The SquirrelStop® automatic spinning squirrel deterrent safely and harmlessly protects your hanging bird feeder from hungry squirrels. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, the increased weight starts the SquirrelStop motor, which spins the feeder and causes the squirrel to jump off. Squirrels soon learn to leave your feeder alone - and birds can enjoy their food undisturbed.

The SquirrelStop:
  • prevents squirrels from wasting birdseed
  • works with any hanging feeder weighing up to 10 lbs
  • requires no assembly, and is easy to use
  • is safe and harmless to squirrels and birds

SquirrelStopThe SquirrelStop automatic spinning squirrel deterrent protects your hanging bird feeder from squirrels safely and efficiently. When a squirrel climbs onto the birdfeeder, the increased weight activates the SquirrelStop motor, which spins the feeder and causes the squirrel to jump off. Since birds weigh much less than squirrels, they don't activate the SquirrelStop.

Setting up the SquirrelStop is easy. Simply hang the device where both the SquirrelStop and your feeder will be at least 40 cm (16 inches) from the nearest object.

Fill the feeder with seed (ensuring the total weight of the feeder is less than 10lbs (4.5 kgs), hang the feeder from the SquirrelStop, and turn the device on. That's all there is to it.

When it's time to refill your feeder, switch off the SquirrelStop, remove the feeder, and fill it with seed. Then hang the full feeder from the SquirrelStop, and turn the SquirrelStop back on.

The SquirrelStop automatic spinning squirrel deterrent is constructed of durable, high quality UV-resistant materials, and has been designed to provide many years of reliable service.

SquirrelStop Components

  • The weight of the squirrel on top of the feeder starts the SquirrelStop spinning for 20 seconds, which causes the squirrel to jump off.
  • Birds, being significantly lighter than squirrels, are unable to trigger the SquirrelStop, even if several birds are on the feeder at the same time.
  • Suitable for birdfeeders up to 10 lbs (4.5 kgs) total weight including birdseed.
  • Operates on three D-cell batteries.

"SquirrelStop is a disc-type device that is mounted on to a hanging feeder. When a squirrel steps on the SquirrelStop, the increased weight engages a motor that spins the device and prompts the squirrel to jump off. Squirrels learn to leave the feeder alone, and birds can enjoy their food undisturbed".

"You can't have a big family gathering for the holidays without providing a little entertainment. SquirrelStop protects your hanging bird feeder from squirrels and it's fun to watch.

Squirrels learn to leave your feeder alone – and birds can dine undisturbed. SquirrelStop keeps squirrels out of the feeder and the ScareCrow keeps wondering pests and pets away from my garden".

"The bottom line on these squirrel-proof bird feeders is easy: they work. In fact, they work so well, I think they're reputation precedes them. When I hung out my bird feeder with the SquirrelStop attached to it, in order to test it for this review, the squirrels didn’t even attempt to outsmart it for the longest time. Perhaps they knew better! When one brave squirrel finally did try to breach security, he was unceremoniously ejected – much to my delight!"
