I have missed THREE friggin chipmunks this week.

Two I got by accident.

Here's a GREAT way to get them. Take a 4" piece of pvc pipe...tape one end...THIS is how I lost them! You got to tape the opposite end.

The put some seeds near the untaped end. Just a few. Keep an eye out for them...when they come to eat the seeds you need to jump out, they get scared and run right into the pipe EVERY time. Pick up the pipe and givem their own private swimming pool c/o your local water dept :love:

First one I got it got away because I couldn't get the hose quick enough and I was 20' away and he got out. Little did I know there was ANOTHER in the same pipe. I put the pipe down and the little effer ran out. Hows that for a slap in the face.:rotf2:

I got another this afternoon but he ran into another pipe and I didn't see him. I picked up the first pipe...he runs out the other pipe :smash::smash::smash:

Tape the pipe.They can't run out the open end quick enough before you pick the pipe up.

I am up FIVE mice this week. 2 out back, one tried to swim in my pool, and 2 at the shop this week. Those little white plastic Ortho traps work PISSER and can be used multiple times :spam:

Pellet guns work well also.

yea but no way to get to them. They're too close to the house and you'd scare them away opening a door.

Picked up two dead ones in the pool vac yesterday, little bastids seem to be everywhere this year.

i strained my back hauling pink sand today to fill holes
with sand and garden rocks in the 40% shade house

as i walked down there yesterday two of em
said: hey! we like the new wall Dude.They are
snipping off cabage leaves for no reason.

Good idea on using the pipe , as i forgot that trick.
must be due to OLD age :uhuh:

the main coon cat has little interest in the chippy's
he's more of an exclusive mouser

But a Fisher was screaming bigtime the other night
and he was growling loudly.... so i had to go out
@ 11:00 pm and scoop him up for the wifey.

I took a picture for you today scott... want to see it??? it is a chipmunk.

You know how I love looking at nebe pictures :love:

GOT ANOTHER chippy! The pipes work the best out of any trick yet!

Chippy Stairway to heaven..

Fill 5 gallon pail 1/2 way with water. Dump in enough black oil sunflower seeds to cover the top. Place pail next to outside stairs where chippys roam.. put wooden plank to edge of pail and sprinkle a few seeds along the plank..... chippys see all that seed and jump in... drown in about 5 minutes...

Just get one of those live animal traps and release into some nearby woods.

the problem with that idea is that the black sunflower seeds don't float for very long and the striped ones are best for floating
but they're much harder to find....

when you set a gopher trap in their main tunnel
the back of the trap has a nickle sized hole in the back
so the gopher thinks there is a tunnel opening ahead
bumps into the triggering mechanism and gets killed

I'm going to use this technique (trick) today on my
pipe traps... to fool those damned chippy's.

GOT ANOTHER chippy! The pipes work the best out of any trick yet!

what sized pipe you using Scott?

i have some 2 inch electrical pipe
but i have to go get some caps
for the opposite end...

and yep! they are tunnel freaks

YOUR KILLIN ME they're coming OUT of the woods :smash:

Chopped up some holes last night and filled with stone. They really been going nuts around the pool again.

Jumped in the truck this am and saw another on the front steps...I now have his secret front step safe zone spot....little bastid saw me looking at him and hid behind the blocks next to the stairs. Almost looked like he was peeking around the corner at me.

4" pipe is going there this afternoon


NEBE your a sick bastid. I love it :rotf2:

Spence: Nearby woods are easily traveresed by the Wiley chipmunk and they will soon return... by listening to other chippy's chirping away and their hearing is Phenomenal.

Taking them to a further location is the only recourse and that isn't cost effective unless you have other reasons for going there....

Like going to Uxbridge for example
While Salties at the shop :rotf2:

http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y350/HunterGirl19/army.jpg?t=1280696688

Got another last night. Sat down at the table for dinner....look out the window and one is sitting on a log next to the pool. Run down stairs, load, pump 10x walk out back...one shot. Thing sat there for 10 seconds then just fell off the side of the log :hee:

Seeya :wave:

2 more today :happy:

roger that...i'll bring 2 right over.-LOL

2 more this afternoon.

One was 10' up a tree he did a 4 legged electrified jump to a pile on the ground.

