$129.95Troyer EZ Off Predator Guard (Climbing Animal Barrier) for 2” Square Poles This predator guard will protect your Purple Martins from climbing predators such as snakes, raccoons, cats, squirrels, and opossums from climbing your 2”-inch square pole and preying on your martins. It fits the 2-inch-square Deluxe Gourd Rack poles. Its advantage is that you can take it off and put it back on every time the pole is lowered. It is mounted above the winch.
