This is a wire “squirrel-proof” feeder. The squirrels climb out on the narrow metal pole holding the feeder up. I don’t have a tree branch for the feeder to hang directly from. Any advice? Thanks!!

      Keep a dog in your yard
      Or
      put a plastic cone on the narrow pole (The kind you put on your dog or cat when it goes to the vet). Make sure the narrow end of the cone is toward the feeder.
      Or
      You can get a squirrel trap and trap it using peanut butter or apple cores.
      Or
      You can shoot the squirrel with a BB gun. Just make sure you get at least a .22 BB gun to make sure you kill it. Also, in most cases, rifles are more accurate than pistols.
