Ed,
I buy giant bottles of cyanne pepper at Sam's for $3 and mix a heavy dose with my seeds. Now I enjoy watching the squirrels react to the sting more than I enjoy watching the birds eat peacefully. They say the birds do not feel the heat and it is a good vitamin for them.
The ole squirrel will sit there and eat a few minutes and then starts shaking his head and running around in circles in a fit. A few minutes later he runs down and jumps in the bird bath for a drink.... he he.... I peppered it also :~)
I finally bought a have a heart cage trap and simply change their zip code when one comes around.
