Six in nine days at the same location!

The damn things are becoming worse than the squirrel population around here.

Get a good cat. To them chipmunks are just a mouse with racing
stripes. Of course your bird population will suffer a bit also.



Snakes are a better option.


Shoot 'em. Shoot 'em all. Napalm their homes, flood their tunnels, Agent
Orange their habitat. After all, they're part of that dangerous crowd of
marauding mexican chipmunks. Kill all the birds, too, and the squirrels
and any wandering foxes. Dig up the group and get thos nasty earthworms.
Cut down your trees and pave over the grass. That'll teach those nasty
critters.

I wish I could buy a couple dozen foxes to let loose in the neighborhood.


Maybe that's why I don't see chipmunks around here...foxes! We have
foxes on patrol.

You need to fit your foxes with muzzles.
When we were living somewhere else I watched a red fox tree a cat.
He kept the cat at bay for quite a while until the cat decided to
come down the tree, swat the fox across the nose, and run off.
The fox stood there dumbfounded for a while then left the yard.
The same day we were visited by a herd of deer and later, before
sunset, about 20 turkeys wandered into the yard and hung out till
dusk when they flew up into trees to spend the night.




We have...foxes, raccoons, rabbits, hawks, deer, groundhogs, geese, an
occasional field mouse*, little lizards, cardinals, bluebirds, snakes,
and possibly bears. My wife saw a "large mammal" shaking a tree while it
climbed it and it "definitely was not a cat or dog."



* About once a year, a little mouse finds its way into the house...and
one of my cats plays with it for a while and unless we catch the mouse
and release it outside, the cat rips it to shreds.
