Maybe they read about the peanut butter that was tainted with salmonella. Sorry, couldn't pass up on that. I wonder if leaving some peanuts along the fence top or some other area would get them to give them a try and acquire a taste for them and then go looking for more. Otherwise, I guess you've got to find something else that they would find more attractive than the banana plants they're eating.

How do the squirrels get into the banana plants? Do they climb up them from the ground? If so, you can use some sheet metal flashing like I've seen used on palm trees in Hawaii and elsewhere. If they run along fence tops maybe the trap needs to go along the top of the fence. Maybe mix some cyanide with peanut butter and past strips of it on top of the fence. Just some ideas that come to mind.

Good luck,

Harvey
