Squirrels can clear out a suet feeder before the birds get a turn, since they'll eat almost anything left out for backyard birds. Log Jammer Hot Pepper Suet Plugs, 9.4oz uses capsicum pepper, an ingredient many birders reach for because birds don't have the sensitivity to capsaicin's heat that mammals do.
Why Does Pepper Work on Squirrels but Not Birds?
Birds lack the receptor that makes mammals feel capsaicin as heat, which is why a pepper-based suet can sit untouched by birds while squirrels tend to avoid it. That's the general reason hot pepper suet exists as a category, and it's the main thing that sets this pack apart from a plain suet plug.
What's in the Pack, and Does It Fit a Standard Feeder?
Each pack holds 3 plugs, 9.4oz (270g) total, made from Rendered Beef Suet, Ground Peanuts, Cracked Corn, and Capsicum Pepper. It's designed for suet log feeders specifically, a plug shape rather than a cake, so it's the right refill for someone who already owns that style. Because it contains capsicum pepper, it's worth handling with care when loading the feeder and washing hands afterward, since the pepper can irritate eyes or skin the way any hot pepper would.
