I've found mothballs to work better as a repellent than human hair or other
repellents for everything from gophers to deer.  Just hang 3-4 in a mesh (an
old nylon stocking or cheese cloth) in the tree.

NOTE:  Try to get the "old-fashioned" mothballs made from NAPTHALENE.  These
last about 10 times longer than the new ones made from PARADICHLOROBENZENE.
