Identifying Citrus and Bougainvillea Pests: Rats, Squirrels, or Mice?

Clues from Damage

Neatly peeled lemons left uneaten point to rats. Squirrels typically take whole fruit. Mice are unlikely to cause such damage. Beagles may not deter rats, which are adept climbers.

Confirm by Tooth Marks

Rodents leave clean, chisel‑like bites; raccoons/opossums leave ragged tears. Examine the fruit and branches to match the pattern.
