now infuriating!

Can anyone suggest a low-cost deterrent which will not harm the
squirrels but would allow the other birds (Most of which seem to prefer
peanuts to wild bird seed) to feed on the peanuts?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Bill.

Dust the peanuts in chilli powder, the hotter the better. Sit back. Watch.
Have fun when the squirrel does a "YUK!" expression & runs off shaking its
head. You do have to keep up with regular dustings of chilli though.
