Expensive but bomb proof.....

"BRINKWORTH & DISTRICT VERMIN CONTROL" grey squirrel control feeder, 11inch | eBay

An angled feed chute which is removable to allow for cleaning and aid the flow to the front hopper of what ever feed you decide to use. A closed lidded hopper so that your not feeding all the other wildlife in the area.

Similar to mine - I used 81mm mortat cases - and they seem bomb-proof (see what I did there? ). I've had mine out for about 3 years now
I got fed up of squirrels chewing wooden ones to bits, even with reinforcement mesh on, so went down this route. You won't regret it.
(Only difference on mine is I put a small vertical wooden section as an upright at the back of the tray as a sacrificial backstop if any pellets passed through so they hit that rather than the metal face of the box itself)

Do you have any pics ? Think I’ve got 2 mortar tubes in my shed somewhere.

Hi - for clarity, it's the rectangular metal box that I used, not the actual tube - but here is a pic


...I sprayed over the words "hi explosive" to avoid unnecessary alarm
