We have red squirrels here. I call them country squirrels because they are beefy compared to the scrawny gray squirrels of my youth. There’s also another kind that my neighbor calls “piney” squirrels. They are much smaller, about the size of a chipmunk. I thought they were baby red squirrels at first. They are fast and very clever. The chipmunks here are a real nuisance to my yard and garden areas.
We have no cats anymore so we use Tomcat baits to keep the chipmunk population down.
