From the manufacturer

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.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2025Works 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2024We have had a crazy population boom of both squirrels and raccoons this year! So many that the birds never have a chance to get any! They hogged the feeders and gobbled it all up! I started to feed the 4 footed group away from the feeders, and added this to all the bird feeders. After some time of doing this, the 4 footed ones only eat in their area now, and the birds have been left in peace! I have noticed the gray squirrels are very sensitive to it, but the red squirrels take longer to feel the burn. I did not have to add more, just let them eat more. Still works. Could not be MORE PLEASED! This is saving me tons of money!
I just place the seed in a covered plastic container such as an old ice cream pail, apply, cover and shake it. Let is sit a minute before you open it, outside is best, don't put your nose over the top and inhale!! I have had zero issues in using it.
Thank you for saving my bird feeding fun!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2024This 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.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025Using rubber gloves, I applied this sauce (slightly diluted with water) to a bag of birdseed with a spray bottle. I must have somehow gotten it on my hands, but even after washing them, I still got some on my face. I also didn't see any squirrels OR birds the first day. Saw 3 little birds 2nd day who quickly left after trying the seed. No squirrels. But third day, saw squirrel on a birdfeeder eating. Later that 3rd day, saw one bird at a time try the birdseed and immediately leave. So my experience is the opposite: deters birds, not squirrels. But while there is caution about getting this on your skin, I think this product needs to be reworked. Today, I decided to mix non-treated seed with the already treated seed using rubber gloves, goggles, and something over my nose. Washed the gloves before taking them off. Shortly later, I happened to rub my forehead without the gloves, but it quickly started stinging. Tried to use soap and water on my forehead, which made it worse. Tried icing. Didn't help. No matter how much I tried to protect myself, this product caused a lot of discomfort.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2024I’ve been using this pepper sauce for about six weeks now and I’m happy to report that my feeders are squirrel free! After the squirrels experienced it once, they’ve stayed on the ground and off the feeders. I don’t even see them try to get on the poles anymore. The birds are still eating the food though and I’m very happy with the results. If you still see squirrels on your feeders, you may not be using enough of the pepper sauce. It’s also important to keep feeders full of fresh food, because the rain or morning dew will rinse the pepper sauce off the food eventually. I freshen up my feeders every 7-10 days.
I highly recommend using gloves when handling this stuff. As another reviewer recommended, I fill a gallon ziplock bag with feed and pour in some of the sauce. Then I shake and massage the bag until everything is covered. A little bit goes a long way. I don’t find it as irritating to my eyes and throat as others have complained about. But then again, I only have the bottle open for a few seconds in the house and seal the bag quickly. Then I take it outside to fill feeders.
I avoided buying peppered food because it’s so expensive, but this pepper sauce allows me to use whatever food I want without being tied to one brand or store. Give it a try!
