Wang In this suburban neighborhood in Connecticut, life is a constant struggle for the amateur gardener. Between the deers and the racoons, the chipmunks and the ground squirrels, it is a rare treat when a produce actually survives the pests and reaches the dinner table.Over the years, I have learned to adopt pest-resistant plants, but one cannot live on chili peppers alone. In particular, I like garden-fresh tomatoes. Unfortunately, the chipmunks share this affinity, and my garden ends up littered with dozens of large beautifully ripe heirloom tomatoes, half-eaten and covered with ants.I tried traps, but after one success, the chipmunks figured out how to get at the peanut butter without getting caught. A month ago, I finally had enough and, overcoming my aversion toward toxic solutions, ordered this big pail of rodenticide.My property sits on half-an-acre of land, with a mixture of lawn and bushes. A fairly liberal distribution of the baits consumes around 2-3 lbs. At first, the chipmunk population seems quite unaffected. I still see them daily playing just outside the windows. Once when I works in the garden, a baby even crawls within 3 feet, totally oblivious to the rightful owner of the tasty fruits. Just as I begin to despair, I notice that the blue blocks have disappeared from where I place them. Energized with renewed hope, I re-applied the rodenticide. This time, they are consumed even more quickly, with debris strewn over the usual chipmunk playground. It has been two days since I last see a chipmunk. I am hopeful...========================== Added 10/10/2011 ==========================I have since applied this rodenticide a third time. It is very popular with the chipmunks and is gone within days. The problem is that the toxicity seems very low, at least to chipmunks. Many of them are sampling this delicious treat again and again. Ten minutes ago, I just startled one little fellow munching on a chunk of the rodenticide near my front door and saw him scurried away, leaving a trail of blue-green crumbs. Although, to the manufacturer's defense, these Connecticut chipmunks are tough. I put out a traditional mouse trap on the deck. The next day, the peanut butter was gone and the trap was no longer armed, but not a trace of chipmunks was in sight. See all 1 customer reviews...
