If you have a bird feeder on a pole or post this can be pretty effective. Apply a coat of petroleum jelly to the pole or post that your bird house or feeder resides on. Squirrels won't be able to climb the pole or post.

Pepper don't work!
Squirrel Problems
Don't put a bird feeder that they can climb or hop to or you will never get rid of the critters. They will strip all the fruit from your trees!
Also, adding red cayenne pepper (the fresher the better) to the birdseed will help to deter the squirrels, but not bother the birds.

You can also use a metal pole or pvc pipe over the post. save money in the long run.

The petroleum jelly will also collect all the dirt and little bits of stuff in the air that the wind blows around, thus making your post a mess to look at.
Keeping Squirrels out of the Bird Feeder
If you have trouble keeping squirrels out of you bird feeder that is on a pole spray the pole with Pam. It doesn't harm the critters and it's funny watching them slide down the pole.

Spray the post/pipe to the bird feeder, with silicone spray, also if it is a metal or plastic feeder spray that as well. May take a couple of coats but will last for 6 or more months.