Second was in same tree on opposite side 20 minutes later. Did the pause sit and death fall.

I'm beginning to see that there are ALOT more of these things than I thought. There's fresh digs all over the yard on the hills, under fences, in a dirt pile, next to garage etc.

I've got quite a few of these things confirmed dead already.
Holy moly! :smash:

9 by my count so far.

11 :hee:

Still at least 2 more these are gonna be harder.

Wasn't it suggested you go the pellet rifle route months ago? You see how easy they make it and how effective they can be. No more running out to grab traps, just a quick effortless resolution.

The other day a tree rat was on one of my feeders about 30yrds away. Before, I'd go outside yelling and flailing my arms like an idiot. Now, I casually walk over, get the pellet rifle, open the sliding door, pull the trigger and get back to what I was doing. The foxes and feral cats take care of the cleanup.

LOL yep I shoulda done it a while ago. I saw more of them near the house and figured there was no way to get to them. You just got to wait in the driveway or the backyard for them in the afternoon seems to be a great time to get them. They don't seem to be active in the early evening. I been finding 2-3pm is a good time :hee:

I haven't started on the squirrels yet I just want to get these freakin burrowers done with for now.

This is how I picture you:

Hey Spence, what was your address again? ;)
I hear they like home built ponds with running water. :grins:

Another! Not 10' from the garage. This one I wasn't expecting so close to the others I've gotten near this. Most of them have been around this one tree and some would sit on the lower branches of the tree. This one went under the fence in front of the boat-must have been the same one digging in the loom pile on the other side of the fence. If that's the case there's more than one in each burrow. Frig me. I haven't even started on the back of the yard yet. I saw two more to the side today but couldn't get to them with tree branches in the way.

The bodies are disappearing wtf

:hidin:

be glad it isn't snakes EEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I believe I got another one. Will know tomorrow. I had a good shot at one last night I thought I hit it, it ran in his burrow a foot away. I covered the burrow with my foot and covered the one next to the garage again. Neither have been disturbed today. If they both go untouched again tomorrow then he just pooped out underground. :happy:

where did ya buy the rifle? ........ i asked ya once already
i am over run with -em and the destruction is HUGE.

:btu: :wave: :gh:

another one out front :hee: This one took 3 shots to put down and I hit him 3 times too :smash:

At least one more :happy:

and burn off the hair....

just like they do for monkeys in the jungle-lol

3 fresh holes today next to the side door. One out back when I walked in my office. Scared him away no way for a shot there. Did get off two shots into on coming out of the new holes. The first shot he acted funny like I hit him and he went up next to the rock. I reloaded and by the time I was ready again he had perked up and jumped up the steps. I put another shot into him and pretty sure I hit him from 10' away. He hasn't come back.

I think it's going to be a long summer.

Chirp turn around locate him on the side of a tree. Pow. Fell right off the tree.

Fresh digs everywhere today. :fury:

Today I had one in front room of the shop too. Lucky I was standing right there working at the ups table. Wasn't even scared of me :smash:

their not to bright
just fast....

Stoeger made by Benelli

Fresh digs again next to the house today. Both sides. Egads. No wonder why that fisher cat has been hanging around. I'm just giving him free dinner with all the carcasses. Got to spit out that little lead pit though :hee:

5 at the shop today and a mouse inside on a trap. Found an injured bird today too. He's sleeping in a box on the porch. Chipmunks got into the chickadee birdhouse and ate all the eggs :smash:

Fresh digs still!

Son comes out yesterday when I was standing behind the truck waiting for him to come out of the burrow. He wants to help so I put him at a corner of the other truck and tell him to stand like a statue and be quiet, if he sees anything move to tell me.

SOB!

Doesn't a chipmunk pop out FOUR feet from the kid. NO WONDER why I have been having a hard time getting these bastids in the driveway. Because while I'm standing there watching the burrow next to the garage the damn things are laughin at me and coming out 5' behind me. WTF :smash:

they have multiple routes and tunnels.....

the fatter garden snakes love them too

I put a one way door on a comercial style eel trap... fill the back with the 1/2 eaten strawberries they leave behind and a hand full of seeds ( in a tuna) can... I've got as many as 5 in one haul...

