I've been daydreaming about something like this for my squirrel problem. The damn things nearly leave me without nectarines unless I install a cumbersome, unsightly net over the tree.
- oblak 4y agoSquirrels eat nectarines/peaches? Maybe I should hit wikipedia more often and check out things that "everyone knows"
- t-3 4y agoSquirrels are just tree rats. They'll eat anything. I'm more sueprised that nets are effective than their choice of food.
- swayvil 4y agoCould one invest in hawks, owls or snakes?
- meristem 4y agoHawks and owls require multi-year effort in Falconry licensing (at least in the US). First 2 years under a sponsor--you can get a very specific hawk or falcon (which hawk or falcon is geographically dependent) After 2 years & sponsor approving it-- you are now a general falconer. Have fun with other raptors, including owls. OTOH.... Wild Owls: excellent pest control.
- michaelcampbell 4y agoNot sure this will work but for our birdseed we've had good luck with that super hot pepper oil. Less than a teaspoon of it in a (1/2 gallon?) sized container of birdseed, shaken for 30s-1m to get it distributed has kept the squirrels and raccoons off of it. Couple times and they don't even bother. Doesn't bother the birds, but mammal tongues light right up.

- kretaceous 4y agoI can't currently link to it but this reminded me of that Mark Rober series of videos about squirrels.
