This be the first summer contained by my trial place and I have a fig tree full pf fruit but the bird and squirls bet me? Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again...
Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again nest year?
Answers: Depending on the size of your fig tree, you could cover it near something like netting, as well as lifeless some mobiles or deterrent products that move in the breeze, make rumbling or cause sunlight reflections, that would deter animals and alarm them away. Something like a 3/4Ħħ netting would prevent most birds, including house sparrows, from being competent to get to the fruit.
There's an example of a light reflecting video here: http://www.amazon.com/Dalen-4-Inch-100-F... http://www.bird-x.com/irritape-p-15.html Otherwise, hang some tin foil, as this will have a similar effect.
Squirrels will also be deterred by such movement, and you can make the addition of sprays etc that they don't like the smell of, to keep them rotten your fig tree. Ensure you get a product that is non-toxic. There's an example here, but if you look around you will find a ton of products that deter squirrels. Aim to train them away from your garden long up to that time your fig tree ripens its fruit. http://www.gardeners.com/Squirrel%20+%20...
If you have a cat, this will deter these animals too.
Hope this help. Good luck! Rob
