I used to think they were cute and amusing to watch. Now I'm having evil thoughts as I consider ways to get back at them for all the things they are destroying in my yard! I planted 200+ bulbs last fall. Just the other day, I noticed little holes everywhere! Upon closer inspection, I realized the brats had dug up EVERY bulb and eaten them all!! (They seem to enjoy crocuses the best.) They tunnel through my garden beds and tunnel behind the liner of my waterfall.

Is there anything I can do to cut down on the number of chipmunks that make my yard their home and personal playground? I definitely have more than I had last year - they seem to love all the rock walls and the stream. I don't want to kill them - most likely new ones would just take their place anyway. Anyone have ideas??
