Fig Trees Under Attack After Hurricane Helene

[goodnessatlanta]

After Hurricane Helene wind came through my area of Georgia suddenly an animal has been coming to eat any fig that starts ripening everyday, eating it through the organza bags. All I see is the organza bags on the ground with little or no fig in the bag. I don't know what animal is it.

Sorry to hear that. Half the problem is finding out what animal is causing the damage. Any way of you setting up a camera ? Do you have a trap ? Good luck

That's sort of what happened to me but it was before the storms, but it just started happening all of a sudden and they kept on stealing them till there was almost nothing left. 
You may need a hitman.

@"GoodFriendMike"#9 . I am very sorry to hear this news Mike. While it's more than likely a voracious squirrel, or thoughtless possum, it might even be a true fig affectionato, like a Raccoon who does not read. Many of them unfortunately are functionally illiterate. There's a big Raccoon literacy problem in Georgia. As @"ktrain"#2  will certainly attest to. The problem probably is that many Georgia Raccoons do not yet know that you guys are Moderators. And they are very hungry after this severe weather event. I myself will suggest a fanatic crowdfunding operation. I will open the doors of the bank of Figless. Generously donating an eyewatering ****** and perhaps some government cheese to bait it. If a program could be found.

@"Figless"#18 I feel sorry for anyone that has to go through this. As far as the raccoon problem. You know down south. People make some tasty dishes with them.   Not sure we can do a big funding operation here. But maybe we can help replace lost trees. Either by cutting or small rooted trees? And maybe we can continue talking about tasty figs to help take there minds off of what has happened. Even if it is for only a few minutes.
