The Eliminator: A Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder
Protect Your Seed—and Your Sanity—with the Eliminator™ Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder
Summer in Wichita brings longer days, greenery, and unfortunately, more squirrels raiding bird feeders. At Wild Birds Unlimited of Wichita, we recommend the Eliminator™—a smart solution that lets birds feast while keeping pests at bay.
🌟 Why Wichita Birders Love the Eliminator™
Weight-activated seed protection: Squirrels (or large birds like grackles or pigeons) trigger a clever mechanism that shuts the feeding ports the moment they land. You can even fine-tune sensitivity to exclude certain birds by size—perfect for Wichita’s variety of feathered visitors
Keeps seed fresh longer: Its innovative Seed Tube Ventilation System™ prevents moisture build-up—a blessing during hot and humid Kansas summers.
Ease of use: Holds 3–3½ quarts of seed, hangs effortlessly, and disassembles without tools for easy cleaning. All parts are dishwasher-safe for summer maintenance convenience.
Built to last: It's covered by a limited lifetime guarantee and made from chew-resistant materials, designed with Wichita’s curious squirrels in mind.
🧼 Keep It Fresh: Cleaning the Eliminator™
Proper maintenance transitions your feeder into a healthy habitat. Here's how Wichita bird lovers can keep it in tip-top shape:
Disassemble all parts – No tools needed. Watch our video "How to Properly Clean Your Eliminator Bird Feeder" for step-by-step guidance
Soak parts in sanitizing solution – Use a 1:10 bleach-to-water ratio (or 1:1 vinegar alternative) for 15–60 minutes to disinfect
Rinse thoroughly – Ensure all cleaning agents are washed away; reassemble only once fully dry.
Regular schedule – Clean feeders every two weeks, or more frequently during wet/high-use seasons (like summer).
✨ Wichita Summer Setup Tips
Placement matters: Hang it at least 18" from trees or structures to thwart squirrels. Mount on a pole with a baffle for extra protection
Use high-quality seed blends: Fill with sunflower chips or No-Mess Blend to attract songbirds while offering the best nutrition.
Stay vigilant: Regularly check that the weight mechanism closes ports properly—nothing's worse than spoiled seed—and maintain the feeder every two weeks.
