Wild Delight Sizzle N' Heat Wild Spicy Bird Seed to Deter Squirrels | No fillers, corn, milo, millet. Premium ingredients make up this hot bird seed squirrel proof. Attract the extraordinary

Ever since I started using this bird food I haven’t seen a squirrel anywhere near the feeder. We used to have some pretty clever squirrels completely empty the feeder. The only problem you’ll have is keeping the feeder filled—birds love this! We get all kinds of birds and it’s great to watch them. I’m pretty sure I have one of the most popular spots in the area. Highly recommend.

Our birds simply love this bird food. We had it in another feeder,and it does not stop the squirrels.

No rodents!

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.

This is the type of bird food I use in my feeders to keep the bears away. I lost a couple of feeders to a hungry bear a couple of years ago and I was told that using bird food treated with hot pepper will stop them. Birds don't mind the pepper because they have different taste buds than mammals. So I replaced the feeder and set up a trail camera to see what I might record. That first night with the trail cam, I got a video of the black bear lumbering up to the feeder probably thinking he'd have another easy snack. The feeder was hanging about 4 feet off the ground so he got underneath it and put his nose up to smell it and quickly turned away! So for the last few years all I use is bird seed like this that is treated. I also use hot pepper suet in all my suet feeders. The birds are happy and I have a great selection of different ones who I enjoy watching. I will go back to regular seed like fruit and nut blends, etc., once the weather has been cold enough to let the bears go into hibernation.

I can say that the squirrels don't really mind the heat as I see them getting into the feeder. The birds like it too.

Attracts about 25 different bird species in my backyard - the front has a few different birds but I do not have a video feeder there so about 30 if I included the turkeys/crows/other birds. Had a BirdBuddy, but swapped to Birdify. I now run a very expensive outdoor wildlife dining area. Only negative, the squirrels are not deterred. Appreciate the variety it attracts, is pricey considering squirrels are not inhibited - needs more spice.

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.
