Product Description

Product Description

The SquirrelStop® automatic spinning squirrel deterrent safely and harmlessly protects your hanging bird feeder from squirrels. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, the increased weight starts the SquirrelStop® motor, which spins the feeder and causes the squirrel to jump off. Squirrels soon learn to leave your feeder alone – and birds can enjoy their food undisturbed.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Until Something Better Comes Along", September 14, 2007

By	E. Canally - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Second SquirrelStop purchased through Amazon. Depending on the construction of the feeder, I have finished the battle of wits with these 'rodents'. 90% of the time this product will deliver its objective. That is to toss the furry into space. "They" did tend to cling to the feeder constructed of softer material such as wood. Maybe they could develop a model with a supercharge takeoff that kicks in when this is detected.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't stop the chipmunks, May 11, 2009

By	A Reader "A Reader" (USA) - See all my reviews

I've had the SquirrelStop since February. It took some adjustment to get it to work. For example, I initially had a feeder that had a little tray at the bottom. The squirrels quickly figured out that if they set the feeder spinning, food would fly off of the tray so they could still eat. I changed feeders to one that didn't have a tray, but the perch style meant that the squirrels were able to hold on to the post with their back feet and cling onto the perch with one paw, thus stopping it from spinning while they fed. I finally got a feeder that they can't foil and it has worked great every since. It has been weeks since I've seen a squirrel even bother trying. On the other hand, in the absence of squirrel competition, little chipmunks have taken their place and they are too light to set off the spinning. Fortunately, they don't eat nearly as much as squirrels so I've decided to let that go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product, August 11, 2008

By	Terr Bear "Bird watcher" (Michigan) - See all my reviews

Have had it a couple of months now and have never seen it not do it's job. Even when the squirrel hangs on. I have seen them hang on for 3 times until they can take it no more. Great fun for the kids to watch. The only problem is that the squirrels tend to not try anymore.
