Hi everyone, I keep having chipmunks get into my outdoor plants in my patio. Recently I had two pots broken and one plant on the ground. Any advice or tips on how to address the issue? Thank you!

    That sounds tough to deal with- sorry that’s happening for you. Maybe change your pots to big heavy pots. Less easy to tip with rascals climbing amount them. What plants do chipmunks not like? Plant those!

    From Google: “Chipmunks dislike strong odors and bitter tastes, so you can try planting these plants around your garden to deter them: Daffodils The bulb contains lycorine, a chemical that's toxic to chipmunks, and the plant emits an unpleasant aroma Alliums Plants like garlic and onions have a strong odor that repels chipmunks and other pests Marigolds You can also try sprinkling other deterrents around your plants, such as: cayenne pepper, apple cider, coffee grounds, cinnamon, and eucalyptus. Chipmunks are also sensitive to predator danger, so you can try spraying the ground around your plants with a mixture of peppermint oil or eucalyptus oil and water. You can also try walking your dog through chipmunk territory.”
