A WAY TO KEEP VARMINTS OFF FEEDERS!! - 06/09/09 10:10 PM

HOT NEW PRODUCT!
Repels: Hogs, Livestock, Raccoons & Squirrels

This is "IT"! No more need for varmint guards, traps, PVC pipes & cages. Shark Teeth� render all those products useless. Shark Teeth� work on the principle of abstinence. If they can't touch it, climb it, bump it or lick it; they can't tear it up, knock it over, eat up your feed or waste it!

Shark Teeth� come in 36" strips that are 1 1/2" wide. There are three to a set, and the set includes three self tapping screws per strip (9 total). Each strip has 4 parting lines 6" apart. Each 6" strip has 4 pre-punched holes. You can apply complete 36" strips to feeder legs. Then buy our single pack or triple pack and cover your Protein/Gravity Feeders head (or) Control/Timer Box, to create a barrier that repels just about anything.

Line the inside of the feeder legs to keep pigs from rubbing and bumping them.
Line the outside of the feeder legs to prevent raccoons & squirrels from climbing, and pigs and livestock from pushing and bumping your feeder.
Break into 6" strips and install them on your protein feeder heads to prevent coons & squirrels from climbing on them and chewing them.
Break into 6" strips and screw or super glue to the top and side surfaces of your control/timer box. This prevents coons from climbing on it & cows, horses, etc. from licking it.
Remove that varmint cage and maximize the broadcast capabilities of your slinger. No more water filled holes under the feeder wasting the feed the cage knocks down directly under the feeder. When the cage stops the feed, it falls directly under the feeder. Deer, hogs, coons, etc. eat under the feeder when it's dry and dig out a big depression under the feeder. When it rains the depression fills with water and renders the feed useless.
Install strips on your feeder lid to deter raccoons & large birds from roosting & defecating on top of it.
Shark Teeth� have too many uses to list. Let your imagination run wild with Shark Teeth�!

Reminds me of the mending plates that Home Depot sells. These look much more 'purpose built' though. Seems like it would get the job done.

Would love to know how that turns out. I've been trying the carpet tack strips on the feeder legs, but they are still getting up there. However, I don't see as many as I used to. Put two strips on each pole the last time to the lease. See if that helps.

I wonder how long they will stay in business after a fellow slips and falls onto a feeder leg with those things on it?

If you want to keep the coons off...PVC on the feeder legs roughly 2inchs wide, works great!

It is exactly what they look like just in longer lenghts. I am curious to know if they work.

I am a new member and this is my first post.
I put Shark Teeth on one of our feeders about 3 weeks ago because a big hog was coming in night after night and bumping the legs to knock corn out. Per our game cam he is still coming night after night but he ain't bumping it anymore.
The coons were also giving us fits but they are no longer climping the legs. We took the varmit cage off and the coons are not getting up there and spinning the thrower. We can tell the coons have tried to climb because there is blood on some of the Shark Teeth strips.
I accidentally left the game cam on video and in one 10 sec. segment we saw a coon near one of the legs licking his front paws. We could only hope they were bleeding.
As someone said they are made just like those nailer plates you see at Home Depot. Infack we bought two 6" plates, bent them into a circle and put them on the piece of conduit that covers the wire from the solar panel to the timer box because the coons kept hanging on it and pulling it loose.
I can't wait to get back out there and see what is on the cam.
Sorry for the long first post but I wanted to let yall know that I think they are working for us. The spinner sure can sling the corn out there without half of it getting knocked down by a varmet cage.

Little spam there twinbubba? The pvc works good for me. Anchor the legs with t posts and the hogs are taken care of. Cheap and easy.

"licking his front paws" Good night.

Real friendly forum you guys have here. My first post and I have someone calling me a Spammer and a BSer.

I may be guilty of a lot of things but being a liar ain't one of them.

Go ahead with your review later.

We did not have good luck with the pvc pipe or the tack strips. Axle grease is about the only thing that has worked well for us. Just dont bump a leg or you're gunna be cursing.

Now that there looks mighty interesting....I wonder how I might get that to work in my particular instance?

My feeder is a platform feeder so I have an 8' ladder that I (and of course the friggin little creatures from hell) use to climb it..

