Do the Hot Pepper product really work?
Hot pepper products are treated with an all-natural patented hot chili pepper extract proven to reduce squirrel activity by a Cornell Univ. feeding study. Your birds can’t taste the scorching hot chili peppers but your squirrels can and usually do not come back for a second taste. No available method of protecting birdseed against squirrels is completely effective. Hot pepper seed is means of deterring squirrels. Occasionally you may find you have a ‘cajun’ squirrel who doesn’t mind the hot pepper taste.
