I've had too many of the cheap plastic tube feeders destroyed by the tree rats. They will gnaw thru the opening to get as all the seeds, spilling them on the ground.
One unfortunate TR cut its paw pretty badly on the cracked plastic (based on the blood on it).
Used to use my bb rifle to scare them away until I got one with a "thru shot" to the head. Never thought that bb could travel that fast to blow its brain out but that was the last time I used it.
Now I have my feeders where they can only get them if they learn how to fly or operate a ladder.
When they are at their worst, they get into EVERYTHING!
They repeatedly dig up my garden beds looking for acorns they never planted there. I think that a launcher is in the near future, so that I can at least enjoy their demise!!!
