I've never come accross this before.

we have 2 apple trees and 2 pear trees and every year when they fruit we get rats either climbing the trees and eating the fruit, or eating the fruit on the ground that's fallen.
the trees fruiting nearly always coincides with the farmer harvesting his crops in the field next to us which i think worsens the problem.
It's nothing air rifles don't solve though, i don't using like poison
