Maybe It Isn't Squirrels But Gladys Kravitz

[Nyboy]

Both peach and pear trees have been stripped of fruit. I just assumed it was squirrels. My fig trees are loaded with figs this year. I gave the noisy old lady I call Gladys permission to pick figs. Now I am wondering if she took that as permission to pick any fruit in my yard. I am sure her broom can fly her over any fence I put up. Any one know of old lady repellent?

Scatter a few crotchety old men around...that oughta do it. Call Bob.

You might try hanging rubber snakes in the trees. Snakes are a pretty good old lady repellant.

Great ideas ladies

Beekissed has the right idea. Making her want to stay away trumps harming her for harvesting.

Not all little old ladies are "afeared of snakes". Granny Clampet

OMG! Not mine either! I was referring to electrically charged tree as per Thistlebloom's suggestion. I would never have considered shooting the old dear much less burying her under the orchard as fertilizer. Shame, shame, Nyboy. I thought you might know me better than that.
