What is eating my figs?

Question

My fig tree is being attacked by something strange, little teeth marks have been found in them and they chew half and leave me the rest. Is it Bats, Brats or Birds? How do I stop them?

Answer 1

I don't know where you live, but it's probably squirrels. They seem to like tasting our figs as well (in Massachusetts, near Boston), but are not interested enough to eat the entire fruit.

Fruit bats only like warm weather. Brats tend to pull the fruit OFF the tree before tasting and dropping the fruit. Dunno about rats.

You can, however, try picking your figs early and ripening them on a warm windowsill.

Answer 2

Well birds do not have teeth, brats do not climb trees to eat unripe fruit, so bats or squirrels or rats seem the most reasonable for a cause.

If they figs are ripe pick them ASAP. If you have only a few try putting baggies over them with tape or rubber bands.

Answer 3

See what happens when a person has not the truth of the Word in them. They make up things that suit themselves. Beware of people like this one. A twist here and there and the truth is hidden from you. Study to show yourself approved. God made the fig tree for fruit to eat and enjoy. What does this fig tree represent that God is trying to tell us. There is a male tree and a female tree. You cannot eat the male fruit for it is only for the fertilization of the female fruit. This tree is the Kenites, the sons of Cain. Jesus want us to learn the parable of the fig tree. Go to the Book of Jeremiah and read it for yourself. Don't let non Christians lead you into Satan's Camp.><>

maybe leaf cutter ants or just ants, birds eat them
wrap some fishing line in the branches with rubberbans on it,this will trap the birds then you can toss them to your cat
