I use a .22 but with the trees leafed out, they're very hard to see. They can sure ruin a lot of peaches.

Shoot em, or trap em and eat em, or let somebody that can shoot em or trap em and eat em do so.

If you mean in the orchard wrap the tree trunks with tin so they can't climb the trees. If you mean in the cellar take away their jar opener.

I have a dozen fruit trees next to some larger shade trees. They jump from tree to tree so putting metal on them is useless.

I have some 110's out right now for the varmint bushytails around the house. Figured another spot that needs one, but I'm gonna have to make some kind of bracket to hold it on top of a pipe where they run.
Just me- I look at it like what varmints eat or dig up or mess on or otherwise ruin for consumption might be a bite of food that's needed by me or loved ones. Varmints that take it away from me by whatever they do get no mercy, and I don't give them another opportunity to ruin things for me or neighbors

Perhaps Peaches could just keep her legs together.

Some time back I had an issue with squill getting in the bird feeder. I put a slinky spring on the post, sat back and laughed my ass off. Dunno how that would work with trees, but it's a thought to puzzle a bit.
I am..........disturbed.

Get you a big old tomcat, and tie it to the peach trees.

I haven’t read all the replies yet but has anyone mentioned napalm?…..😀
Plant almonds and peanuts instead of peaches and you’ll never have problems with squirrels in your peaches again.

Depending on where the squirrels are located, they may be classed as game animals, so shooting or trapping them out of season might get you in trouble with the COs.
In Nebraska, they are considered game animals. I know this because I borrowed a Have A Heart live trap from the local CO and each time that I caught one he had to come and relocate it, as a civilian was only allowed to move a trapped game animal 100 yards or so. I don't know where he took them, but they never came back. If I'd had a big enough water container he would never have needed to relocate a live one, as I would never have had any success in catching them, at least as far as he'd know.
