Been using this seed for over a year. No more squirrels. And I've seen birds I've never seen before.

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024
I am a bird lover. I feed birds. Squirrels love what birds eat. So, the conundrum is how to feed the birds and not the squirrels. I have tried many things over the years, from Vaseline on the feeder poles, squirrel proof feeders, slinkies, etc. I hand mixed feed with cayenne pepper. Nothing worked long term. At my wit's end, I ordered this as I got a camera feeder for Christmas from my kids and I wanted to see if I could keep it squirrel free. After reading how it's made, and how the spice is soaked into the kernels, it seemed much better than my hand mixed blends. Long story short, it worked! Squirrels would take a taste and immediately leave it alone. Because it's expensive, I only use it on the new feeder right now, but since I don' have those furry raiders attacking it now, a little last a long time. I highly recommend this product, it works, and it keeps working. It's also the right size for all size of birds, from the chickadee to the red-bellied woodpeckers!

I live in Alaska and while we love having our bird feeder and watching the birds, we have a problem with not just squirrels but bears coming onto our deck. We normally have to take our feeder down in summer because of that. When we first tried the Hot Meats, just out on our railing, our birds didn't seem to care for the seeds and it didn't really deter the squirrels though they did make faces and rubbed their noses. Honestly, I was ready to write a negative review at that point. We waited several weeks without feeding the birds at all which we really missed. So I started just putting out the Hot Meats on the railing again and gradually, the birds came back and started eating them. Now they are crazy about them and we haven't seen a squirrel or bear on our deck in weeks and we have actually put the feeder back out. Now we have our Chickadees, Nut Hatches, Starling Jays and others in feeding frenzies. To the point that I have ordered another 5 lb bag and a 20 lb bag. They are a bit pricey, but being already shelled you actually get the seeds and not just seed shells. I would recommend this product and advise to be patient.

I waited 5 days for any, I mean any bird to eat this food and not one ever did. Be cautious when purchasing this stuff. Get the least amount possible and if it works for you then Good! If not you'll be in the same boat as me ,(hoping this would work and realizing it doesn't).

Product did defeat 4 out of 5 tree rats off my 2 bird feeders. However works better on my new feeders w/metal feeding ports. Soooo overall a very good product....just not against 1 out of every 5 tree rats aka SQUIRRELS.
My Grandson was so grateful! The item was delivered promptly.

The ones out of the shell have more of a hot taste. Inner City Birds love it, Squirrels and rats hate it.
Because they are too large for the perch, I sprinkle some on the ground under the tree for the Doves.
I find the birds prefer the tube feeder hung in a tree rather than on the porch.
The only time they disappear is when there is a hawk visiting the yard for prey.

The squirrels and rodents tend to like the ones that are still in the shell.
