Letter: Monkey business

I am desperate now as I am plagued by them on walls and trees in the property, to the extent that I feel I should never have fruit trees again.

Lydia Whitting of Ballito writes: I am trying to discourage monkeys, not encourage them, as I have dogs.

They challenge the dogs and myself almost daily now. Splashing water works, and stones in a tin can works if I shake it.

I’ve been wondering if a dog whistle will deter monkeys as well? Worth a try if it’s not going to upset my dogs’ ears too.

My window catches all have an extra hole drilled, so gap openings are very narrow.

Also bricks on top of bin lids.

I would appreciate other suggestions. I am desperate now as I am plagued by them on walls and trees in the property, to the extent that I feel I should never have fruit trees again.
