The pepper flakes didn't stop the squirrels but it sure made them jump and run about.
Pepper flakes may not infuse (watching way too many cooking shows) with enough spice; I'm thinking the finer ground cayenne and chili powder are doing the trick. I skipped the hot sauce on the latest batch and the squirrels are still giving it a wide berth while the birds feast.

Thanks for the recipe! Forwarding to the wife! :-)
The wife got tired of me depleting her spice rack so I grabbed a bottle of sriracha hot chili sauce and squirted some in the mixture. Squirrels don't seem to have the stomach for it; birds don't seem to care. The sriracha is cheap and it only takes a little bit, so I think I've got a leg up on the rodents for the time being.

Scott
