Squirrels

Bands, Artificial Snakes and Noise

Squirrels may be excluded from trees by encircling the trees with 2-foot-wide bands of metal located six to eight feet above the ground. A 10-foot clearance should be maintained between trees to prevent them from jumping from tree to tree. In individual trees, squirrels may be repelled by locating artificial snakes along their travel routes. In orchards, the exploding-type noise devices used to repel birds should also help to repel squirrels, providing that squirrels are being shot throughout the orchard.
