You might want to find out if those critters are sensitive to capsicum. Just because you are doesn't mean the critters are.
We were having a problem with raccoons getting the suet we put out for our birds. Every night. We went to Wild Birds Unlimited and talked to them about it. They recommended getting hot pepper suet. They said birds don't detect the hot, but mammals hate it. We only had one more night of suet raiding, and the suet was left laying by the foot of the tree it was mounted on, with one bite out of it.
