I've already done it at least 4 or 5 times in various groups, though
not in those words. Many people have done it. I don't know about the
first part, but he manages to avoid the second part too easily.

He's as persistent as the chipmunk who eats my phone lines. We took
out line insurance to cover the two to three times annually that the
little bugger gets to chewing. Our line guys told me today to get a
..22 and go nuts on the little bugger. I said it would be useless, as
another one would move right in if I did nail him. Back to Len:
He'll be gone away again for a while as soon as he gets done pushing
his newest book. Which probably owes more to his reading than his
tracking abilities.

The chipmunk is cuter than Len. I've never seen Len, but I know this
to be true.

Blow gun. Cheap....silent.....effective.....surprisingly accurate to
20 yards or so. You can use up chipmunks as fast as they appear.
Never tried one on a Len.......can't help you there. You'll have to
establish the protocol experimentally.

Bad lungs. And I like the little chipmunks. The insurance is cheap.

As if I'd want to get that close to Len. Mildly tempting, but for
that distance factor, though.

Have you tried coating the lines with oil ?

No. Never thought of it.

I'd assume it'd just make him more eager to crawl into the junction
box and nibble. You seem to be implying that it's not tasty to them?

I don't really know. I thought at first about something
like a hot sauce, but that would wash off very quickly,
so oil seemed like a better option. Maybe you could
stir in some cayenne pepper :-)
