1. Will Squirrels Eat My Cylinder?

Absolutely, if they can access the cylinder feeder! There are a few options to help keep squirrels from eating your seed cylinders. 

1. Use the seed cylinders that contain hot pepper. These have ingredients that are thoroughly coated with hot pepper. All but the most desperate squirrels won't eat them, since mammals have the receptors to feel the burn from the pepper. Birds lack these receptors and happily eat the hot pepper-saturated foods. Be sure to wash your hands after handling these cylinders and keep them away from children and pets. Not into using hot pepper? Try using an all-safflower cylinder instead. Squirrels tend to avoid the tough-shelled bitter seeds, as do soft-billed invasive European starlings, while cardinals, grosbeaks, chickadees, woodpeckers, and many other songbirds really enjoy it!

2. Use a barrier guard or squirrel defeater feeder. These are caged feeders that allow small songbirds through (eastern bluebirds and smaller) but keep the squirrels out. Erva barrier guard feeders have the additional benefit of keeping invasive European starlings at bay, as the wider feeder width keeps them from reaching the prize in the center!

3. Use pole systems with baffles mounted 4-4.5' above the ground surface to keep squirrels and raccoons off your feeders. It is good practice to place feeder poles 8-10' away from anything a squirrel could jump off from.

2. Do These Cylinders Have a Hole?

Yes! All the cylinders we carry have a hole down the center that allows easy mounting on most cylinder holders and feeders.

3. Where Are They Made?

All out seed cylinders are made in the USA from premium quality ingredients. 

4. How Do They Hold Up In The Rain?

Our cylinders are bound together with either animal or vegetable gelatin. They hold up well in light rain; however, they will fare much better with a cylinder feeder with a roof for heavy rain or snow.
