Hi,

Just protect trunks with hardware cloth or aluminum screening.

Rodents are opportunists.  Give them a choice between easy feeding and a  
barrier, and they choose easy feeding.

Buy or adopt a grey cat.  They are supposed to be good hunters.  That is  
why farmers keep "barn cats".  They are not pets.

Tom

PS: Do not feed the cat too much.  You want a hungry hunter, not fat cat.
