squirrels (?) and tomatoes, AGAIN

17 years ago

OK, sorry to flog this old horse, but I am about to have a nervous breakdown over the tomatoes this year.

Some FR%*&$ng thing is taking bites out of EVERYTHING it can reach this year. I've tried

Shake Away, tried the nastiest homemade pepper spray I can concoct, and they're still biting every damn fruit, especially the German organics I've been waiting for. I am at the point of lining the entire tomato bed with mouse/rat traps.

1. Does this even work? If I kill a few won't more just move in?

2. Am thinking about putting paper bags around tomatoes still on the plant. Would THIS work, or just cause the little ones to ripen prematurely?

3. could it be rabbits? Would mouse/rat traps work on them?

4. Hubby is worried about catching cats. Likely?
