How to Choose

When selecting products from our Wild Bird & Wildlife Squirrel & Critter category, consider the types of wildlife you wish to attract.

Care and Maintenance Tips

To ensure the longevity of your Wild Bird & Wildlife Squirrel & Critter products, regular maintenance is essential. Clean feeders every two weeks to prevent mold and bacteria growth, using warm soapy water or a vinegar solution. Inspect birdhouses for any signs of wear or damage, particularly after harsh weather conditions. Additionally, consider seasonal adjustments; in winter, provide more feed to support wildlife during colder months, while in spring and summer, maintain a consistent supply to attract nesting birds. Following these care tips will help sustain a healthy and inviting environment for wildlife.
