Trim the branches of your peach tree away from fences, garages or other areas that give squirrels access to your tree. Hang bags of human or dog hair from the limbs of your tree. These predator scents help deter squirrels. Additionally, hang mothballs near large groups of peaches because the squirrels detest this smell.

The good news is there are various tactics you can utilize to protect your peach trees. Spray your homemade squirrel repellent such as hot pepper spray liberally and consistently. Scare the squirrels away from the trees with decoy predators, reflective objects, and decoration that makes noise and moves such as garden spinners.
