Have you succeeded in keeping chipmunks outta your veggie plants?

[i][c=BF0080]Please share what helped if anything!

I have absolutely had it. Last year I bought cayenne and citrus stick on things and they helped, but the little b*stards would still get in some plants. This year I loaded them with cayenne and the little sh*ts are digging holes EVERY day in my plants. I鈥檓 so tired of it 馃槨 I thought maybe something kinda sharp might help scare them away, so I broke large shish kabob sticks and dug them into those plants. Hopefully that helps. I don鈥檛 wanna use chemicals near my plants 馃槱

The holes are hard to see on the pics, they were much deeper than they appear and these are only some. [/c][/i]

Next year when prepping your garden, put a cage of fine mesh wire both under the dirt and above. It's the only way to keep them out, unless you have a scary moving fake owl you can put on a post. They are afraid of owls.

@4meAndyou [i][c=BF0080]I heard about the owl thing awhile ago, but wondered if it鈥檇 really work. I use pots on my patio, so it鈥檇 be hard to do that. But I did add chicken to my Amazon cart to try to put over the dirt.

Thank you 馃 [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 You have to find an owl decoy that actually moves some part of itself to startle the chipmunks. Most of them don't move, and the chipmunks figure it out...

@MellyMel22 They have to move. I've seen stationary ones at home depot...but maybe they've changed up the inventory...

@4meAndyou [i][c=BF0080]Thank you. I saw reviews on one that didn鈥檛 move saying the squirrels were jumping on it 馃槅[/c][/i]
