They eat all my suets and seeds. Nasty things! I only use Kaytee Bird Foods and don't want to use it on them.
How can I keep squirrels from taking food from my bird feeder?

I have tried several feeders but they seem to find a way. They even broke a few.
Mya, I really don't think you can. Birds, squirrels and other creatures often take more than they can carry and it drops down. Consider this your contribution to nature.
Move the feeder to a new location or place it in a different container so it doesn't make a mess on the ground. I like to use terracotta saucers.

6 seed feeders at my house and my birds are m e s s y! I put down landscape fabric and tumbled pea gravel on top. If and when weeds pop up, i pull them or spray with vinegar, pour boiling water on them. If sunflowers pop up, I leave those to grow.
Many communities now have codes prohibiting bird feeders because the seed attracts rodents and deer.
