How can I keep Squirrels from eating my peaches?

Hello ldeelz; I have the same issue!!! What I have personally tried is to use one of those plastic owls, that you hang from a branch.

Also, I have covered the tree in a lightweight netting, which has restricted them, somewhat!!!

I have picked the peaches before they are ripe, and I let them ripen on the counter.

I hope that this helps you!!! Take Care!

WELL WHAT WOULD THEY EAT IF THEY DIDNT HAVE PEACHES?I THINK THE SQUIRRELS ARE VERY CUTE BUT PEST.THEY WILL TACKEL ANY THING NO MATTER HOW BIG.THEY STOLE MY NEICES SUNDAY NEWS PAPER.TOOK 2 OF THEM ONE TO PUSH &ONE TO PULL.PUIT IT IN THEIR DEN.AS IT TURNED OUT THEY WERE EXPECTING. NEED A BED.IAM SORRY I KNOW THIS DOESNT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP LAUGHING &ENJOY THE SITES WE SEE SOMETIMES.GOOD LUCK.

Tis may not help you, but my neighbor and I just let them eat the birdseed and we put out roasted but unsalted peanuts for them. They get so stuffed from the peanuts, they leave most of our fruit and veggies alone for the most part. They do get some stuff but not as much.

They eat our pears also. If you have a dog, this mat scare them away. We have a squirrel chasing fur baby. If she is out, the squirrels stay away.

• i didnt nwant people to think i thought you shouldnt be upset because they were eating peaches.maybe you could put out a pan of food maybe they wouldnt want peaches then. at least not till snack time.i have a dog that would pass up steak for greenbeans,red bell pepper&black olives.aqnyway i know how it feels either way.we have raccoons.they are real good at making messes.hope you got some ideas that will help.mary abilene
