Bird feeder squirrel deterrents that work

Try using safflower seeds...squirrels don't like them, but birds do

When I was a kid my mom had a shitload of feeders. We tried all the squirrel proof shite. None of them really worked. They were out of control. Then they started fricking up some of my moms plants and she gave in. My dad and I went and got a crack barrel pellet rifle with a scope and killed 70 in one year. They got the hint.

I use a Henry lever action 17 caliber with a scope.

But I eat squirrels.

Wrap whatever is holding the bird feeder in large diameter pipe.

Squirrels cants climb it.

I shoot to scare with my son's airsoft Thompson machine gun. They don't come back.

I do battle with the little buggers all the time.

We are building a house and when we move I’m buying this:
Roller Feeder

I shoot them off my feeders now with a Red Ryder B.B. gun. Just startles them. Until we move can’t use anything stronger due to neighbors.

Edit: some squirrels eat the spicy. Doesn’t work.
Air soft sounds good. But doubt they never come back. BBs don’t keep them away for long.
