Not anymore. My lax attitude around a bird feeder in our yard opened the floodgates and now they are everywhere. It's similar to the Southern border where the immigrants are sneaking through every available hole. I say enough is enough concerning all of them -- immigrants included!
This is not coming out of the blue. My friend Michael told me months ago that they were bad news when I saw him stationed at his kitchen window with a slingshot and a box of BBs. I asked what he was doing and he said, "Killing the little bastards!" I thought that was extreme and begged him, tearfully I might add, to stop. Now I'm begging him to come over and do his dirty work at my house. Alas, he is leaving town for awhile and this can't wait.
A professional landscaper friend suggested fox pee. Yes, you heard me. I already ordered some, pre-packaged for use. (Thank goodness I don't have to get it directly from the source.)
We've illuminated over 300 chipmunks in 3 years because our neighbor was actually attracting them to her feeders. Get a small have a heart trap, you don't have to put anything into it, seriously, just set it up and they will get in. My partner was drowning them but now he's been releasing them over 5 miles from out house. We have a chipmunk highway in our yard.
ReplyDeletewe have dozens and dozens of them! I would spend all my time doing that!
