The Squirrel Stopper System Liberates Backyard Birders!

Concord, NH - -  March 2007 - - If you feed birds in your backyard, chances are you’ve had a run-in or two with squirrels. Squirrels have gained notoriety for their uncanny ability to defeat most systems put in place to prevent them from ransacking bird feeders. But backyard birders need fret no more—simply erect the Squirrel Stopper Pole System and free your feeders from squirrel raids. This pole holds four feeders and features an ingenious “floating” baffle—it bounces up and down, side to side—squirrels can’t get past it to get to your feeders.

Lots of folks think squirrels are incredibly adorable and invite them into their backyards—tempting them with treats of corn-on-the-cob and peanuts. But this article wasn’t written for those types. We’re thinking about the guy who’s completely fed up watching seemingly self-centered squirrels devour every scrap of his seed or suet—leaving his sweet songbirds without as much as a nibble. And we’re sympathizing with the woman who’s tired of replacing her feeders because these ravenous rodents think nothing of turning her tube feeder into a teething ring. Not to mention that while these feasting fur-balls are gorging themselves on bird seed, skittish songbirds won’t come anywhere near the feeder. 

You don’t have to stop feeding the birds—and you can win the war on squirrels—simply install the Squirrel Stopper Pole System. At a soaring height of 8 feet, squirrels can’t jump high enough to reach bird feeders hung off the pole. In order to get to the seed, they must first attempt to scurry up the pole. But once they reach the “floating” baffle cylinder—it's hasta la vista, baby! The baffle’s curved dome top prevents squirrels from holding on—and the rocking action literally shakes them free. Squirrels can't get a claw hold and they slide down the pole back to the ground.

Sharon Dunn, president of Duncraft explains: "Duncraft is a leader in squirrel proofing. We know that if a squirrel gains access to a ‘squirrel proof’ feeder, through his relentless maneuverings he is likely to figure out how to defeat it. Or he may simply knock the bird feeder to the ground to get at the bird seed! The ingenious Squirrel Stopper System, however, wins the “Squirrel Wars.” There are lots of baffles and poles available, but let’s face it, they can give the yard a somewhat hodgepodge appearance. I really like the all-in-one Squirrel Stopper System because it’s a sleek-looking pole—and it keeps bird feeders squirrel free!”

The Squirrel Stopper System is manufactured of durable steel with a rust resistant, black finish and topped with a decorative cardinal finial.  It supports four bird feeders and comes with a twist-in ground socket to firmly anchor into the ground. This pole can be purchased at www.duncraft.com
