This Squirrel Baffle stops the squirrels in their tracks, mounted properly my feeders are 100% squirrel proof. Watching the squirrels trying to get past the baffle is as much fun as watching the birds, no matter how hard they try their unsuccessful. I mounted mine on the pole under the feeders just as instructed, works great. I mounted one for my Mom on a 4X4 post using my own yankee ingenuity, that turned out to be a squirrel stopper as well. I simply set the baffle to the top of the 4X4, I then set the feeder on top of the post and baffle and secured it with a flat washer and screw.

This squirrel baffle does not work at all. The squirrels sit on the top of the baffle even though it swings. Then they slide down and reach underneath for the bird feeder. Once on the feeder, they hang on and feed all they want. This squirrel baffle was a waste of money and I would not recommend it. Very disappointed.
