I live trap (havahart traps) squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks on our
property due to the damage they cause.

What sort of damage is caused by squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks?

CHIPMUNKS???


Around here, chipmunks do a lot of damage to patios and sidewalks.

Little *******s.

You realize, of course, that without describing the materials in
question,
your statement is meaningless. I mean...in most parts of the universe,
"sidewalk" means cement. How do chipmunks damage cement?


They dig under the concrete and the walks, patios collapse a bit and
crack.
I'm surprised you don't have this problem where you are.

Sharpen your spade. Slip it straight down along the sidewalk, thereby making
a slot, as if you were edging a garden bed. Insert 1/4" galvanized hardware
cloth (the metal mesh with little square holesS). Ba da bing - end of
problem. The so-called hardware cloth lasts about 10 years underground.
