We have grapes on Eastern Long Island, New York. When viewing our pinot gris row, I noticed some holes in our nets and 30% of the fruit eaten. Our consultant said it wasn;t birds because they leave nothing behind and we noticed grapes on the ground. So he thinks its raccoons but I think the raccoons would have torn up everything. I think it's squirrels. None of our other varieties have been touched - yet.
We had our first crop in 2010 - no problems at all. Last year we lost all of our fruit to birds. This year we put up a new netting system and it seems we are losing.
Has anyone had any problems with squirrels or raccoons? Any idea how to get rid of them? Raccoons we can trap but what about squirrels?
