    I was just going to suggest buying a BB gun, kind of a simple, but funny answer. Only use a pump or two though, you don't want to injure them, just scare them. lol
    (1) Begin by surveying the site where you want to place your feeder. Bird feeders should be 8 feet away from any tree trunk, limb, or rooftop. Place feeders at least 5-6 feet above ground.

    (2) Baffles - baffles are round umbrella-shaped barriers that are place either above a hanging feeder or below on a pole mounted feeder. On pole mounted feeders, baffles need to be at least 4 feet up on the pole.

    (3) Another method you may want to consider is using PVC pipe, available at local building supply stores. Squirrels are unable to climb on the PVC pipe.
