My husband and I have had a beautiful 20' fenced in Dahlia garden (2"x 2" wire mesh fencing - which also goes underground - on posts) for the past 5 years. This year something has gotten in and chewed up all the stems and buds (not just bugs on the leaves). We have sprayed with Sevin but nothing is stopping them whatever they are. Could it be baby woodchucks or rabbits? My husband has spent hundreds of hours and lots of money and is ready to scream! Any ideas??? |

| Me Too. I have found it to be chipmunks. I have been putting out bait for them and that isn't even killing them. They have just leveled some of the plants. When and if the plants get bigger, they will leave them alone for some reason. |

| No no-- More likely to be rabbits or groundhogs--they are herbivores. Spray your dahlias with a garlic based spray. |
