Abstract
An anti-vermin shield for a wildlife feeder includes a body member formed in a pyramidal configuration that is removably coupled to a leg of a wildlife feeder. The anti-vermin shield slides over each leg of the wildlife feeder and is secured with a ring clamp. The side sections and base member of the anti-vermin shield prevents varmints such as raccoons and squirrels from climbing up the leg of the wildlife feeder. Specifically, the larger end of the body member is directed downwardly prevent a varmint from entering or going around the shield.

An anti-vermin shield for preventing varmints from climbing up a leg of a feeder, said anti-vermin shield comprising:
- a body member that includes a plurality of side sections each having a lower edge and a pair of spaced apart side edges extending away from opposed ends of said lower edge in a converging manner that, together, form a triangular configuration in a singular plane;
- wherein each side section includes a tab positioned at an upper end proximate said convergence of said side edges, respectively, said tab being in said singular plane;
- wherein a respective tab of a respective side section is coupled to an adjacent tab of an adjacent side section so that, together said plurality of side sections are coupled together via said adjacent tabs and said coupled side sections, that, together, define an interior space and an open bottom.
An anti-vermin shield for preventing varmints from climbing up a leg of a feeder, said anti-vermin shield comprising:
- a body member that includes a plurality of side sections each having a lower edge and a pair of spaced apart side edges extending away from opposed ends of said lower edge in a converging manner that, together, form a triangular configuration in a singular plane;
- wherein each side section includes a tab positioned at an upper end proximate said convergence of said side edges, respectively, said tab being in said singular plane;
- wherein a respective tab of a respective side section is coupled to an adjacent tab of an adjacent side section so that, together said plurality of side sections are coupled together via said adjacent tabs and said coupled side sections, that, together, define an interior space and an open bottom;
- a base member having a plurality of peripheral edges coupled to respective lower edge of said plurality of side sections, respectively, such that said plurality of side sections extend upwardly said plurality of side sections.
