Squirrel Guard Is:
• Stainless steel • Easy to install • Reusable for many, many years
• Proven effective in field testing • Cost saving by reducing squirrel chew repairs
• Stress reducing (who likes to have splices in their tubing...
reducing sap flow...just another joint to leak and reduce vacuum...
looking amateurish...letting the squirrels win!?)
One Squirrel Chew:
• Affects all the taps in the lateral lines the chew is in
• Introduces bacteria into the system
• Doubles the installed cost after repair of
each chewed drop or lateral
• Creates a loss of sap production from each chewed line
Simple Instructions:
• Install on the whole length of the drop
• Install where the lateral line touches the tree
(No need to protect all of the lateral line)
12” - 16” on either side of the tree
(or where a squirrel can reach the tubing)
