This problem is incredible, i have had to switch to metal cans (they ate through all my plastic cans) to store my feed and now i cannot stop the squirrels from eating all there feed i put out on bowls!


 


I have seen these but seem pricey and seem like they would be hard to fill up and even harder to teach the deer to eat from them

i only have 3 deer but probably 25 squirrels............dont have them time to try to shoot them all.


 


My deer eat inside a metal building and the squirrels sit in  the truss's just waiting for me to come put out feed.................................


 


Thanks in advance for you tips or tricks
 
I have the same exact feeders. I love them. A little pricey, but worth it. My Feed doesn't get stuck in the tubes.


I hate to say this, but you have a squirrel infestation. And I am pretty sure they will be able to chew the plastic parts of the feeder. Look into golden Malrin. Read the precautions
 
will squirrels eat golden marlin? For ***** i mix it in dr pepper or other colas?


How do you get squirrels to eat it????


 


thanks
 
I would dilute it in some water, then soak corn in it, then serve to them. BE SURE THE DEER CANNOT GET TO THE CORN!!
 
Your metal building sounds like a great place for snares. Give those squirrels an easy path down a couple of horizontal or leaning post, and put some on the trusses. Glue or nail several rat traps on some other trusses, with a piece of corn super glued to the plate. Make some sets on their path into the building. Attack using multiple tactics, and use the poison only if you have too.
