I want to protect my container plants from Squirrels. Would it withstand squirrel bite?

I haven't seen any squirrels try to get through my netting, however I doubt it would hold them back. I have seen squirrels chew through canvas before. I would recommend chicken wire for your container plants.

I use it to keep squirrels out. Squirrels could bite through it but that's not what happens. If you wrap it around the plant or drape it over loosely, the netting will get them tangled up in it. They really don't come too close to it, just a touch and I can tell they don't want to get into the stuff. I have no more tomatoes with bites taken out of them since I started using this.

No. Any animal can bite through these types of nets; that's not what they are designed for. Plus they could just squeeze through it. You need some chicken wire fencing for that.

I doubt it will, you would need hardware cloth ( a wire mesh) for squirrel.

I strongly doubt this would stop squirrels or chippies. I did get 2 squirrels caught up in mine and he couldn't get out. So MAYBE they would get frustrated, but I doubt that. They are relentless. I suspect they'd just chew thru it.

I have squirrels in the yard but they have not bothered it as of yet. I don't see them chewing through the stainless steel mesh, but if they knock it down of course it would spill out. It is not a screw on cap. Just goes down onto feeder. I will certainly update when and if a squirrel attempts to dislodge this feeder.

This feeder is not designed to be squirrel proof. We would recommend hanging the feeder from a baffler to keep the squirrels from getting to it.

I haven't seen any squirrels in the feeder. That said, I know they are super clingy and great climbers! I think the slippery top helps keep them away, and as long as the bottom of the feeder isn't somewhere near a fence, it's pretty squirrel-resistant.

Yes. They don't make them like they used to. This model is definitely cheaper. If you hang it high and have squirrels and they knock it to the ground it'll probably sustain damage.

The feeder is pretty slippery and my squirrels cant seem to get a grip on the feeder itself, so I really dont think that will be an issue with them eating through the plastic.

I doubt it...unless you keep food in it! Seriously though, no squirrels have bothered mine and it looks as good as the day I put it up.

For the most part, yes. Mine is effective to date against raccoons and squirrels, although at some point I would not be surprised to see a raccoon put it on the ground. Many squirrels have jumped on it with no discernible spillage. A worthwhile investment with excellent and personal customer service.

Not particularly squirrel proof but does a great job keeping away hornets and wasps. If you hang it from a thin diameter shepards hook and spray that with silicon it will make it very tough for the squirrels to get at it.

Unless it's mounted on a pole with absolutely no launch pads (trees, decks; from which the squirrels can jump from onto the feeder), then consider it squirrel proof. This is far from it. Squirrels hang from it and the seed scatters all over the place.

70Randy, I have been trying to outwit squirrels for over 25 years! I don't feel this unit would keep food secure from squirrels. While airtight, I picture a squirrel figuring out the latch system in no time.

I don't know if this product is mouse proof, but it certainly isn't squirrel proof. A mouse is different in size and may not destroy the lid to pieces, but I gave up. I spent lots of $ buying containers that claim to be pest or rodent proof and now I'm looking for a metal container I can use as storage for birdseed. Hope this helps you out and good luck.

While this feeder is not squirrel proof, the all metal design helps to prevent damage caused by squirrels.

My guess is that it would be quite difficult for them to get through as it is quite sturdy. I would imagine that it would take them a lot time to chew through if it was even possible. however the only way to guarantee that a squirrel won't get in is to have a metal container. It is air tight so they may not mess with it either way.
