The Environment Envir. Garden pests Ask any kid what squirrels and chipmunks eat during the fall and they ll immediately and firmly tell you acorns. I have long suspected our schools are out to lunch, but this takes the cake.
Any gardener knows that's a bunch of hooey.
Those critters don't eat acorns. You're not alone. Squirrels come under so much fire from the bird feeder folks I decided to concentrate on the lousy chipmunks. I figured smart gardeners all over the Internet would have solved the bulb swiping problem and shared their great and clever tales of smashing success. Well, not quite.
