ebinmaine 66,497 #3 Posted May 19, 2019 They are cute. They are NOT innocent. They need to go. We haven't had any problem with them this year because we had a particularly harsh winter for rodents. In the past they have been quite a nuisance. There's a particular type of plastic snapjaw trap that works quite well for them.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 66,497 #5 Posted May 19, 2019 These are the snap traps... A few sunflower seeds in the cup is a good bait. We've been known to use high speed flying pieces of metal to "assist" them from the yard as well.... .22 20 gauge Or Trina uses a recurve bow. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,974 #6 Posted May 19, 2019 Outside cats. No chip monks, no mice, very few squirrels just lots of cat poop where you don't want it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,981 #7 Posted May 19, 2019 Go to a garden center, and buy some mole poison. It's a bottle of granules that you spoon into the chipmunk burrow holes. It's out of reach of the neighborhood cats and dogs, but it takes care of moles, voles, and chipmunks. Might even get some mice. Good luck, Jim 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadapples 6,983 #8 Posted May 19, 2019 I buy sunflower seeds for the chipmunks and the squirrels. Put up squirrel boxes and the cats are indoor only. Now carpenter bees.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the meantime they are free rain .As yosemity sam would say...... DIE RABBIT!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCW 1,280 #10 Posted May 20, 2019 Best solution I have ever used. Chip and dip. Fill a two gallon bucket half full of water. Float some sunflower seeds on the surface. Throw out chipmunk each day. I've caught plenty and my neighbor caught over 50 with this approach. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LengerichKA88 1,883 #12 Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) For chipmunks I use the smallest box trap baited with suet available for the ones I can’t get, and a .22 pellet rifle for the ones I can. @roadapples, I think you already saw my thread, but Neem Oil suspension sprayed into their holes gets em. Aside from that a swatter for the ones flying around. I think I ended yesterday with 14 or 15 confirmed kills, and another 2 listed as “Probable” (couldn’t find them after swatting them) Edited May 20, 2019 by LengerichKA88 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
