Works exactly as advertised. When I first put up the bird feeder, the squirrels were devouring the seeds. Treated the seeds with this pepper oil and the squirrels wouldn't touch it, but the birds are not bothered. Now that the birds have found the feeder, they bring their friends and are fighting over the seeds. I suggest you wear rubber gloves when treating the seeds or placing in the feeder so you don't accidentally touch your lips or eyes with your fingers after you are done.

about us
- Cole's Wild Bird Products Company is a true "mom and pop" success story. Back in the early 1980's, Richard and Nancy Cole started feeding experiments in their backyard because the "birdseed in a bucket" they bought at the grocery store wasn't attracting the beautiful songbirds they wanted to see. They devoted hours upon hours researching the dietary needs of their feathered friends to find just the right combination of ingredients that would bring the most birds to their bird feeders. Neighbors started noticing the increased bird activity in the Cole's yard and came knocking for the secret. Soon the first dreams of an entrepreneurial business were born.
- They would mix and bag their own seed in the garage at night after work and deliver it to neighbors and local stores on the weekends. A few years later Richard's daughter, Elaine, joined the family enterprise.

Mostly works.
This seems to deter most squirrels. But like others have said, there’s always at least one that could care less. I dowse my seed beyond the recommendation until the seeds are red and sticky. I have one squirrel who will sit for 10 minutes each morning and munch away like it’s coated in sugar.I don’t condone this, don’t do it. After smelling this many times and being sent into coughing fits (it’s a heavy respiratory irritant), I couldn’t believe there was a squirrel that enjoyed the stuff. So I had to try it myself. It’s not ghost pepper hot, but it’s still pretty ridiculously hot. I would not electively eat this in abundance. So, if you have squirrels undeterred by this sauce, just know that they’ve honestly earned the seed at this point, because there’s no way it’s an enjoyable experience.It does wear off over time and in rain, but the bottle lasts a while and it does make bird seed last longer. The birds still enjoy the spicy bird seed. Overall, worth it.