I have WAY TOO many squirrels that have been digging in every potted plant and garden bed every day. To top this off, they have all just weaned their FIRST litter of the season, so we have over a dozen grey tree rats roaming our property at any given moment.

Time to cull the herd!

Be glad it's not two dozen

This is my issue. Walked out the front door this morning and there were no few than 5-6 in my immediate field of view digging in our small potted veggies and tearing into the bird feeders. The damn things are so brazen that they don't run away when I go up to them, they just move slightly out of range.

With the yuppy neighbors, I have to be selective of when I thin them out so I'm only able to pick off 2-3 a week. If it weren't for the neighbors, I'd probably be able to get 4-5 a day for a few days.

no fresh digs today :happy:

I still hear them around the pool but haven't started attacking them yet. Pool is leaking again. Might be a remote detonation of 20,000 gallons. I'm thinking nothing would survive :hee:

Set up a remote video and film it like it was a scene from "Earthquake" (the dam-breaking segment).
Maybe you could rig it so that the "flood waters" would fill their burrows , kind of like the hose-soaking scene from Caddyshack?

Nice. :smash:

Fresh 8' burrow under the pool liner. Wasn't happy with a single lane the friggin thing had to go double wide. WTF.

That got 1/2 gallon of bleach all around the base of the pool again. That seemed to work pretty good last year.

Fresh burrows all over the backyard. I found a vole burrow now too. He popped out I wasn't that quick a shot.

good shot :grins:

all the bark chewed off.....

wtf now I got ninja squirrels

hey grapenuts this looks like something you lost? :rotf2:

Few days of quietness and no new holes. Get home today and fresh dig next to the door. Grab the trusty varmint hunters friend and wait less than 10 minutes outside the garage. First one I stunned it...turns ass end to me. I reload quick and run up to the steps...he ain't movin. I hit him from 20' and he was rolling on the top of the rock. No body by the time I got there.

He won't be back :hee:

there's many replacements

Took a few "practice" shots in the back yard this morning (made sure the neighbors couldn't see) and made a couple tree rats take off with a little more than a wounded pride.
If they keep coming back, I'll have to "pump up" my presentation a little more. (10X instead of 3X)

My brother wanted me to take care of a couple of pigeons that had been coming to our yard. I had to explain to him that they aren't a problem because they only came to the yard because of the cheap birdseed and breadcrumbs that get scattered in the yard.

The real problem are the squirrels, because they are destructive in many ways. They will destroy bird feeders, birdhouses, dig up garden beds and plants, chew up lots of veggies BEFORE they are even close to harvestable size, and they leave their little turd pellets all over the place.

Only time will tell whether or not they get to stay or go to "critter heaven"!

I am going to electro-fence my humming bird feeder when I get home

Hit another today. That friggin rock is like a munk hotel

I have 3 at the shop I feed eveyday...jr..shorty an the old man....lots of fun to have around...they come in and sit waiting for their goodies.They go out with cheeks full back to their hole...then on the weekends I leave a dinner plate out full of dried catfood.

ha! just got another driveway side in the loam pile.

It's probably alot more than 3

I'll be down this weekend :hee:

I've lost count how many now. Dam! I never ever figured there would be this many!

Big black poo in the street at the top of the driveway yesterday. Looked like larger animal poo. Coyote maybe.

Another at he shoP this am. Didn't kill in first shot but my size 11 did it in one stomp :)

Another one in the backyard :hee:

Eureka! The 5 gallon bucket with the gang plank finally worked. Got one and two more are going to meet their fate.

Mine are back under the pool liner again. How the hell do they find a burrow underground from 6' away WTF :smash:

Missed the hole, this time it wasn't at the base of the pool. This time he started 4' away from the pool.

Congrats Jimbo leave him out on the lawn for the fox I bet it will be gone in the morning. Mine are every time now.

Hey Salty...thinking of you, buddy!! Mono line through a tarp grommet and attached to a pistachio. Watch as he runs away. "Slight" pull and away we go!

I saw a dead one up the road this morning :hee:

There's 3 more holes in the yard yesterday. WTF my pool looks like chit now. Friggin tunnels everywhere they've ruined the liner now. :smash:

Never hear from Uncle Matt anymore tell him I say hi. Big Daddy too he must be old and in a wheelchair by now

HAHA!

