 I reckon if I get a 12v electric pulse generator, put the positive to the metal feeders hanger and a negative earth from a plate fixed on the end of the supporting branch, a squirrel will short circuit the system if it leaves its rear legs on the branch plate as it grabs the feeder top. 

The only risk is if Jan sees me doing it….she will reposition the device and connect the terminals to my …….8-)

It’s getting a bit annoying with upto 4 squirrels disturbing the feeding zone. For the first time this year I had a Great Spotted Woodpecker, greenfinchs , chaffinchs and goldfinches in numbers happily feeding together…then up come the tree rats and everyone left for a good hour or more. Time they can’t miss in this weather.  Rant over.
