Chipmunks are eating all my vegetables!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Last year I had pots with tomato plants in and a little garden bed with tomatoes and other veg.  The chipmunks were attacking my tomato pots, they took a lot of the unripened fruit and ate one bite then discarded on the patio. This year they have stripped one blueberry plant and 2 tomato plants already.  I am despairing.  All my rainwater harvesting and careful watering seems pointless if I'm not going to even SEE the fruit.  None of the fruit was even near ripe - they will eat anything it seems.

 

Any tips on keeping them away or getting rid of them? They are burrowing all over my yard and up into the vegetable garden so fencing is pointless.  I live in the suburbs on only a quarter of an acre, so not countryside or anything where you might expect this sort of wildlife!

I have a dog, but they don't seem to care, they will run right in front of her.  Everyone I know has indoor-only cats...
