We have a couple of bird feeders and always a couple of squirrels come around and eat most of the seed. I found a simple solution so the squirrel gets a big surprise next time he wants to eat bird seed!!

A family of three blue jays. We love to watch them take the peanuts in the shells, that we put in the feeders. They will take one at a time, go into the trees to eat them. They will not leave until all peanuts are picked up.

How To Make squirrel deterrent from your bird feeder

Step 1

Dump some cayenne pepper in your bird seed and shake it up before you fill your feeders - if you don't want the squirrels to eat it. The birds won't be able to taste the spice -and won't bother them. But the Squirrel will take one bite and not want it anymore! We did this, and watched when the squirrel came around, and it worked.

Step 2

We put other things out for the squirrel in the winter months. but the seed is for the birds.
