Inspect the tree carefully.
Do you see any other evidence of insects or bugs?
Chewed leaves?
If so you could use a insecticidal soap or Neem Oil.
I have heard that squirrels will nibble on peaches. Do you have those critters in your garden?
I have garden friends who actually place Squirrel feeders near the trees to encourage them to stay off of the fruit trees,
This would be a more difficult task to control.
Birds also will eat your peaches.
Here are a few links.
