I have a great pear tree in my front yard that provides some of the
greatest, sweetest pears I've ever tasted. However, the squirrels have found
this out as well and in the past few years, have gotten to all of the pears
before I have. Any ideas on how I can prevent them from stealing my harvest?
There are plenty of other trees nearby, so preventing them from climbing the
trunk of the pear tree wouldn't help.


I have a peach tree. I harvested at least 10 bushels of peaches this year, and
that did not count the peaches with one bite out of it from the squirrels. If
you pear tree is producing so few fruits that a squirrel can compete with you,
maybe it's an idea to find out how to increase yields. There is no
compassionate way to keep wildlife out of the wild.
