C&S Hot Pepper Delight Suet (12 pack)
Our Review
Hot pepper suet cakes infused with capsaicin that deters squirrels and grackles while birds eat happily. Birds lack the taste receptors for capsaicin, so they don't notice it at all. Squirrels learn very quickly to leave it alone.
Why We Love It
This is our secret weapon against squirrels at the suet cage. They try it once and never come back. Woodpeckers and nuthatches don't notice the heat at all — they eat it like regular suet.
Pros
- Deters squirrels and grackles
- Birds can't taste capsaicin
- Same nutrition as regular suet
- Bulk pack value
- Works immediately
Cons
- Can irritate your own skin — wear gloves
- Slightly more expensive than regular suet
- Won't stop all squirrels forever
Birds This Attracts
Our Tip
Wear gloves when handling — the capsaicin can irritate your skin and eyes. Store extras in a sealed container.
