"The Benefits of Hanging a Bar of Soap Near Your Bird Feeder"
Hanging a bar of Irish Spring soap near a bird feeder can effectively deter squirrels and other wildlife from raiding the feeder, as they dislike the scent of the soap. This natural solution is a safe alternative to using pesticides or chemicals and can also be used to keep deer out of gardens and spiders out of homes. For those who prefer homemade options, crafting soap with scents like mint, cinnamon, rosemary, pepper, or garlic can also serve as an effective wildlife repellent near bird feeders.
