My wife told me tonight that she heard a scratching noice inside the dryer when she turnes it on.
And earlier , my dog was outside going crazy by the exhaust vent for the dryer.
I took off the top part of the exhaust pipe and could see the chipmunk at the base of the pipe!!!
I've got the dryer running now hoping to cook the the little bastard:smash:
If this dosen't work to kill the little bastard anyone got any ideas.
I don't want to let the thing free in my basement..

Screw a 4/0 treble onto a 3' dowel and pretend you're gaffing a fish

we had birds in ours. we were getting sticks and stuff pretty far in. we just waited till the eggs hatched and they flew away. it was a pain cleaning it out. gross too.

maybe try co2? dry ice. block both sides, then pull him out.

I wouldn't suggest running the dryer to kill it.

It may stink for a while. :eek:

So what did ya use... the sabiki or small hand gaff? Forgot to warn ya about the treble thing. If ya stick him and it doesn't hold it may run right up the pipe at ya really pissed off. Not a place to have your face looking in.:D
