Squirrels love foods like corn, peanuts (in the shell), sunflower seeds, and specialized critter mix blends. Avoid sugary or processed snacks, as these aren’t healthy for wildlife. Duncraft offers high-quality squirrel feed and accessories to help attract and nourish squirrels while keeping them out of bird feeders.

A squirrel feeder is a dedicated feeding station for squirrels, designed to offer them food and keep them away from bird feeders. By providing squirrels their own food source, you can protect bird seed from being raided while enjoying the playful antics of squirrels in your yard. Duncraft offers a variety of durable squirrel feeders that make feeding easy and fun.

Installing a baffle on your bird feeder pole is the most effective way to stop squirrels from climbing. Duncraft offers a range of squirrel baffles that can be attached to poles or hung above feeders. Position the baffle 4 to 5 feet up the pole for optimal protection, ensuring squirrels can't reach the feeder from above or below.

To keep squirrels out, use squirrel-proof feeders or baffles. Squirrel-proof feeders are designed with mechanisms that close access to the seed when a squirrel's weight is detected. Placing feeders at least 10 feet away from trees or structures and using a baffle on the feeder pole are effective deterrents.
