Does netting really stop squirrels? It seems to me
that they would just chew thru it. I'm thinking of
taking out my peach trees because the squirrels
like their peaches much greener than I do. They
nibble a bit, then drop the peach to the ground
for the bunnies.

The netting I've been using for the last few seasons has stopped
my fence rats and gray squirrels cold from harvesting my navel,
mandarin, and Satsuma oranges; it's also kept the Walkers away
from my nectarine and Hachiya. My neighbor uses it to keep the
vermin (rodent and human) away from his apple and lemon.

Netting is like an alarm system: Determined crooks'll get past it
but the object is to send them off to an easier target (like the
neighbor's.) Yes, a smart animal can chew through the net but more
likely they'll simply leave it alone for an easier target.
