Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

Here’s a “Do Just One Thing” Hall of Fame tip. There are many unusual and clever tricks to keep squirrels from raiding the bird feeder in your backyard. But one simple item really works: red pepper flakes. Rodents like squirrels hate the spicy, sharp taste of red paper flakes and quickly learn to avoid stealing the seeds. Our feathered friends, on the other hand, can’t detect heat from red paper flakes and will devour them along with the seed. And if another animal ingests red pepper flakes, they may not like the taste, but it won’t hurt them, either.
