What can I put near my bird feeders to keep squirrels away?
Is there something I can plant, or some other chemical I can put out near my bird feeders to keep squirrels away?We have a lot of squirrels around here, and I have had several bird feeders ruined by these long tailed monsters. I hate squirrels. Whenever I see one of those things run over in the road, I think, " good." The only reason why people don't treat them like rats is because of those long tails. Those tails are their PR. So, any suggestions? Plants or chemicals that are harmless to birds, but will frighten squirrels away?

Squirrels get in my wild bird feeders & eat the seeds, leaving the birds with nothing. I heard that putting cayenne in the feeders would stop the squirrels from eating the seeds. However, I need to know if this will hurt the birds before I try the cayenne. Thanks to anyone who can answer my question.
