This is one of my feeders, is this a problem. I HATE THESE GUYS! Been trapping them when I’m there. Raccoons and porcupines getting fat off my free food.
Looks like you are going to have to step up your trapping game. I have about 8+ visiting one of my feeders, but they are mostly frustrated by one of the eliminator spinner plates.
Here's a thought. Secure "T-Posts" to each tri-pod leg. At about head height (for you), put a T-Post insulator on each T-Post (m'be even a couple of rows), string some electric fence line, and charge it with a solar powered electric fence box. Trash Panda shimmies up the leg, hits the hot line and learns to NOT climb said legs. Said idea brought to you buy a city boy... from Seattle (no less). You're welcome.
They’re overtaking our feeders as well. Need to try the 6” PVC idea, we’ve put spikes on the legs and the raccoons seem to get a better grip climbing the legs…
