Keeping Squirrels off of Fruit Trees

Keeping squirrels from harvesting your apples and pears. Puncture a hole in a few aluminum pie plates, tie them singly with twine to the lower branches of your fruit trees. The clanging will scare them away.

Keeping Squirrels off of Fruit Trees

Here is a recipe called Squirrel Beaters Tonic

  • 2 Tbsp. of cayenne pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. of tabasco sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. of chilli pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. of Murphy Oil Soap
  • 1 quart of warm water
Mix all together and pour in a hand sprayer and spray all over fruit. Hope it works for you. I have not tried it yet but plan to.

I tried the recipe, but the pepper keeps stopping up my spray bottle. So I ended up just sprinkling the Cayenne pepper over my strawberries. We will see...

I made the solution and it was sticking on the screen in my spray bottle (type of bottle that sprays fertilizer) so I removed it and it worked fine. In addition I made a bunch more and threw it directly on my apricot tree.

I will let you know how it goes. This is my first year in a few years with fruit on my tree and the squirrels are chewing thru my tree net and having a feast :(
