Perky-Pet 340 Transparent 16-Inch Squirrel Baffler

 (9 customer reviews)

the plastic hooks could not hold up my feeder. It crashed to the ground destroying a $100 bird feeder that was performing wonderfully. The design of this dome was working perfectly, but the inferior parts failed.

I've since seen other domes with metal hooks. Please checkout those unless you plan to hang a basket ball.

If you put this on your pole the squirrels will chew right through it within a week. This product is totally useless. Get a METAL squirrel baffle!!!!

This is JUNK. My backyard squirrels figured out how to get around this in a little less than an hour. It is not big enough or deep enough, so they can out their weight on, slide to edge, and jump or grab onto the feeder.

In addition, the 2-piece screw hook comes undone after a few days of hanging. This meant that the feeder fell off the hook and baffle onto the ground. I put it back together, tightened it really good, and tried again. It fell the next day and this time my $15 feeder fell and broke. So not only did this product not work - it cost me $15 to try it, PLUS the trip to 2 stores to find a replacement feeder (I bought 2, so I have a back up now.)

Some years ago I got a squirrel baffle that worked for several years (and through all seasons!) - before the metal hook rotted away and it broke. Unfortunately the store that carried it no longer has them. So I am still looking.

But I cannot recommend this one unless you want to throw your money away...Read more
