My bird feeder is a squirrel / pack rat feeder (1 Viewer)

The squirrels are bad enough, but then at night a couple of pack rats start in when the squirrel day shift is over! I tried a baffle with no luck. Any suggestions for rodent proofing?
 
I rodent proofed my feeder by hanging it on a seven foot pole. It is also very important to put a baffle on the pole below the feeder to prevent any squirrel/rat from climping up. Also, make sure there are no tree branches near the feeder to prevent a jumping squirrel from landing on it! So, hopefully that helps, good luck. :)
