From the inimitable, the one and only Og, the Neanderpundit:
It’s probably not nice to paint Ben-gay on the feeder poles to keep the squirrels off them, but it’s a hoot watching them scrub their nuts on the grass afterwards.

Quote of the day
The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
Less than an hour ago I started an experiment with ghost pepper vodka on my feeder–initially just on the spill tray, but if it works, eventually on the whole feeder. So far the birds are ignoring it, as I expected. I hope I'm there the next time the squirrel comes…
LOL… made my day.
That one seriously needs a level 2 beverage alert attached.
video please!!
Oohhoo – I have a deck feeder waiting for a chemical upgrade! 🙂
Thanks!
