Why It Actually Works

Birds and mammals have different pain receptors. Capsaicin — the compound in hot peppers — triggers discomfort in squirrels and raccoons but is completely undetectable to birds. They taste nothing unusual. Your birds keep eating. The mammals give up and move on.

Common Questions

Yes — capsaicin (the active compound in hot peppers) causes discomfort in mammals but is completely undetectable to birds. Squirrels and raccoons learn quickly that the feeder isn't worth their time. Most customers see results immediately.
Completely safe. Birds lack the capsaicin receptors that mammals have, so they experience no irritation whatsoever. They taste the seed — not the pepper.
No — the cylinders fit standard cylinder feeders. If you don't already have one, the Starter Kit bundle includes a feeder and hook so you can start immediately.
That depends on how many birds you're feeding and weather conditions, but most customers find cylinders last significantly longer than loose seed — partly because they're dense, and partly because the mammal deterrent means less waste. We recommend a feeder with a roof for heavy rain or snow.
All seed cylinders and cakes are made in the USA using Amish-crafted premium ingredients. We're based in Midland, Michigan.
