Man vs. Squirrel- Building the Perfect Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder
This is from the guy that made the glitter bomb package to get even with the porch pirates...

Holy sh__. Someone has film of me. Kidding aside, I have been in a knock out drag out war with the rats with bushy tails for years, with their plundering of bird food from my feeders. And their exploits of taking one bite out of each Pear in my Pear orchard before they ripen.
Funny tale.... My war with them could probably fill a sitcom. One angry day, I took a few out with a pellet rifle, and hung them in the wind in the pear trees. Those flattened suckers were flapping around like flags. A friend of my wife, who I do not care for at all, saw the squirrels and told my wife she might call PETA, and turn me in.

When I laughed at the threat, my wife gave me that look. Guys, you know the look. Needless to say, I haven't had a decent pear in 5 years now.
And btw, I have had pretty good luck with this model.
