because of all the building, and destruction of forest, these animals have nowhere to go,but to town, or back to where the woods used to be..in a NEW development.
I don't buy that excuse at all. Deer for instance, their population increases every year. They need to be culled more than they are.
I had never seen chipmunks around the Raleigh area until I visited a friend's house in the Lead Mine Rd area. His yard was full of them. Strange, we never see them, just several miles north! Squirrels would probably eat them!
Nah, the squirrels and chipmunks get along fine. I have millions of squirrels in my trees and chipmunks under the trees, under my rain barrel and at one time under my driveway (haven't seen them go in there recently so not sure). I also have deer, owls, hawks, foxes, raccoons, possums, copperheads, black snakes, brown snakes, worm snakes, cicadas, katydids, voracious mosquitos, ticks, black widow spiders, groundhogs, blue herons, box turtles, blue tailed skinks, green anoles, bats, oh and "palmetto bugs". I have seen (and/or been bitten) by all those in my house and neighborhood here in the middle of Chapel Hill.
