This past year has been a disaster in terms of getting fruit from my trees.
The gray squirrels get them first. Among the trees with decent numbers of
fruits were apples, peaches, fuyus, satsuma mandarins. The squirrels got
them all or almost all. We actually got to eat some figs and pineapple
guavas only because the produced so prodigiously. They left navel oranges
alone.

So how can these critters be controlled? Is there a poison bait particularly
effective against them?

Pellet gun and spagetti sauce works for me... ;-)
Seriously, it's much more humane for the animal and no
chance of poisoning anything else. If you can't stomach that
(no pun intended) then go with Have-a-heart traps and
relocate them, although that may be illegal in your area.

Honest. It's illegal where I live in NY to trap, transport
and release animals. But they're ok with me taking them out
with a trap or gun (depending on location).

If you can't beat 'em, they're not tied down properly.
