UK gardeners are urged to use chilli flakes in bird feed to deter grey squirrels without harming birds.
Gardeners in the UK are being advised to add chilli flakes to bird feed this autumn to deter grey squirrels, which steal food and threaten bird nests.
The spice is harmless to birds but unpleasant to squirrels due to capsaicin sensitivity.
This simple, humane method helps ensure birds, including migrants and residents, get the nutrition they need during a critical season when natural food is scarce.
Conservation groups support the practice, noting its role in reducing the impact of invasive grey squirrels on native wildlife, including red squirrels.
