If you have birdfeeders in your Phoenix house, you probably know the struggle of keeping the squirrels away from the seeds.

The Best Types of Squirrel Baffles
Squirrel baffles are small devices that are placed around the pole of the birdfeeders that aims to keep the squirrels away. Nonetheless, with their crafty skills and jumping abilities, there are times that they can find a loophole to this defense. In order to prevent that from happening, you need to find a baffle that will suit your demand and situation.

Wrap-Around

It comes with a smooth design that is also effective against the squirrel. Unfortunately, it also comes with a drawback. You won’t be able to use it on birdfeeders with thick poles.

Metal Pole Baffle

It has the large cylindrical shape that has been manufactured using a highly-resilient metal. It also has a round and wide design that will prevent the squirrel from reaching the top. Since it is made from metallic material, it is resistant against the persistent chewing of the squirrels. Sadly, this is too small to deter the raccoons.

Slide-on Baffle
There are different designs of slide-on baffles that are effective in blocking the Arizona squirrel from its path. This is usually made from a steel material that is coated with textured powder. This will be installed on the bottom of the birdfeeders. This is designed to be safe to use especially if you have pets and children on your house. It is packed with fine powder that allows easy application. This can only be used on straight poles.

Weather Shield

It comes with a hook that you can easily attack anywhere. This will protect the birdfeeder from the attack of the squirrels on top. This will also shield the feeders from the rain and sun. However, it may not be the best choice if you have a feeder mounted on a pole.
