Get it between -
Unleash a flurry of woodpecker activity in your backyard with Mammal Mayhem Spicy Woodpecker Favorite—a seed cylinder crafted to keep pesky squirrels and raccoons at bay, while inviting a vibrant array of feathered friends. This spicy blend is specially designed to attract an impressive variety of bird species, including Woodpeckers, Cardinals, Grosbeaks, Chickadees, Titmice, Nuthatches, Finches, Sparrows, Blackbirds, Jays, Doves, Juncos, Robins, Waxwings, Bluebirds, Buntings, Tanagers, and Siskins.
How It Works: Birds' pain receptors are different from those of mammals, and they are not triggered by the capsaicin in hot peppers. This product works well deterring mammals most of the time. Rarely, a certain belligerent or desperate individual will decide it doesn't mind the heat and eat the seed anyway.
Best Use: Hot pepper bird feed products are best used when you are trying to "squirrel-proof" the existing feeder you already own and in landscapes with enough launching points to make baffled pole systems and hanging baffles ineffective. We recommend placing the item under a weather guard in a protected location to minimize degradation of the gelatin and movement of small particles from windy weather. Avoid using where pets or children might gain access to the food.
These standard 4-inch diameter cylinders have a half-inch hole down the center and fit in standard cylinder or seed log feeders for an easy way to feed the birds. The spicy flavor will keep the squirrels and racoons at bay, making the cylinder last a long time. To especially accommodate your cardinals and grosbeaks, try this seed cylinder with the EZFeeder and Weather Guard Combo, Recycled Large Red Cylinder Feeder and Weather Guard Combo, or Little Bird Banquet Feeder. For woodpeckers and other birds that like to cling and to make it harder for European starlings and house sparrows to feed, try this easy-to-load Cylinder Seed Cake Holder with Top.
The secret to its bird-friendly allure? A rich mix of premium ingredients that birds crave, expertly infused with a dash of red pepper to deter mammalian invaders. Each cylinder includes:
- Shelled Peanuts
- Coarse Sunflower Chips
- Diced Tree Nuts
- Raisins
- Cranberries
- Shelled Pumpkin Seeds
- Gelatin
- Hot Pepper (Red)
Avoid use in areas directly accessible to dogs due to raisins.
