I put a metal air duct around my 4x4 wooden pole , about 10 years ago . Our
small hobby farm is ‘’filled’’ with critters = we are on a pond and small lake
— so , many nice critters to watch . This has been very helpful in keeping
raccoons and squirrels off a very nice feeder. Our 150x50 foot garden has 4
level electric fence and motion detector water cannon = keeps out deer,turkeys
, squirrels, raccoons , opossums—-etc.. This year has been very active
with many many active visitors…
The metal duct works …
Good Luck 🦝
