Top 5 Best Squirrel Baffles (**2021 Review**)

This baffles是影响cted from textured powder-coated steel and is 18-inches in diameter. An included coupler that looks like a four-pointed star, clamps to the bird feeder pole to hold the baffle in place beneath the bird feeder. The coupler will attach to any pole that is 1/2-inch to 1-3/8-inch in diameter.

The baffle is shaped like a cone, sloping down from the top like a volcano. When squirrels climb the pole and get to the baffle, they can’t find any way to get past it. Because it’s made of steel, they can’t chew through it either. And the powder coat keeps it from rusting.

但是，如果您的松鼠足够大，可以到达挡板的边缘，他们将能够抓住它以将其拉起并越过它。要注意的另一件事是，耦合器相当薄弱。尝试用更强大的东西替换它以获得更好的结果。

Shaped like the torpedo in its name,this baffle由纹理涂层钢制成。它包括一个黑色的星形耦合器，可以安装在任何1/2英寸至1-3/8英寸杆上。

这是一种“滑动”挡板，这意味着您必须将其滑到杆上，然后再将杆的底部植入地面。挡板的直径为6英寸，足以使松鼠在内部站起来，但没有。

This baffle rotates on the coupler/clamp underneath. When they try to grab the bottom of the torpedo, it rotates and they skitter away. The included coupler seems a be weak though, and you may want to consider replacing it with something stronger that will hold the torpedo in place but still let it rotate.

This only works on straight poles and the baffle needs to be high enough off the ground that the squirrels can’t jump on top of it. Four to five feet seems to be optimal. Once again though, large squirrels have been able to defeat this baffle.

This 16-inch clear baffle被放置在喂鸟器上方，它也可以用作鸟类的天气盾。透明的塑料不会阻碍您对鸟类的看法。它也可以放在馈线下方，以充当更传统的挡板。

像前两个挡板一样，这将适合1/2英寸至1-3/8英寸的杆子，并包含一个透明的塑料耦合器，当您将其安装在鸟类喂食器下时，它将将其固定。否则，会有将其安装在馈线上方的挂钩和说明。

This baffle is made of plastic which is fairly brittle. If the squirrels knock it over it’ll crack at the very least, and possibly break.

It does a reasonable job of keeping out most squirrels, but nimble or large squirrels can get past it. When hanging them above the bird feeder, one possible option is to mount two of them, six to eight-inches apart above the feeder.

The swing and sway from one to another will double the difficulty for the little critters of getting past them.

This 15-3/4-inch wide dome经过精心设计，可以防止正常的松鼠和花栗鼠。当松鼠施加重量时，它悬挂在喂食器上并倾斜。他们没有什么可抓住的，他们掉到了地上。

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work quite as well for larger squirrels. They can grab the hook assembly with their back feet then hang down to reach the bird feeder. Attaching 6-8 inches of chain between the dome and the feeder makes it harder for them, but occasionally an enterprising one will figure out how to grab the chain and scurry down that.

如果您在喂鸟器下方使用，则仅适合杆直径从0.5英寸到1.25英寸。黑色的塑料圆顶厚而对他们咀嚼的努力相当抵抗，但是如果它落在混凝土或岩石上，它将破碎。
