Well, the hideous baffle didn't last very long. After only a few days, the squirrels decided that they had had enough of this disgusting, ugly thing, so they chewed right through the twine and ate to their hearts' content. Dale and I just laughed, because apparently the squirrels had better taste then we did!
But we were not stopped for long. Dale ordered a lovely expensive pole feeder with a guaranteed to work squirrel baffle. It has 4 arms, so you can hang four lovely bird feeders on it. And that's just what he did! And the great thing is, the baffle worked! The squirrels tried to climb the outside, but it moved too much. Then they tried to climb inside, but it was a dead end. They spent hours hanging on branches and our porch railing, eyeing the distance to see if they could make the jump, but no, they just couldn't. Now they hang around the base, sadly eating whatever the birds knock out. But don't feel too sorry for them. Dale feeds them critter food every now and then!
