It is not designed to deter chipmunks, raccoons, bears or other critters
While squirrels and chipmunks can be destructive to plants, they do not have a taste for the flowers and vegetables in your garden. They may even develop a taste for fruit and seeds. In addition, they tend to injure leafy vegetables less frequently. One of the most effective ways to keep chipmunks out of your garden is to install an electrified netting or small electric fence. Similarly, you can use fine mesh cages to protect individual plants or small rows of crops.
Live trapping is one method that is very effective. However, you should be careful as they might have helpless babies nearby. If you can’t live trap a chipmunk, you can use predator urine spray or motion activated owls to scare them away. Using predator repellents may also be an effective method. You may want to combine them for maximum protection.
