On this FB group I belong to one of the members made this terrible concoction to smear on their bird feeder pole to keep squirrels from getting a snack. It consisted of Bag Balm, Tabasco, cayenne, and some other goopy substance; the idea being that not only will the pole be too slippery for Mr. Squirrel to climb, but he will also get a nasty surprise when he tries to lick the goober off his paws.
I resisted the urge to reply with, "WTF??" but may go back and post it later.
Help me understand why you'd want to attract freaking birds that #### all over everything, yet deter comparatively harmless (and much tidier) squirrels? Why you'd expect to put out animal snacks in your yard, then get pissed when animals come eat it?
Is it just some weird control issue? Doing something willfully that will result in you being pissed off every. single. time. because you enjoy being pissed?
And why try to harm the squirrels when YOU'RE the one who put out tasty treats in the first place? FBDA went as far as to call the squirrels "thieves" for "stealing" food that they're apparently supposed to know isn't for them.
This is why I don't like people.
