baffle to protect your current feeders from squirrels.
Note: Before buying a squirrel-resistant feeder, it may be worth considering what this actually means! Some brands come with a lifetime guarantee against squirrel damage, but do not prevent squirrels accessing the food within.
Here at Really Wild Bird Food, we stock a range of ‘guardians’ – mesh guard cages that sit over the top of bird feeders, making it difficult for squirrels to gain access.

These come in a range of sizes, depending on the size of feeder you wish to protect.
Squirrel baffles and squirrel domes act as effective blockers, deterring squirrels. Greasing your feeder pole to stop squirrels scaling it may also be worth a try.
