Please allow me to introduce myself, I work @ Neptune’s Harvest, We are an organic fish fertilizer company in Gloucester, MA. Anyway, I noticed you where a little concerned about chipmunks getting into your garden thru the chi fence and thought I would offer a suggestion. One way to rid them is to sprinkle crabshell as a top dressing around the plant itself, (about 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 inches should do it), you will find that they won’t be around the plants again. Chipmunks and other critters alike do not like the way it feels on their paws when they start crawling on it, so as a result they stay away! I have a lot of positive feedback from customers who have already tried this. Hope I was able to help. Good Luck - Maribeth p.s.: Crabshell comes in 12/lb pails and 50/lb bags. Crabshell is really nothing more than crushed up crabshell. Hi Julie:
