Wild Delight Sizzle N' Heat Wild Spicy Bird Seed to Deter Squirrels

We bought this to keep the raccoons out of the bird feeders, and it works pretty well. Some, most, raccoons still try, but they take a bite or two and turn away. (One literally threw himself/herself off the feeder so that one must have gotten a really hot bite.) There is one raccoon, however, who seems impervious to the sizzle, so it’s not 100% effective, but at least now it’s one raccoon vs the dozen we had before. The squirrels really don’t like it. The birds, however, love it which was my biggest concern. The package came well wrapped with no spillage.

I am surprised that I have not seen a squirrel around my house... Cause they were always coming around to feed on our bird feed. But the birds are plenty. I love it. I hope we have made a nice welcome to the birds with this food.

We were tired of seeing the squirrels bully the birds and hog all the birdseed. This solved the problem. Now the squirrels don't even bother the feeders when before they would eat the majority of the food.

This bird seed is supposed to keep away squirrels. I put it out a few days ago and the only creatures I have seen eating it are the squirrels. They sit right on the feeder and eat these seeds with no problem. I did call to try and address the issue, as - if this was my company, and I was advertising a product this way - and then discovered it was doing the opposite of what I advertised, I would want to make it right. I spoke to Blaine, who was very polite, but basically told me just to write down the mfg number and then buy more, but avoid buying from the same batch in the future. He said that the ends of the batches may cause a difference in effectiveness. I don't know why I would buy from this company again if the product was not only expensive, but I spent a lot of time weighing options. All this just to have the birdseed only attract squirrels, and then have the company tell me that even if it is a quality issue on their end, that I should go buy more, just from a different batch. This is not good customer support. I did not want to leave a review like this, but I did call them directly, first, to give the opportunity to make this right.

Even though this bird food is expensive it does the trick! I mix it with regular bird food and the squirrels have been trained now not to try it. It burns the mouth of the squirrels and birds cannot taste hot sauce.

I found this brand considerably less expensive compared to similar competing brands and the birds love this every bit as much as the more expensive brand I used to use. I was weary of the squirrels eating all the regular standard bird seed I used to put out not to mention the raccoon that would climb the poles with the feeders to get at the seed. Unfortunately, I have recently discovered that one of the squirrels seems to have no trouble eating this blend and I am again having to regularly chase him away. Overall, this does seem to work reasonably well, I had to deduct one star since at least one squirrel is eating this like crazy so I will end up going back to the original higher priced blend I used previously. Its a decent product, but not the best.

Enjoy this food as it keeps deer and squirrels off my feeders and last much longer as a result. Might cost more upfront but saves more overall

Does NOT deter squirrels from eating it. Seems like regular food. Birds and squirrels like it equally. Wouldn’t spend the extra money on this again.
