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!

Do you want to kill them or keep them alive

#### Karol S antwortete am 2024-07-28

I don’t want to cause any harm to them

So you can get live traps and put corn or something in it and let them go a mile away or you could get chipmunk repellent

Well the one in the red hat is more energetic. The one with the blue shirt and glasses is the more sensible. And the Chubby one is innocent but a little naive.

I would probably try to talk to the one in blue, but if that doesn’t work you could call their dad Dave.

You can put plastic forks in tide the plant pot so it would stop them from killing it

A cat 🐈😅 sorry, I’m no help. Currently at war with squirrels. They are winning

Same here 😔

You could put chilli powder on top of the soil? They might not go for it if it’s spicy and it shouldn’t hurt the plant

I heard that about cinnamon. I’m yet to try it
