Frequently asked questions

How does the Roamwild PestOff Bird Feeder stop squirrels?

Every feeding port is individually spring-loaded, so when a squirrel or any animal heavier than a songbird lands, the port closes instantly and blocks the seed. The tube is riot-shield-grade polycarbonate with heavy-duty metal baffles — no squirrel has chewed through it.

How far from a wall or tree does it need to hang?

Hang it at least 18 inches away from any vertical surface — wall, fence, post, or trunk — so squirrels cannot cling alongside and reach across to the feeder. Roamwild's hanging brackets and the PestOff Bird Feeding Station are designed to give exactly this clearance.

Does the PestOff feeder keep rats and large birds away too?

Yes. The same weight-activated ports that stop squirrels also shut out rats, pigeons, crows, and other large birds, so only songbirds can feed.

How much seed does the PestOff Bird Feeder hold?

It holds 3 lbs of birdseed (1.6 quarts / 1.5 liters), so it needs refilling far less often than standard feeders. Seed is not included.

Will cardinals use this feeder?

Yes — the red version is Roamwild's cardinal feeder, and it takes the mixed seed and sunflower hearts that cardinals and other songbirds feed on.

Do I have to take the feeder apart to refill it?

No — just open the lid and pour seed in. Full disassembly is only needed for occasional deep cleaning, and that is tool-free too.

What seed can I use in this feeder?

It is designed for mixed seed and sunflower hearts.

Is the PestOff Bird Feeder weatherproof?

Yes — it is 100% weatherproof, with a built-in rain guard above the seed ports that keeps seed dry and fresh year-round.

What comes in the box?

The PestOff Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder with its hanger — ready to hang and use straight out of the box.

What colors does it come in?

The Roamwild PestOff Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder is available in Red or Green.

Which Roamwild squirrel proof feeder should I choose?

This PestOff feeder holds 3 lbs (1.6 quarts), measures 7 in × 7 in × 18 in, and suits most yards. The PestOff 2.0 steps up to 4 lbs of seed and adds dual squirrel-proof baffles and an anti-squirrel ring, in five finishes including USA Flag. The Mega PestOff holds 8 lbs for busy yards that empty feeders fast. All three use the same patented weight-activated spring-loaded ports that close on squirrels.

Bought on original design (red top). A squirrel knocked it off the branch and one part broke. Tried contacting Customer Service but received nothing but 'email not delivered'. Must be customer service is an oxymoron to them. So far I don't recommend purchasing from this company.

Not exactly "squirrel proof." The squirrels hang on to the post and dip their paws into port to access the seeds. However, the design slows down their gathering seeds. I am satisfied with the product.

The product seems to be deterring squirrels. Now if I could just deter the sparrows!

Would love a feeder with more feeding ports... with the volume of birds, even with lots of feeders filled .. they need frequent refilling with birds waiting

Loving these feeders. I’ve had both up for 10 days now and no squirrels or raccoons have gotten to the feed. The birds, expect the cardinals, are loving the feeders. So far our cardinals are going to the 1 old feeder we left up to help attack the birds to the new ones. Very pleased and just ordered 2 more and the pole to put them on. My neighbors ask where I got the feeders from. I

Took a little for the birds to find but they love it now. The top for some reason is a little bent not sure why. Hasn’t affected the birds love though but is why I gave it a 4 not a 5. It didn’t come that way.

Great. Bird feeder. Keeps squirrels from getting seed. Wish it had more spots for birds

It does eliminate the doves and squirrels, but our cardinals will not feed from it. Tried the perch extensions as well. Tried it for two weeks, they circle and move on. We now get mostly finches only. They will refund the money if I want to pay to ship it back…..hmmm. Thinking. Good customer service, though.
