Chipmunks
Thanks for the update. Don't you think it's a little strange that all
you nature lovers never even bothered to ask the OP why he wanted to get rid of the chipmunks in the first place. Like exactly what his problem was? For example, maybe he has a bird feeder that attracts them, which he could simply remove. And if your a nature lover, then why endorse a post that resorts to "chemical weapons" and poisioning, which you find humorous, as a first choice when you don't even ask the extent or exact nature of the problem. Ever hear of a Havaheart trap so that he could simply relocate them? Very strange for someone that claims to be a nature lover. "D H" wrote in message ... "Chet Hayes" wrote in message om... "You don't seem to know the difference between "playing GI Joe" and protecting your yard and home. " Yes I know the difference. The original poster used the terms warfare and chemical weapons, not me. He was clearly enjoying making a war game out of his animal problems. Many people rush to exterminate everything in site at the first excuse, even if there is no clear need. And I think anyone with this posters way of expressing himself is headed in that direction. He is not "many people" and you have no clue as to what direction he is headed. All you know is that he can use those terms lightly, but without knowing him personally, you have no point of reference to determine anything other than that he likes to talk that way for the sake of humor. Nothing wrong with his choice of words at all, IMO. " They do NOT make only small holes. They can make a hole large enough to get hurt stepping into it. " I have lots of chipmunks in an acre of property. I have yet to see anything larger than a clean hole about an inch and a quarter in diameter. And your experience applies to us all, of course. We haven't a clue what we see in our own yards. "I love nature every bit as much as you do (maybe more?) but I know how to manage balance and it does NOT include giving over MY home to pests. " With all due respect, you have no way of knowing how much I or anyone else love nature. No, I don't know how much you love nature; I do know how much I do, and you will not surpass that. Period. I love it with a recognition of who made it for mankind to enjoy and live with responsibly. That does not include worship of nature, which is the height of foolishness and a denial of the Creator. I could say you tend toward this end of the spectrum just as you judged the other fellows motives based on his choice of words, however, I have no way of knowing for sure that is the case, so I won't jump to that conclusion without further confirmation of it from you. If you do love nature, then why go out of your way to defend a poster who describes his wildlife management practices in terms of warfare and chemical weapons? As I said before, I see nothing wrong with his expressions, since I take them as I think he meant them; humorously. Don't bother wasting your time with any lectures about the inappropriateness of mixing warfare and humor, either. It will only prove you have unresolved issues in that area, and I haven't the inclination to help you work them out. Oh by the way, I guess you've heard of a "killfile?" I suppose that is proof of my desire to murder? Sorry but it's not. It only means goodbye. |

Where I reside, if something's bothering you (such as a chipmunk), you
get the 12 guage and blast him. Gary |

I once thought chipmunks were just about the cutest little creatures in the world. NO MORE!!
What damage do they do, you ask? Besides destroying my perennial gardens, they now have constructed a very large burrow underneath my asphalt driveway, which has caused two very large sinkholes. THE DRIVEWAY IS COLLAPSING. Any suggestions for this? Like some of the others here, I am prepared to fight all-out guerilla warfare against these "cute" little monsters!!! Also, they are burrowing underneath the foundation of my house, and I am now waiting to wake up one morning to find my kitchen collapsed underground! |
