I use hot pepper seed and suet exclusively. (Hulled sunflower seeds). They work great. There are some roof rats around due to neighbors abundant seeds on ground - but we have a resident great-horned and barred pair that take advantage of that. Plus to hear the GHOW at night is incredible.
The only downside (and this happens more than you would think) the suet crumbles sometimes blow off when snapping the cage shut and find their way to my eyeballs. Same with filling the feeders; the spicy dust blows around. Also, mind your fingers after. Recommend a good hand washing after handling any amount of either.
