This summer the squirrel population has multiplied due to the mild winter
we've had in the Northeast. Squirrels stripped all the Asian pears of two
trees, chewed up all the Apricot early this summer, and did not leave any
peaches on my tree. They are even attacking my pawpaw, Persimmon and the
jujubes.
So I used a trap recommended by a friend called Kania trap. It is very
effective and the neat thing is you can hang it on a tree, or place on the
ground. Within hrs of setting it up I caught a squirrel. It is very pricey,
but it does work.
