Where there's a will, there's a way! Squirrels will find a way into anything! I have had squirrels chew on the metal parts of a bird feeder until it was soft enough for them to bend it out of the way.

It took several trys, but I have found a couple of spots under my porch where they can't jump or climb onto the feeders - except one squirrel that actually crawled upside down along the support. I yelled, he/she jumped - I think it hurt itself, because it didn't try the upsidedown trick again.
