one dollar large plastic bowl at the dollar tree store, then some axle grease on the 3 foot hanger the feeder is on and they haven't been on any of my feeders since.

Picked up an American Classic pump pellet today however since my biggest issues is the ferrel cats harrassing our pet cat. Figure I'll take out a couple squirrels to thin the population while I'm at it.

The plastic owl will eventually become a perch for the squirrels and then a tool to get at your seed.It will eventually make their lives easier.
The 1077 is a great pellet pistol but one pump won't even phase a squirrel and by the time you're on the 2nd pump the squirrels will already be gone,never mind feral cats.If you want to thin the population think single pump spring-piston rifle,Beeman,RWS,Gamo are great choices.

The grease they absolutely don't like, I've seen them freek out on attempting to climb down the hanger and after a week they haven't made any attempts to repeat it. I can pump the pistol inside and crack a window and from 20 feet, I think they will get the message.

8 pumps and from 20 feet, three squirrels are back in their nests wishing they had gone to my neighbors feeders or I did enough damage from close range they aren't coming back. Rare to have no squirrels on the ground below the feeders for the second day. Happy to have a couple flickers coming in this year, love the markings on that bird. I have a hawk coming in occasionally to do a little feeding himself, but that is to be expected when you have four feeders going.
