Do fruit protection bags actually work?

Do fruit protection bags actually work?

Yes - I thought at first the squirrels and chipmunks would rip it to shreds - but they're mostly working.
Some of the bags, the rodents did chew the fruit stems and then they dropped the bags.
I guess the bags were too heavy for them.
I bought the bags from Amazon last year.
The bags also stops wasps from eating the fruit.
It's time consuming - but at least I get some fruit.
