I have a pole with a hook to hold bird feeders and it is the type that sticks in the ground. Squirrels and chip monks constanly
get up and eat the seeds in the bird feeder. The baffle comes with a bracket, like a collar that is attched on the pole, and it is fixed in place by tightening the screw. The split in the baffle makes it convenient to put on. It then can be closed by hooking the ends together [they come with fold shape like a "U"]. Best to keep up the baffle as high off the ground as possible because the squirrels can jump up at leat 3 feet I think. I use this in combination with the supposedly squirrel proof feeders and works effectively, especially with the red squirrel. They are small and very smart. Also, make sure to keep the feeders away from other pole feeders and trees. Those squirrels are very determined and can jump fairly far. For the money, this is one of the most effective anti-squirrel guard. Highly recommended.

The "Audubon" Squirrel Baffle 18" Wrap has worked very well. Earlier plastic varieties which I have had worked well for a while but then the squirrels chewed through them and were eventually able to get around them. I have seen the squirrels test this baffle with their teeth but finding it to be a heavy metal they just gave up. The baffle is easy to put on a pole and does the job.

I have purchased this type of baffle in the past, but our local stores only carry the cheap plastic ones of late. I have never had a problem with this type of baffle and thus far, this baffle is working just as well as the three other baffles I currently own.

This baffle was easy to install and is quite effective as keeping the squirrels away from the feeders. My highest recommendation!

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT. IT IS HEAVY GUAGE METAL, THAT NOTHING CAN GET PAST, AND IS VERY EASY TO INSTALL. I NOW HAVE TWO. THEY PROTECT MY SATILITE DISHES, WHITCH ARE ON POLES. BEFORE THEM; A SQUIRREL ATE THE PLASTIC OFF OF ONE OF THE PICKUPS IN ONE OF THE DISHES. $80.00 LATER AND 6 DAYS WITH NO SERVICE,I ORDERED MY FIRST BAFFLE. ONE POLE WAS TOO BIG FOR THE BAFFLE, BUT THE BAFFLE CAN BE EASILY CUT WITH TIN SNIPS TO MAKE THE HOLE BIG ENOUGH. HIGHLY RECCOMEND. WAYNE D.

This wrap around squirrel baffle works extremely well. However the powder coating wears away in just a few weeks and then rust starts to appear.

I had a baffle deployed for about six weeks. I noticed that the bird droppings no longer washed away in our daily showers in Florida. I took some automotive soap and washed the baffle. The soap started to turn a dark color as the powder coating washed away. I also noticed a small amount of rust along the seam where the baffle is hooked together.

I washed the baffle thoroughly and dried it well. I then applied two coats of high gloss black rustoleum. The baffle looks better than brand new. This glossy surface will help to deflect bird droppings, make it extra slick for squirrels trying to grab hold of the edge and will not rust.

The baffle also needs to be placed far enough from trees, bushes, etc.. to prevent the squirrels from jumping over it to the feeder. If you do this, squirrels do not stand a chance!

I do love the baffle and would have given it a five star rating except for the powder coating finish. I even ordered three more squirrel baffles.

I had been fending off squirrels from my two feeders on my shepherd's hook for some time. I tried most everything I could think of, but the little critters were relentless. I read good reviews on this product and thought I'd give it a try. I'm so happy I did because it has worked flawlessly. The opening over the cone makes it a great match for the shepherd's hook. The coupler easily attaches and the baffle rests right on it and snaps closed. The baffle loosely sits on the coupler which concerned me at first, but the coupler is larger than the hole atop the baffle, so it's fine--in fact it gives the baffle the opportunity to sway and move some, so that's an additional deterrent if a critter touches it.
Because the baffle has so much surface area, it does get dirty with bird droppings. But the finished metal surface is simple to hose down every few days and keep clean.
I can't be pleased more with this item. It was worth every penny! I'm no longer spending extra dollars on the bird seed the squirrels would tear through, and I'm no longer spending time running outside chasing squirrels away from the feeders.

This squirrel baffle keeps the squirrels from getting into my sunflower feeder. It was easy to put on the bird feeder pole and stays put.

I've been looking for a baffle that will work for a 3 inch diameter pole and have had no luck until now. The only ones I've been able to find have been for wood posts but I didn't want to spend $50 for it either. After reading Wayne D's review about using tin snips to enlarge the hole on the baffle I bought the baffle. I received it within a few days and took the tin snips to it and was able to enlarge the hole like he said; for less than 20 bucks. Now this week I can finally put up my beautiful cedar bird feeder. I'm very happy I found it. I highly recommend this baffle.

It works pretty well if there are no rose bushes, shrubs, sprinkler valves, or other objects that squirrels can launch themselves over from and land right on the baffle.

3 out of 4 squirrels in my yard are cursing this product.
However, squirrel #4 is cunning and diabolical, and must be stopped!

Unfortunately, birds like to decorate it with droppings.
And, the baffle is difficult to clean. The droppings have to be scrubbed off by hand.

i am more than happy with this product. the squirrels can no longer get an easy feast on my bird feeders since I installed this baffle. I get a kick out of watching them trying to figure it out, and believe me they have been persistent, but so far they haven't been able to get past it. I highly recommend this product, Its easy to install and snaps in place with a little force. absolutely no complaints
