Doreen, we had 2 years with hardly a pea.One day we trapped 14 chipmunks in 
the pea patch (chip and d clones) Now I've got up well layed down bird 
netting. But it nevr occurred to me that perhaps peas need pollinating to 
form seeds? At least the new little pods aren't chewed. I never did try 
seeing if a chipmunk will fit through chicken wire, but it would surely not 
offend bees. Anybody trapping chipmunks who can give a test?   del
