Yes - squirrel cull!
Seriously, though, it is possible but difficult to discourage squirrels without resorting to a caged feeder. You need to get the feeder far enough away from obejcts that the squirrel cannot jump across from a tree / post etc onto the feeder and then prevent him from climbing down onto it by using something he cannot get a grip or reach round on at the suspension point, eg cut off the top of an old 2lt drinks bottle.
Good luck!
