I know you must go into the Times office every so often…and in doing so, you probably go past the new ARF building. Q: Have you seen the abundant colony of ground squirrels or chipmunks? The mounds are getting enormous. And the road at the corner of Oak Grove and Ygnacio, the critters have all but taken over the empty field. As we live near-by I wonder what we can do to discourage the infestation from moving into our lawns, gardens and home foundations. I hate to think of some agency being required to poison or gas the little critters bcause we all enjoy being close to natural wildlife. But I think its about time some vector control agency thought about lacing the little critters’ nuts and berries with a birth control substance. Or maybe hire a Pied Piper of Chipmunks, to lure away the males. Or would it work better if he lured away the females. Any remarks would be appreciated. Nancy, Walnut Creek
