My experience has differed. The only thing that I've found based on
grain and seeds that a squirrel won't mess with more than once is bird
feed treated with capsaicin. My housemate keeps a stock on hand to train
each succeeding generation of tree rats to stay away from the bird
feeders. One trip to the feathered friends dinner table when the hot
menu is featured ends the raids. Doesn't bother the feathered rats at
all.

I s'pose you are right in a politically correct vein. I (perhaps
wrongly) gave the readers of this echo credit for the native smarts not
to cook and eat something that they know is poisoned. Have to watch that
in future or the food kops will kick down my door.   <GGG>
 
ENJOY!!!
