Never Melt Technology Advantage:
Pine Tree Farms' Never Melt formula represents decades of research and refinement. This isn't basic no-melt—it's advanced binding technology that creates suet capable of withstanding extreme conditions. The formula maintains perfect consistency in desert heat, stays solid through temperature swings, never drips or creates mess, and provides year-round reliability you can count on.
How Hot Pepper Protection Works:
Capsaicin, the compound that makes peppers hot, triggers pain receptors exclusively in mammals. Birds completely lack these receptors and experience no discomfort whatsoever. When squirrels bite hot pepper suet, they encounter an unpleasant burning sensation and quickly learn avoidance. It's humane, effective, and backed by science—protecting your investment without harming any wildlife.
13 Oz Size Advantage:
The larger 13 oz size provides meaningful benefits over standard cakes. Extended feeding means fewer trips to refill, better value per ounce, longer-lasting squirrel protection, and reduced maintenance. For serious bird feeders, this size represents the sweet spot between convenience and performance.
Seasonal Benefits:
Summer: Never Melt technology excels in extreme heat where other suets fail, squirrels highly active but consistently deterred, supports breeding birds through multiple nesting cycles
Fall: Fuels migration without feeding squirrels, maintains solid form through temperature fluctuations, helps birds build reserves for winter
Winter: Provides critical high-energy nutrition, squirrels deterred even when desperate for food, stays firm in freezing temperatures
Spring: Supports returning migrants and breeding season, deters squirrels during peak activity period, reliable performance as temperatures rise
How to Use:
- Remove Never Melt Hot Pepper suet from wrapper
- Place in standard suet cage feeder or suet log
- Hang 5-6 feet off ground near trees or shrubs
- Watch birds enjoy while squirrels avoid
- Replace when consumed (typically lasts longer due to larger size)
Expected Squirrel Deterrence:
Initial Days: Squirrels may test the suet out of habit
After First Taste: Most squirrels immediately avoid feeder
Within One Week: Squirrels consistently leave feeder alone
Long-Term: Sustained 90%+ reduction in squirrel problems
Birds: Feed normally from day one with zero heat sensation
Cost-Effective Protection:
Squirrels can devastate bird food budgets, consuming pounds weekly. The 13 oz Never Melt Hot Pepper cake protects your investment through dual action—hot pepper deterrence keeps squirrels away, while the larger size means less frequent replacement. Combined savings include reduced food waste, fewer refill trips, lower overall feeding costs, and less feeder damage.
Complete Squirrel Management:
For maximum effectiveness, combine Never Melt Hot Pepper with:
- Hot pepper seed blends in other feeders
- Squirrel baffles on poles and hangers
- Strategic feeder placement away from jumping points
- Proper height (5-6 feet minimum)
Safety & Handling:
Hot pepper suet is completely safe for all wildlife—it deters through temporary discomfort without causing harm. Handle with care: wash hands thoroughly after touching, avoid touching eyes or face during handling, keep away from pets who might try to consume, and store securely away from children.
Storage:
Store unused cakes in a cool, dry place in original wrapper until ready to use. The Never Melt formula maintains effectiveness for 12+ months when properly stored. Keep sealed to preserve pepper potency and product quality.
