Hubby puts netting over our wild blackberry bushes. We also hung wren’s houses all around the fruit areas.

Wrens like to eat bugs, not berries, and they are territorial, so they chase of the birds that would like to feast on the berries.

Also old computer disks and aluminum pie pans strung up so that they move in the wind will help scare them away.

Oh, I used netting, but the squirrels just laughed at me.

Thanks for the info about wrens. I will definitely try that.

What do I do about the squirrels, though?
