Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We live in New Hampshire and cannot have most bird feeders in the summer because they will be destroyed by the black bears.This is the first bird feeder that we can hang high in a tree and not have it emptied by the local red and gray squirrels.Before we got this we tried the usual approaches:
Red pepper - Spraying the feeder with an oil and pepper mix didn't work.
Cage-type feeders - This works for gray squirrels, but any cage with a small enough mesh to keep out red squirrels will also block the birds.
Baffles - A regular feeder needs to be 8 feet from any branch or the squirrels will jump to it.This is impossible to arrange in most trees.
This Squirrel Scatter feeder is a very simple solution.We have it hanging on a branch outside our second-story window.It only takes one or two experiences with the shock from this feeder and even the most determined squirrel will leave it alone.Every now and then a squirrel will stop back and very carefully attempt to eat from the feeding ports.The mild shock immediately sends him scrambling away.The construction quality also seems quite good.Highly recommended.

Contech SQRTSCTR002 Squirrel Scatter Bird FeederProduct Description: The SquirrelScatter squirrel-proof birdfeeder accommodates birds while keeping squirrels out. While birds feed undisturbed, the SquirrelScatter keeps any squirrels away with a brief electrical pulse for a safe and harmless -- yet effective -- deterrent. Ideal for gardeners and bird fanciers alike, the battery-operated SquirrelScatter provides a simple and efficient way to feed the birds without attracting wasteful and destructive pests to your garden.The SquirrelScatter squirrel-proof birdfeeder combines an efficient spill-resistant design with a harmless, yet effective electronic squirrel deterrent.Birds can stand on any of the metal feeding stations and eat undisturbed. But when a squirrel standing on the base or roof tries to eat from the SquirrelScatter feeder, it will be surprised and repelled by a brief electrical pulse. Squirrels learn to leave the feeder alone - and birds can enjoy the food you provide them.Setting up the SquirrelScatter is easy. Just install two D cell batteries, add your favourite birdseed, hang the device from a branch or pole (out of the easy reach of squirrels and other pests), and switch it on. When it's time to refill the SquirrelScatter, switch off the device, add more seed through the hatch in the top, and then switch it back on again. The SquirrelScatter will operate for up to three months on a single set of batteries.
