Have you succeeded in keeping chipmunks outta your veggie plants?
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’m so tired of it 😡 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’t wanna use chemicals near my plants 😩
The holes are hard to see on the pics, they were much deeper than they appear and these are only some.
The sticks..

use a live trap and rehome them or try : Peppermint Oil Spray or peppermint essential oils and mix your own. good for bugs too but dont cheap out get the good stuff
@MellyMel22 well depending on how far you wish to go...
1. if you find the hole you can stuff some balled up paper towels or old rag down in it then you pour a half to one full gallon of ammonia down and put a shovel full of dirt on it.......
2." Sometimes called, “gopher bombs,” pest control smoke bombs are simply a cartridge made up of ingredients such as sodium or potassium nitrate, sulfur, carbon and other ingredients. Upon the fuse being ignited, toxic sulfur oxides are produced, suffocating pests in their burrows."
3. smoke bombs for fireworks also work but get the bigger long lasting ones and same deal down the hole and cover it up.
@NightsWatchThanks so much! My major prob is on my patio. They go in my potted veggie plants and tear them apart. They love aloe plants too for some reason. I stuffed a hole they use through concrete in from with mulch and it’s held up somehow.
@NightsWatchI was gonna try to put it on top of the dirt? That’s usually the only prob I have is with the dirt. I think it’d be hard to cover around each pot with such little space though.
