How to get rid of chipmunks.
That should have been a question.
They're over running my gardens! To Hades with the Hav-a Heart traps....they suck. I want these rats dead,dead,dead! |
|
I'll bring my Boxer Bella up. She's the chipmunk slayer!
|
Here are a few instructional videos that might help...

Baited traps and a pellet gun. I HAD ground squirrel problems. Not anymore and it was fun getting rid of the dang things.
|
get a pet badger
also good at removing unwanted cats owned by your neighbor, obnoxious children, etc. |
|
Pellet gun works fine.
|
"they're overrunning your gardens?"
so put up some fencing like chicken wire. Geezus, I have deer to worry about eating everything in sight, and you're whinning about chipmunks? |
I just went through this about a month ago, this stuff worked great.

You can try and sprinkle some bloodmeal around the yard and that sometimes repels rodents. You can add some cayanne pepper in the mix (buy big bag at international markets) and that also helps. Realistically you need a predator more than you need a repellant.

i have them digging all through my gardens. if i catch any humans killing them, i kill the human. i stick up for my little buddies. they look up at me with those eyes and chirp and sometimes will sit on my shoe. catch them and ship them to me and i will give them a good home.

Plastic explosives

IED. Sit on the porch with a beer and camera. When they come, phone it in, post it on youtube, make money off the advertisements.
|
|
Rat traps should work.
|
I tried chipper dipping...nada.
They,ve burrowed everywhere so the pepper trick won't work. Maybe M80s in the burrow entrance? |
Try animal urine (cat, fox etc) makes it seem like there is a predator there. We feed them peanuts on our deck. Our cats are indoor only (fischer cats in the area) so the love to sit and watch the squirrels eat. We get 4-8 of them at a time running on and off the deck.

A two word solution
Jack Russell My dog kills anything that moves. snakes, cats, birds mice moles..its endless..she never stops..you really have to watch her all the time or she is into something |

I have a chipmunk problem too. In my case, they dig tunnels which cause my brick sidewalk to collapse. My next-door-neighbor's cat helps somewhat, but not enough. |
one gram of c-4 wired to a piezo electric pressure switch placed in the hole-
|
Run a hose from your exhaust into the holes. Solved our rodent problem for many months when we lived in CA. In WI we had a competition with the dog to see who could get the most. The dog usually won.

Jim is right,schnauzer is the way to go. sometimes you need the larger version.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1333827137.jpg

I've heard chewing gum is good for gophers, they can't digest it. I need to buy a pack or two of gum.
|
I iced my first groundhog of the season today. 22-250 @ 100 + yards. The first kill for the new Winchester model 70 featherweight too. It took only 4 shots to zero it, and then a hog first day out. I'm thinking this is the quit possibly the perfect gun.
|
Hugh, I tried the chewing gum thing. Put it down the hole. Used gloves to keep my scent off. The next morning I found the hole filled with dirt pushed up from below, and the piece of gum was on the top of the dirt. I bought 2 packs - Juicy Fruit (which didn't taste like it did years ago), and another flavor. I chewed them up myself. They did the same thing with the round poison pellets - backfilled the hole & the pellets were on top of the dirt.

Are they any worse than gophers?
You could call Carl for some pointers. http://static.moviefanatic.com/image...l-spackler.jpg |
I ordered a container of that fox & bobcat urine powder. I'm anxious to see how it works with the gophers in the yard & mice in my pump house. Coincidentally we saw a bobcat in the back yard this morning about 8:30. First one we've seen in almost a year. It didn't pee anywhere & didn't stop to catch any mice or gophers. Too bad. It was a really beautiful, adult, and healthy looking cat.

If you have a gopher (which burrows in the ground), you can easily catch them with a gallon milk jug filled with water. When seeing one entering his hole, set the full jug upside down on the hole until empty. The gopher will end up in the jug when empty. Works every time, for me.

Gopher in a Jug, I gotta try that.
