I've got about 15 apple trees & peach trees and last summer I lost everything toJerry,
squirrels who would eat about 1/2 a fruit & then drop it. It is next to a woods,
so they can jump onto the trees. I have a fence around the whole orchard, topped with
an electric fence which I bait with peanut butter to keep deer out, and that works.
But the squirrels are driving me crazy. Is there anything like plastic snakes, owls,
etc I could put in the trees? Or any other ideas? Jerry in southern Indiana

Setting out two Havaheart
traps over the course of a season netted me about 30 the first
year. That went down
appreciably to almost none, at this time. True, squirrels are
territorial and do migrate
back into an area once it is vacated, but that has not been my
experience.
