Squirrel Proof Wild Bird Feeder - Roamwild PestOff (Mixed Seed/Sunflower Heart Feeder)

Product Information

A seed catcher is a tray you install onto the pole of the feeder. Some feeders already come with mounted trays, some with detachable ones, there are also seed trays sold individually. This, of course, doesn’t work on flying pests, but can be a great defense against many animals. Feeder Guards Weather Proof: Never worry about seed clogging or dampness spoiling your birdseed again. With a built-in rain guard above seed ports, the PestOff Bird Feeder keeps your seed dry and fresh all year round. From an aesthetics perspective, it looks pretty good. While no bird feeder isn’t going to win an award for being the most beautiful thing in the universe, there certainly better-looking bird feeders, and we’d put this bird feeder in this category. Dark green works well in any garden, so it’ll fit in regardless of the colour of your plants, hedges, fences, shed, etc. The tube itself can hold 1.5 litres of seed, which is a fair amount and will last for many, many weeks. Although some will advise against larger birder due to the fact that seed can get wet and mouldy, in addition to the fact that they’re typically harder to clean, if this model is 100% waterproof, it will mean that its size won’t count against it and will actually make it a more appealing product. Roamwild Pestoff Bird Feeder: Our Field Tests

Any ant species would go crazy over a sugar source. After they inform their colony about it, you’ll soon find a swarm of them invading your feeder. While rodents are more likely to become interested in bird feed in winter, the feeders aren’t necessarily safe in summer. That’s especially true if you live in an urban area where these pests can’t find food in nearby fields or parks. If you live in an area with bears, keep the ground under the feeder ultra-clean. Place the feeders in an open area and hang them on tall poles. While you don’t have to eliminate meal moths from the bird feeder, you have to get rid of the source.On the face of it, this sounds great. A simple mechanism that can stop pests from getting to the birdseed…but does it work? We’ll discuss our ‘field test’ findings later. Before that, let’s take a look at what else the RoamWild PestOff bird feeder has to offer. The problem is that rats can become incredibly aggressive and scare away avifauna. If the feeder is placed near your home, they could also get inside, raiding your kitchen and even finding a cozy spot in a wall or attic where they can nest.

Large Capacity: With a generous 1.5 litre capacity, you can save both time and money on seed. The need for constant refilling is a thing of the past. (Seed not included) These catch and collect the seeds and food that the birds drop for you. All you need to do is empty it at the end of the day. No-Waste Bird Food Since the cost of an infestation can hardly compete with the cost of bird feed, you might want to dispose of any open bags if you’re worried about beetles spreading through your house. Prevention methods include frequent cleaning of the feeder, frequent feeder relocation, and the use of a fishing line to hang the feeder rather than wire or rope.

Motion-activated sprinklers around the feeder can also discourage cats – although feral cats that are very hungry might not be bothered by water. While the whole purpose of placing bird feeders in your yard is to attract birds, the seeds may appeal to a wide range of avifauna. Similar to meal moths, beetles can contaminate bird feed and other types of grains. The problem is almost the same – most birds eat beetles, and you don’t have to throw away a larger bag just because you’ve seen beetles or beetle larvae in the seeds.

Your feeders require monthly cleaning and disinfecting. The more often you clean them, the better, as long as you can guarantee no traces or residues.Feeders don’t only tend to one or two pet birds but numerous wild birds each month, which makes it prone to damage. Not to mention the strong wind, ever-changing weather, and the strong will of pests to get their hands on the food supply. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNvKnO1L8Qg Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: How to Discourage Pest Birds from Feeders (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNvKnO1L8Qg) 11. Cats

If we humans feel more comfortable when we have refuge near us, then so do pests. They wouldn’t think twice in approaching your bird feeder if it’s surrounded by objects to sneak and hide in. Repellent sprays and a strategic location of the feeders away from fences, walls, and other structures that raccoons might climb can also help. These objects are commonly overgrown terrain. It is a good idea to ensure your feeder is located in a clear and open area far enough (at least 10 feet) from both terrain and your home. Baffles Furthermore, according to the advertising spiel, it’s also 100% waterproof (something we also tested), meaning that there’s no chance of seed getting wet, mouldy, and potentially full of bacteria that might harm the birds. Sadly, a lot of bird feeders that claim to be waterproof aren’t (or aren’t 100%), so finding one that is 100% waterproof is actually quite rare. Whether it is or not, well, you’ll just have to wait and find out! Inverted domes are usually filled with water, while standard moats designed to install under the feeder have very slippery surfaces. This prevents ants from gripping onto them, so they slip.Normally, both of these species share flower nectar to live. But when it comes to a one or few bird feeders, hundreds of bees swarming around is surely an issue.
