Chipmunks and squirrel traps

Projects General Guidance

I’ve looked and looked on the Internet for a wireless Squirrel or chipmunk Chaser to keep the Squirrels out of my bird feeder and but didn't found any
I made one ,but it is not working but every once in a while had to take it down to recharge it, after it working ever once In awhile and the almost daily taking down to recharge I got tired of trying to use it that I took it and the bird feeder down and gave up completely, the birds can’t feed with the Squirrels on it all the time.

Would someone help me figure an Arduino circuit that would work,.

The squirrels will circumvent anything electronic.

There are plenty of birdfeeder videos on Youtube showing anti squirrel feeders of different kinds. Look for strategies there.

Put chilies in the bird food.

Report back on whether it works.

I heard once that birds can't taste chili so they don't mind it. Don't know if it's true.

For pure entertainment, I prefer the slinky :grinning:

Although I wonder if the crafty little buggers will figure out they might be able to scramble up the slinky fast enough to get to the top.

This is true, they actually love peppers and are the primary distributors of pepper seeds in nature
One of many sources
