Audubon Heavy Duty Clear Hanging Squirrel Baffle with Hanging Clip, Clear

I have it hung on the corner of my house where there is no gutter. It works perfectly, preventing rain from running into the birdfeeder. It should have lasted longer but the squirrels knocked it down and due to the very cold weather and age - it cracked the baffle, preventing protection from the rain. It is super easy to put together and made of quality materials.

The baffles are clear, which I really like. The birds are getting to eat the food rather than the squirrels and raccoons! They were extremely easy to install. I do not have them attached to the pole; rather, I have the baffles above the feeders. I wish I had purchased them sooner!

The first few days we were really pleased with how the squirrels were defeated by the baffles. However, after a few days, they met the challenge and found a way to feed off the bird feeder at times - while others they just splashed food to the ground. We even moved the feeders further away from limbs the squirrels had learned to use - but - with a never dying attitude, flying leaps and crashes into the feeders, they wound up with plenty of feed on the ground. Squirrels never give up so I will be coming back to Walmart to purchase one of the feeders that close off if a squirrel tries to get on it.

We put this over a jelly feeder to deter rats. It took about a week before the birds came back and they keep looking up at it. I don't think they're comfortable yet. It's been up for about 2 weeks. The dome keeps the rats from climbing down onto the tree-mounted feeder, but it seems to spook the birds at the same time.

I like this it would protect the birdfeeder from rain I love how it just hooked that I didn't have to assemble it around the pole etc. but it never stopped the squirrels they're now getting up and jumping across to the bottom of the birdfeeder which is supposed to be squirrel proof and emptying the feeder. The birds will suffer because I'm tired of putting out expensive food to feed the squirrels who make a mess under it by spreading the seeds I really liked how this assembled and it wasn't complicated. Just didn't help it all but it'll do fine for rain

I've seen this item at other vendors and the prices were higher. It did not come with instructions and it's not clear to me how the top pieces were supposed to be installed. Overall satisfaction would have been 5 stars, but I couldn't find instructions anywhere, even searching online. There are three set screws in the small plastic piece with the s-**** and I haven't a clue why they're there.

I got this plastic shield to keep my bird feeder dry from rain and snow. The hook design through the shield and the way the hook hangs down under the shield is poorly designed. You cannot use the shield without the long, large hook. The hook screws through the plastic shield and adds about 6 inches of additional length on the hanging bird feeder, making the feeder very low to the ground (where a cat could grab a bird) if you use a shepherd's hook style to hang your feeder. I would not buy this again.

I think I should have looked at this a little closer, does not work on a Shepard's hook. Wanted to use this as the squirrel baffle, cannot install on a shepherd's hook. Can't install the plug over the crook of the hook. so if you have a shepherd's hook don't buy it.

He scaled it just like he knew I was bringing it home. Ha,ha The design of this was too flat out. It needs to be rounded and I think may work better. I had it on a shepherds hook and he crawled up that and then sprawled out on this item and swung down onto the feeder. So much for that!

The quality is good solid plastic, clear, looked great... ...but the squirrels lay on top of it and eat the food underneath without any problem so it does not do what it's supposed to do.
