The chipmunks have destroyed two years'
worth of strawberry crops and frankly, I was hoping to get to eat a berry
or two this year!

Try finding some objects that are roughly the same colour and size as
strawberries, but made of porcelain or china or something like that. Place them
in and around your plants. There is a good chance the beasties will try these
and discover them inedible and later ignore the real berries.

One berry might survive for you. :-)
