It happens every year, the nuts on Gramma’s trees and the fruit in our are little orchard are growing beautifully. They get just about ripe, and suddenly BAM! they’re gone. Where have they gone, they’re taken by the squirrels of course. Between ourselves and Gramma, we’ve tried almost every deterring technique known to man, save one: Plastic Bags. Believe it or not, this simple solution works better than all the rest.

Just tie a few plastic bags to the trees with fruit or nut and allow them to blow in the wind. The presence of the bags (and probably the noise as well) does wonders to keep the squirrels away, which means we’ll actually be able to enjoy the fruit of the trees we worked so hard to take care of. And so as not to deprive the squirrels of everything, we have a bunch of butternut and walnut trees in our yard that they’re welcome to.
