Does it help keep squirrels out of apple trees or fig trees?

It hasn't kept anything out of anywhere for me. I wouldn't waste the money on it. I bought mine to try and keep ducks out of my swimming pool and I think they laugh at it. The Squirrels just run right by it. Maybe my squirrels are not smart enough to know what it is?

Don't waste your money. It is only a piece of tin with a decal on one side and a bell that hangs on the bottom. OK for an ornament otherwise of little value.

I doubt it, it's a flat piece of tin with an owl painted on one side. It didn't scare off the redbird that fought with himself in our car mirrors.

I think it would be effective on squirrels, but we also have many birds at our bird feeder and we don't want to disturb the birds. Both eat in the daytime. We have caught squirrels in a live trap and moved them to another wooded place. We make bait with peanut butter smeared on a piece of thick paper and press sunflower seeds into the peanut butter. We call it "Annie bait" because our 8-year old granddaughter, Annie, came up with the idea. Take the squirrels away at least 3 miles or they may return.

This is basically effective--but... Some fruit will be next to the netting and may get eaten anyway, 2) it is really hard to remove from the tree later on, and 3) I removed mine after I found it had trapped and killed a hummingbird--and I like hummingbirds in my garden! There are these big yellow beach ball with huge black eyers that come with reflective mylar 'pupils' you attach. The birds do not like them, nor do they like tinsel or small mirrors hanging from your tree. Good luck!

I have tons of chipmunks and they cannot get into it. I have it hanging on an iron hook attached to an oak tree that hangs 16 inches away from the tree. The feeder faces out, the back faces the tree. They have tried to get in by walking across the horizontal part of the hook but they just slip off the roof of the feeder when trying to get to the seed openings. As do the squirrels! It really keeps them all out.

I don't know about birds, it did keep the deer from feeding on the tree bark.Deb

The sparrows are the largest ones that can get in to it. Mostly chickadees and it will keep out the squirrels. They tried and finally gave up.

Since I actually feed my squirrels I wouldn't know. It hasn't helped on the voles either! I'm trying to drown them now. But what seems to work is aromatic plants like garlic, thyme, rosemary, etc. try feeding your squirrels outside the area you want them away from.

Cut up apples seems to work best. I think the squirrels can smell the apples better when they are freshly cut in pieces. I got 12 squirrels at one time in the trap by just useing the apples.

It will keep them directly off the area you attach them to like eves and pitches of your roof ...you might block a path into your home but best to fix the entrance ...or an area they jump from a tree to the roof but they are not much af a deterrent to just keep them off ...you could also put them on the tree or along the top of a fence tp block a path to your house ...but squirrels are smarter than birds if they are in your home try fox urine crystals in a stocking they hate that and they will move on ... you can put that in the crook of a tree or in the attic or hanging from a string

I do not have a chipmunk problem but hopefully it would deter them as well as it does for squirrels. I'm impressed at how well this works with squirrels.

Absolutely, this keeps deer out of our yard. Be careful with neighbors pets or your own petsThis works greatCrank it up on settings initially and use A/C power cord It will keep squirrels away from feeder as well

i'm not positive- the container says "deer, rabbits, and tree squirrels that feed on flowers, plants, shrubs, bulbs, trees, and seedlings". i bought this to keep rabbits away; i can say, however, that we have absolutely neither squirrels nor chipmunks in our yard.

I am not sure, I use it to keep bears away from my bees. However, the bears seem to go where they want to go!

This product works well for birds, not so well for squirrels. I double it up and make sure the edges are secure and it might keep squirrels away. They are usually looking for a source of water. Thats why they just bite into tomatoes and not eat them .. Try putting a water source or even a food source ( their own tomato plant, or cracked corn) away from your desirable plants.

I use mine to keep the moles away so I havev't been paying attention to the squirrels. If I had to venture a guess I would guess that it would work on ground squirrels, but not on tree squirrels.

I bought it to keep squirrels away from my tomatoes. They kept away for a few days but that was it even though I refreshed the scent.

I don't know, but I would not use it for that purpose. I use the tree guards during the winter to avoid having rodents eat the bark and girdle the tree under snow cover.
