Squirrel, Raccoon & Deer-Resistant Feeding System

Be the Yard the Birds Come Back To

When the seed stays put, the birds keep coming and transform your back yard into an oasis you can sit down and enjoy. This pole system keeps the squirrels, raccoons, and deer out of the feast, so the table stays set for the visitors you want.

Pole + raccoon baffle + pole extension, bundled and priced below

A 40-lb bag of seed shouldn't disappear in a week.

At our shop we hear it every day:
"The squirrels chowed down all day."
"Raccoons knocked the feeder off the hook."
"The deer just stand there eating."
The feeder isn't the problem. The setup is.

The Three-Part Fix

Set the table right, and the birds do the rest

Stops squirrels & raccoons

Add a raccoon baffle

Raccoons can simply reach past a standard squirrel baffle.  This full-length raccoon baffle will defeat both. Any critter that tries to climb the pole will hit a smooth, wobbling wall it can’t get past. Set the top at least 4-feet off the ground to prevent squirrels from jumping over it.

Included in the kit

Stops deer

Raise feeders higher

Deer don't climb, they just reach. The pole extension adds a full foot of height, lifting your feeders above where a deer can stretch its neck and pull seed from the trays.

Included in the kit

Stops the aerial attack

Install 10 feet from anything

Squirrels are jumpers. Place the pole at least 10 feet from fences, decks, and overhanging branches, so there's nothing to launch from, eliminating both ground and air routes.

What happens after the squirrels give up

"This is the 3rd one I’ve ordered! I laugh when people say they can’t keep squirrels out of their bird feeders. Oh yes you can! :)"

— Ginger

"I was able to hang three types of feeders from the arms of the pole and I used the baffle as well. So far the squirrels don’t even seem to attempt to bypass the baffle. I am extremely happy with the Feeder Pole and Baffle set!"

— Elizabeth

Good questions we get at the counter

Will a regular squirrel baffle work instead?

For squirrels alone, sometimes. For raccoons, no. They can reach right past a short, standard baffle. The raccoon baffle in this kit is longer, so it handles both.

How far does the pole really need to be from trees and fences?

Ten feet. Squirrels can jump surprisingly far horizontally and drop in from branches above. Measure from the nearest fence top, deck rail, or overhanging limb. If it’s under 10 feet, move the pole.

Do I need the extension if I don't have deer?

Possibly. Even if deer aren't a problem now, the added height is cheap insurance. It also lets the baffle sit high enough that longer feeders stay above the top of the baffle.

Does it need tools or concrete to install?

All you need is a long shanked screw driver and pliers or adjustable wrench.

The pole base twists into the ground. The pole sections slide together with lower bottom section attaching to the screw base using a set-bolt. Snug the bolt using pliers or wrench to keep your pole sturdy.

The baffle rests on a mount that attached to your pole using screws. Simply set the mount at least 4 feet above the ground, tighten the screws, and slide your baffle on the pole.

Most people are up and running in 10–15 minutes.

Does it really ship free?

Yes the complete kit ships free. If you want helping picking a location email us a photo of your yard before it goes in the ground and we'll point you to the right place.
