Protecting Fruit and Tomatoes from Squirrels

Squirrels are intelligent and persistent. The only reliable solution is population reduction via trapping.

Trapping Protocol

• Use cage traps baited with peanut butter and sunflower seeds behind the trigger.
• Set in morning; cover trap with towel after capture.
• Relocate at least 2 miles (with landowner permission).
• Repeat until pressure eases; remaining squirrels have more natural food.

For tomatoes, trap the specific culprits. An aggressive pet helps too.
