CHIPMUNKS REVENGE

YOU REMEMBER A FEW BLOGS BACK THAT MARY STARTED A WAR WITH THE CHIPMUNKS?  SHE WAS PUTTING WATER OUT FOR THEM AND FEEDING THEM JUICY FRUIT GUM.

THERE IS AN OLD WIVES TALE THAT THE GUM WON’T GO THROUGH THEIR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND THE GUM KILLS THEM.  AMY REMINDED US OF THE OLE TALE.

LIKE THE DEBATE OVER MOUSE TRAP BAIT, CHEESE VS PEANUT BUTTER, WE HAVE THE PERFECT OPORTUNITY TO PROVE THE THAT JUICY FRUIT GUM WILL SOLVE THE CHIPMUNK PROBLEM.

AS YOU CAN SEE MARY IS WELL ARMED.  IT’S EASIER TO FIND JUICY FRUIT GUM AROUND HERE THAN IT IS TO FIND JACK DANIELS.

DOES IT WORK?

WE’RE NOT REALLY SURE. THE GUM DISAPPEARS BY THE CARTON, BUT THE CHIPMUNKS ARE STILL PRESENT.  ARE THERE MORE CHIPMUNKS THAN WRIGLEY HAS GUM?

NOW THE CHIPMUNKS HAVE STRUCK BACK BY CHEWING A HOLE IN THE GARDEN HOSE USED TO PUMP MY WASTE WATER.

 

I WOULD CONSIDER ARMING MYSELF, BUT, SHOOTING GUNS AT HOME WHILE SURROUNDED BY SOFT MAPLE TREES, SOD, AND CORN FEILDS IS JUST DIFFERENT THAN BEING SURROUNDED BY ROCKS AND MOUNTAINS.  ONE HURRIED SHOT AT A CHIPMUNK COULD RESULT IN A RICOCHETED BULLET TO MY OWN LEG.

YOU KNOW, NOW THAT I’M THINKING ABOUT IT…….

I THINK THE JUICY FRUIT GUM TREATMENT WAS FOR MOLES NOT CHIPMUNKS.
