A similar problem was voiced on PestNet some years ago, but perhaps for a different crop. Not all the suggestions were practical ...........

An air rifle which only stings but does not do damage, normally does the trick.  If one or other monkey gets a sting, they associate the "phut" sound of the air rifle with danger, and the mere firing of a blank in the air, sends them scurrying.
I hope it helps.

Dear Dr. David, I heard that if you make a statue of a tiger and arrange to produce recorded sounds of tiger at intervals , it can scare away monkeys. This is to be tested Thanks RV Nair --- On Fri, 17/9/10, David Lobo <davi...@gmail.com> wrote:
