"Chipmunks are really darn cute. Who doesn’t love to watch them darting around the garden? That is, until they start digging holes everywhere and uprooting your favorite plants. Container plants are especially vulnerable to damage from chipmunks. They can’t resist digging in the soft, bare soil, popping your plants out of the pots in the process. Often, they just want to bury nuts, but chipmunks also nibble on bulbs and foliage.

If chipmunks are digging in every planter on your deck, we have solutions that can save your flowers. Try these five methods to stop chipmunks from digging in your containers."

Here are the five suggestions:

1. Cage Your Plants

2. Cover Your Soil (with rocks)

3. Surprise them with stakes (yikes!)

4. Spray Repellent (urine, cayenne pepper spray)

5. Clean up your yard (perish the thought!)
