This Gardman squirrel baffle keeps grey squirrels off bird feeders and can be used above hanging feeders or below the feeder if it’s mounted on a pole. Made from very durable plastic, the squirrel baffle is very hard wearing and will also keep rain off a feeder if mounted above it.

A good, strong baffle that is easy to install over the feeders. Whilst it does make life a lot more difficult for the squirrels attempting to raid the bird feeders, some squirrels have worked out how they can hang on by their feet and stretch the length of the baffle to reach the feeder, then swing on to it. But they frequently fall off in the process and give up. The baffle also has the advantage of giving some protection from the rain so food stays dryer for longer. A good purchase.

I bought two. In essence they appear well made and do the job, not many squirrels seen now. Possibly the domes are detering magpies also, but it is worrryingly mild and the raiders may get bolder when the temperature drops. One annoyance - the cardboard instructions are fixed on the inside of the domes with sticky tape. The tape leaves a sticky residue. Don't use acetone to get it off, the solvent attacks clear polystyrene. Neither alcohol or soap shift it, so there the gunge remains, to collect dirt.

No squirrels so far.

I'm delighted that I can't find fault with this item, after many years of buying & using so-called 'squirrel proof' feeders from many sources (including the RSPB). None of them, except this one has worked. Why? Probably for several reasons - I suspend the baffle from a hanging basket bracket which is affixed near the top of an end pillar of a long brick wall. Without the baffle, this was easy pickings for the squirrel families around here (12 large Oaks around my property), but with the baffle in place, like an umbrella, the squirrels have tried everything - jumping onto the baffle, but obviously sliding off its curved surface (particularly effective when it's wet after rain) and now, in the sunshine, the reflection of the sun seems to deter them from even trying. This is true of the many voracious jackdaws & magpies that were regular visitors. The only downside for Vine House Farm will be the reduced frequency of my seed orders. My apologies VHF

Baffle excellent to prevent squirrel accessing the food, however, they are now jumping from the ground to reach the feeder! SO, I have fixed the feeder higher up the tree it hangs from.

We have two of these now and they really do work! Set up correctly they keep the squirrels away from the feeders and it is very amusing to watch them trying but they soon seem to understand that they can only get the scraps which means the feeders are reserved for the birds! Highly recommended.

First Class. Bought to replace one that broke. Good price and easily fitted. Excellent value.

This is Christmas present for others.

we use it as a pigeon baddle as well, to keep the big birds off some of the feed trays to give the smaller ones a chance

This completely defeats the squirrels and the first one lasted about four years so very good value.

Great, it has baffled the squirrels, at last something that work! For the first couple of days it also put the birds off feeding but gradually they realised it wasn’t going to harm them & are now feeding again as before. Recommended to a friend who has already ordered one for her garden

The best way of preventing squirrels accessing the feeders at the top of a feeder pole.

Has stopped squirrels climbing up the pole of my bird feeder and eating all the food. Great fun to watch.

Works perfectly for half the price of competitors!

The advantage of the squirrel baffle, other than keeping squirrels climbing up the pole and then driving you up it, is that it can be adapted to fit a wide diameter of feeding poles. Ours is quite thick support three seperate feeding hooks but it fitted fine. The disadvantage is that it does get covered in feeder droppings so make sure you have trays for them.

Works a treat, no longer trying to keep squirrels away from the sunflower feeders

I’ve been a Vine House Farm customer for several years and I’ve never had reason to complain - service and delivery of goods has always been excellent - the Squirrel Baffle fits a feeder pole and certainly preventS theft from feeders so is very well recommended - thank you to everyone at VHF for a long and happy relationship

This baffle stopped the squirrels and rats climbing up the pole to take the bird food; result!

I haven’t actually seen a squirrel in the garden try to negotiate the baffles, so can’t report on that. But they look pretty daunting.

It’s stopped the squirrel getting at the seed but I found another one at our local garden centre for £5 cheaper

Decently robust and secure on the pole below the feeder, seems to keep squirrels off well; Needs mounting 1ft/30cm below the feeder so pigeons and the like can't sit on it, which I wouldn't mind too much if they didn't break the feeders.

Grey squirrels can be a real nuisance on bird feeders, and will not only take a considerable amount of food from them but also scare birds off and damage the feeder. Our Gardman squirrel baffle for bird feeders, will stop these problems and can be used below a feeder which is mounted on a pole, or above the feeder if hanging.
The bird feeder baffle is made from durable plastic, with fittings supplied that will allow it to be fixed above a bird feeder or below it if mounted on a feeder pole or feeding station pole. If the squirrel baffle is mounted above a hanging feeder, it will also act as a rain guard. The squirrel baffle fits poles of 12mm, 22mm and 25.5mm, and is suitable for all Gardman Feeder Station kits and the Droll Yankee Feeder pole. The baffle is 40cm in diameter.
