Hello guys,
I have been having problems with some birds and ants having their way with my figs and I throw them for my chikens because of that.
Then I took a tissue and wrapped my fig without any tape and it worked for the birds but didnt fool the ants. So I decided to seal the tissue with some electric tape (very cheap) and till now no ant problems...
Here is a picture with my largest fig in the attachments :)
Good luck fellas!

Very interesting, different, but if it works who's to knock, as long as it strong enough, great innovation and inexpensive, thumbs up.

Innovative! If you're in a 'rainy' area what about using clear plastic sandwich bags? The folding-top type (not ziplock) and then tape up the bottom as with the tissue. I've seen smaller 'snack-size' bags -perhaps better for figs- but only with the ziplock. Those bags are cheap BUT do they need to let the fruit "breathe"? If so, would poking holes through the bag with a pin be large enough an ant could still get in? I'm actually having ant issues in my house right now, but my current fig problem is SQUIRRELS :(
Good luck!

thanks guys for the nice comments,
About rain in the growing season, its rare, actually extremely rare in my area (it rains around us but not in our area).
@dcfromsocal, you can use some piece of cloth instead of the tissue if you worry it wont be durable in the rain. Some cotton cloth would work against ants I guess.

Yeah, but I do not know if they can stop our orange small ants, they are very very small.
