Cole's Flaming Squirrel Seed Sauce, 16-Ounce

This stuff is burning hot be careful when handling, because the bottle can leak and it's hard to get it off your skin and drives squirrels insane. After a few encounters, they can smell it and won't go near your bird feeder or whatever you apply this on. I've experimented with using it on plants that deer go after, too. Birds cannot taste it, so it won't bother them. Docking a star because it's pretty pricey. I'm going to try making my own solution with cayenne next time.

I pour enough seed to fill my sunflower seed feeder into a flat bottomed plastic bin used by my grocer for salad green mix, add a couple tablespoons of Flaming Squirrel, and stir it up well. I've found if I let it sit for at least several hours the seeds seem to absorb some of the sauce. Then I use an old half-cup scoop to fill the tube feeder. I used to see squirrels hanging upside-down from the feeder stealing the seeds, but no more ! As for flavor, the squirrels aren't talking, but it doesn't seem to bother the birds. I feed mostly cardinals, finches and chickadees. I'm going through seed pretty quickly.

We had become very popular with all the neighborhood squirrels as it seems they could come over and have endless all-you-can eat bird seeds and suets. Well with the flaming squirrel seed sauce it took just one whiff and they went away looking for the food we do provide for them like corn, peanuts, etc. We already have notice how much $$ we have saved in the couple of weeks of using the product. The birds continue to enjoy the food as the sauce does not bother them. Highly recommend this product!

This stuff works like magic! The squirrels aren't interested in it (hooray) and the price is better than I can score locally. It arrived well packaged. I'll be back for more!

Where I live we have the smaller Douglas squirrels, but they can empty a feeder very quickly! We have tried all manner of shields and feeders to no avail. When I first put Coles in the birdseed, I looked to find a squirrel sitting there having a feast and was so disappointed. I shewed him off, then watched him sit on a stump trying vigorously to clean his mouth and paws. He must have spread the word, since that was over a month ago and I have not seen a squirrel since!

I mix this liquid in with my wild bird seed to keep the ratsmice away and it works! But the price has almost doubled!! Hoping it comes down as we get back to regular business.

In my battle to protect the birds' food supply from the hated but respected squirrels in my backyard, I've tried and failed many times! I have "squirrel proof" ha! feeders. I've moved the feeders away from trees, hung them in hard to get places. I've made my own red pepper mix. It wasn't until I stumbled upon this menacing looking syrupsauce that I finally found something that works!I read reviews about leaking or cracked bottles being delivered. I was worried, but my bottle was bubble wrapped and packed well. No leaks or cracks.Make sure to wear a glove when handling this stuff. Getting some on you hands doesn't hurt. It's when your hands spread it that things get a little dicey. When you pour this stuff, it looks like blood. I used about a cap full between my two feeders. You basically want to start to see a color change in the bird seed if you've ever had BBQ sunflower seeds, that's the look I got.The great thing about this stuff is that not only does it deter squirrels, but it attracts more birds! That was almost immediate for me! I've even mixed a little of this sauce with my homemade red pepper mix and sprayed my apple tree with it use a mask and dirty clothes. Seems to be working so far!Definitely recommend this to solve your squirrelchipmunk issues. I'll be buying more!

This stuff is amazing!! It has completely stopped our issue with squirrels eating ALL the birdseed!! They tried it once and never returned! The birds absolutely LOVE the seed and our feeder is always full of a wide variety of different species. Now the issue is a fat mouse that has doubled in size-go figure who climbs up the tree and gorges itself on the seed. We havent been able to trap it yet and we are going through birdseed at an alarming rate. I wish this stuff worked for mice, but sadly it does not. One caution. be careful when you are mixing the hot sauce into the seed as the fumes are very strong and irritating to your nose and lungs. I cant imagine its harmful, its just a lot of hot all at once. Also wear gloves when washing the tools used to mix it because it burns your skin. Its like cutting jalapeños, take caution.

I really like this product. I would say 80% works. However, I had one squirrel that still wanted to eat but not as much. Definitely wear gloves when mixing this formula! Just do it. I did not thinking, oh I can do this neatly, and a small amount of formula got on my finger. It took me several washings and lingered even then. Eating a sandwich? You just added red hot pepper. I will order again.