If I put that stuff on the outside facing surface of the ladder/rungs - but left the top portion of the ladder where you grasp it and the top portion of the rungs where you step uncovered - would it allow the ladder to be used by me but still dissuade the little bastages from climbing since they would be confronted with the sharksteeth on the outside facing rungs and lowwer portion of the ladder? Or are the little bastages so smart they'd be able to figure out to use just the top portion of the rungs to climb?

Of course I could also look at covering all surfaces of the ladder and just afixing with bolts so that I could remove the sharksteeth when I need to use the ladder and just put it back on when I am done - work yes, but at least it sounds like it would keep the bastages away from my corn and spin plate...

God I hate coons...

Look at it this way, you don't care if they climb the ladder as long as they can't get to the spinner. So maybe ring the bottom of the barrel with shark teeth, maybe the control box and the other legs. If I knew exactly what the feeder looked like I might have some better ideas how to protect it.

Re: A WAY TO KEEP VARMINTS OFF FEEDERS!! - 09/02/09 06:03 AM

Good idea twinbubba. I could do the control box, platform surfaces the little buggers use for leverage, etc. Here is a photo of a pretty decent buck watching one of the little buggers...

And a daylight photo to see it better:

Re: A WAY TO KEEP VARMINTS OFF FEEDERS!! - 09/02/09 11:15 PM

I think, for you, if you lift the barrel up & cover the 'floor' w/diamond plate it would solve your particular problem. They wouldn't be able to reach all the way back under to get to it.

Posted By: Earl

Re: A WAY TO KEEP VARMINTS OFF FEEDERS!! - 09/02/09 11:19 PM

Think I'll do that and of course cover that control box up real good.

I am sooo looking forward to the sight of coons on my camera looking up with bloody paws thinking WTF.....

Received and installed the SharksTeeth strips today...eagerly hoping to find squirrel and/or coon blood and hair on the strips!

Re: A WAY TO KEEP VARMINTS OFF FEEDERS!! - 09/03/09 03:00 AM

If it wasn't for cows, hogs & coons this section of THF would not exist! Couldn't Noah just have thrown them overboard?

Re: A WAY TO KEEP VARMINTS OFF FEEDERS!! - 09/03/09 01:50 PM

Another thing I have found that works is mounting the leg brackets half way up the barrel. That puts them far enough away from the feeder mechanism they can't climb up and reach it.

Re: A WAY TO KEEP VARMINTS OFF FEEDERS!! - 09/05/09 04:17 PM

So far some very persistent squirrels have somehow endured climbing up the Shark Teeth strips (36" pieces on each tripod leg)...I actually found spots of blood on one strip, but there was plenty of evidence at least one made it all the way up.
Amazing...maybe their size does not allow the points to really penetrate.

Re: A WAY TO KEEP VARMINTS OFF FEEDERS!! - 09/10/09 01:20 PM

I sprayed the legs with JD graphite paint and it took care of the coon problems, this stuff is slicker than billygoat snot on a doorknob

Re: A WAY TO KEEP VARMINTS OFF FEEDERS!! - 09/14/09 02:34 AM

This is the best feeder on the market to keep anything off. They can't get to it at all. The corn drops back down the feed tube. No wind loss, coon, hog, or anything else. I have several of these and they are the best feeder I have ever owned. Cows can't knock'em down, no ladders to climb, no cables to winch up or get killed under. When you want to move them, just hook on and drag it over. If empty, pick it up and put it in the back of your truck.

Ok, I hate to ask (love the looks/idea) what do those capsulegamefeeders sell for?

HOlEY BLOODY COW...found the answer to my own question. I guess I'm shlepping corn around still....

A $1,000.00 feeder ought to load itself... and kill the coons..

Re: A WAY TO KEEP VARMINTS OFF FEEDERS!! - 09/15/09 11:23 PM

I use and sell the capsules, the price is a lot up front, but like most things they pay for themselves over time.

I do 98% of the feeding on our ranch and other leases I have, this includes building pens by myself. If I can use a feeder without the need of a pen, that takes out $200-$300 right there, plus the work that goes along with it. And another very important point to me is not having to use a ladder, it is only a matter of time before you have an accident climbing ladders while filling feeders, i have 4 1000 pound protein feeders right now that I fill using a ladder, if I can limit the number of times I'm on a ladder I will! I know a guy that nearly died on his south Texas lease after breaking his leg filling feeders...he couldn't open the gate to the highway, someone finally stopped.
