i just found this on yahoo answers so take it for what it is:






Make a Monkey trap. Make a box the size of a large shoe box and chain it to a tree or post, cut a hole in the top and sides just big enough to put some hard fruit it in, when the monkeys come around they will reach in and grab the fruit but because the hole is just big enough for the fruit and not their fruit and hand then they will be trapped, mainly because of their greed and these are the ones you need to get rid of, be sure to have a net on hand to cover the thing and take it some where and sell it.

The Lion Manure might work at least for a while.

The problem is that man has encroached on so much of the monkeys natural territory, that they have taken to visiting the areas where men are to feed.

Protecting your crops from the monkeys by using cages to keep the animals out is about the only way to solve the problem without actually doing harm to the monkeys. It is either that, or expect to loose a certain percentage of your crop each season to the local wildlife.

wow, how many lame people are there??

I never read where you grow or even have any bananas, just fruit. So what ever these people are talken about must know you better than I can from reading your question.

I assume your either in AUS or AFR.

One way to keep them out of fruit may be to coat the fruit with some kind of pepper? THe fruit maybe ruined bit if they are going to eat or demolish it anyway you havent lost anything. I know there are some potent peppers. I believe that Once the monkeys smell the pepper and find your fruit has the pepper on it then all you have to do is put it on the leaves of the trees and they will not bother it as the smell will deture them.
MAybe if you have a sprayer of somekind and can get pepper liquid consentrate to mix with water and spray up in the trees, Im just guessing the trees is where your fruit grows, the monkeys wont be able to stand that and will drop your farm off their grocery list.
I dont know if this helps but I'd sure like to know more about you and your farm. I have cattel and goats here in the states and have a whole different set of problems to deal with.

Keep in touch, Id like to know if you do this or something else that works.

I have used pepper sprAY to run squirrls out of attics and the little rescals didnt take long to leave either.
