This is a rarely seen NH snowbird squirrel now residing in South Florida.

Anyone know how to keep chipmumks out of the strawberries?.....I've tried moth crystals and dish soap......but they laugh at me as well as my lazy coon cats. Wouldn't mind sharing a few, but they take one or two bits out of half the crop.

If you keep a plastic grocery bag handy, just shake it noisily between both hands it few times. It makes a sound like some predator running fast through leafy woods, and scatters ALL the squirrels and chipmunks. The clever critters are fast learners, though, and I suspect they "catch on" after a few attempts.

That said, chipmunks will do some good by snacking on the grasshoppers in your garden patch from time to time.

The odd part of their grasshopper-protein binge, is that they'll leave the grasshopper "drumsticks" behind.
