Product Review

Squirrel Stopper Bird Feeder Pole System. It's squirrel proof! This bird feeder support system will stop all squirrels! The inverted cone-shaped baffle on the pole is spring-loaded and capable of moving both up and down and side to side. Squirrels can't get past it! This system is made of 16 gauge steel, powder-coated with a durable black finish and stands about eight feet tall when assembled. The pole assembly is two inch diameter tubular steel. It features four arms to support 4 different bird feeders or other hanging objects such as bird baths or flower baskets. The bottom section of the pole is equipped with a ground auger which will make installation easy and very stable. The entire system comes in a box about 12 inches square and 48 inches long. Assembly is easy and the completed system is very functional but also has an attractive, somewhat Victorian look.

14 months - no squirrels, but now rusting..., May 3, 2009

Kim (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Liberty Products SQC05 Black Squirrel Stopper Pole and Baffle Set (Lawn & Patio)

Ww love this pole and it allows us to use cheaper feeders without the risk of squirrels getting to them - but now, 14 months after install it is rusting in many many spots. The coating is peeling off in chunks. Need to scrap it down and spray paint I guess now. The function of the pole works great - just thought it would last longer without needing upkeep.

Update:
2 years after purchase we did have to scrape entire pole down and spray paint the entire thing. Pole itself still functions well and no squirrels are getting to my cheap feeders - but I do hate scraping and spray painting.

It Works But Read The Instructions!, April 9, 2007

This does its duty of stopping squirrels. However be careful where you place it. In the instructions it says like place 10ft. away from fences and such. We didn't and learned our lesson. First they would jump from the birdbath next to it and onto a feeder. So that was moved. THen they realized our fence was high and jumped from that onto a feeder. So read the directions. Don't be like me and ignore it. I've watched squirrels attempt to climb up the pole and just slide down many times. Its very amusing.

Sturdy and well made! LOVE IT!, April 23, 2009

Birdwatcher "Birdwatcher" (Vernon Hills, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Liberty Products SQC05 Black Squirrel Stopper Pole and Baffle Set (Lawn & Patio)

This is a wonderful product. It is really sturdy and goes deep into the ground so it stays steady. My only problem is that being 5'4" I can't reach the highest arm to hang stuff on- but my husband attached a couple of hooks and now I can reach all the bird feeders to refill them. I wish I had bought this product a year ago instead of wasting money on cheap shepherd hooks ($20 each) and baffels ($25 each) that are flimsy and short. The squirrels could still get to my feeders despite having a large baffel because the shepherd hooks were not very tall. The Squirrel Stopper is a wonderful setup and well worth the cost.
