Damn ambitious squirrels. Sam and
Damn ambitious squirrels. Sam and Marianne gave us an awesome bird feeder at the wedding for our new house and it's been quite the hit with all the little birdies around our block, but today a bastardo bandito squirrel mission impossible'd down the rope the feeder was on and chewed it in half just above the entry point at the top of the feed to make it fall so he could pillage and plunder the booty. Bitch! Now I must find suitable repair material and fix our cool little feeder. I'm thinking so Kevlar reinforced rope might due the trick.
Even with the tensile strength of that high-tech rope, rodents have powerful choppers. Rats have been known to chew through both concrete and steel plating. Maybe you should think about something like this:

Clever little blighters (or biters), aren’t they?
Use wire and make sure there is an electrical current running through it - WHAMMO - no more squirrel problems!
I would suggest putting the feeder on a pole and putting a baffle on the pole. Don’t place the pole close to overhanging branches or ledges. Those kamikaze squirrels will jump onto the feeder.
