We are asking about animal as well as insect pests. We are having trouble with the Spanish for one animal pest -- chipmunk. Farmworkers whom we have spoken with either are not familiar with chipmunks or use the work "ardilla", which is also used for squirrel. One individual suggested we use "ardilla rayada", striped squirrel. Does anyone have a suggestion for common a Mexican Spanish term for chipmunk? Thank you for your help. Tom Arcury A.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Just a thought . . . Because of this variety in language, and also to address literacy issues, have you thought about using a picture or clip-art of a friendly chipmunk? If you are personally administering the surveys, a picture card to show each type of pest to the survey respondent could accompany the questions.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Tom. Another term, if I remember from Michigan, is ardillita. Interviewers could be made aware of several choices. Q: Why do chipmunks no longer compete? A: Es que ya estan rayadas. Q: Know why chipmunks refrain from participating in list-serves or politics before getting ready for work? A: Prefieren estar alistadas que ser listadas, o listas, que es mejor que pasarse de la raya. Q: Know what chipmunks have in common with Christmas songs? A: Bueno, yo tampoco.
