If you want squirrels to stop eating your wildbird seed simply add Cheyenne pepper to it. Enough to coat all the seed. I used this technique back in Texas about 1-2 table spoons per cup and tossed or shook to coat. Birds will not be affected as they have less taste buds but the squirrels will not eat it as they can not tolerate the heat/taste..It works and I didn't think it would either but once I noticed the squirrels were killing off baby birds in order to eat the seed I gave it a try.
Buy them their own squirrel food, and put it a ways away


from the bird feeder,it must never be empty, so it will


distract them from going up the bird feeder. Really, there


might not be anything that can detour Squirrels from food


anywhere. My suggestions is feed them.
