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 )