Friggin tunnels everywhere they've ruined the liner now. :smash:

with your back yards length
its a proverbial gauntlet

so start a feeding station right
smack dad in the middle
as far back as ya can
where hawks and owls can
swoop in on them in your absense

and you'll herd them like a cowboy
they'll make all their tunnels down there
Instead

ha! I just got one behind the pool. Fresh holes too beyond yesterdays. First shot right over his head by 5" and didn't even flinch. Grrr reload. Don't move you little mofo. 10 clicks. Steady on the fence POW I saw his entire white underbelly go flying off the rock. He got back in his hole. If he ain't dead by now he's gonna be a bit swollen for a few days. :hee:

I've been observing this thread for awhile. Munks have taken over my yard and now foxes are coming in and digging huge holes all over the place trying to get the, someone has to go....
I used one of the big storage containers (giant tupperware) and filled it with water and sunflower seeds. put a few 2/4 from the bulkhead to the container. I've fished 12 out over the last 3 days. remember those red squirrels that invaded my garage? fished 5 out too.
Also set up a have a hart trap on the other side of the house - 5 caught and dunked so far. Still see tons in the yard but Im chipping away (pun intended)

Pee around the areas where the chipmunk holes are. It will keep the chipmunks and foxes away. I've been peeing outside when I get home late from fishing.

I also recently noticed the red squirrels around my yard. Must be about 6 of them that I've seen. I'll keep peeing, but maybe I'l try the suflower trick with them, too.

so I scooped out the carcasses, and most of the sunflower seeds were water logged and sunk. There was only a handfull of seeds floating in brown water. Came home last night, 4 more chipmunks! I cant believe they dove into that muck.
My tally may be a little off but in less than one week I have over 20 munks and 10 red squirrels. I am actually staring to feel bad about this. I filled up there holes and so far no ones been digging. I closed up the extermination camp and moved the have a hart to the front yard to catch any stragglers.
Dont bother with a 5 gal bucket, go with 20-30 gal container, set up a few cinder blocks so they can climb up, fill with water until about 6 inches from the top and fill with seeds. :uhuh:

I find you can dial the gun in for different length shots. Out that far you aim a few inches low. Kinda like your gonna shoot his feet out :hee:

They were all over the yard like white on rice upto 2 weeks ago.
Then over the last 2 weeks they all disappeared.
Yesterday I go out to cut the lawn and there was a large dropping
laying there. Has to be a coydog or the return of the fischer cat
as there are no cats or fox showings anywhere.

Nothing like the smell of fresh blood in the morning :hee:

I got so many today I lost count. They were still running around when I left. Almost ran one over on the way out. Stupid things are not afraid of you anymore there's so many of them!

Hows that for a kill shot...right in the neck. He died quick :hee:

The pellet gun king might come and help me get it setup. He thinks it's how I was shooting it.

The new gun makes em EXPLODE when you hit them. I hit one earlier and it just when SNAP when it hits the little bastids.

This litter fokker won't be eating any more tomatoes

Got to be well over 3 dozen now. WTF

Have you thought about the bucket method? Seemed like RIJimmy had some pretty good success.

You get some big ones maybe you can make some Riggies out of them

I got a few that way when I started but it didn't work anywhere near as well as the pellet gun ;)

Late update

Two Gun Annie has been captured in a major battle. Mortally wounded she did not survive

They're coming out of the woods. There are 3 more chipmunks as of right now

WTF

2 out of the front yard today :happy:

Good kills too it was very evident they were hit. Never found either body though. That stinks out a few burrows for a while.

Happiness is squishing a LARGE mouse between two cinder blocks not 5' away from my side door :happy:

I was trying to drown him with the hose and one of the blocks just happened to slip when he tried to jump out :hee:

I feel like I'm living in a damn zoo!

CAPTURED one Osama Bin Chipmunk

His insurgent bodyguards were a fierce battle they were sworn to protect their supreme leader. They fired multiple vollies of acorn bombs to no avail. I dispatched them with 3 anti tank rounds at 100' and alas all that was left was their leader who was about to become a martyr. He popped out of his hole in the fence not 30 seconds later looking for his bodyguards and the trained ninjas swooped in to dispatch him with a single shot. He was airlifted to the USS Vinsfist where he was given a proper chipsmunkian religion burial at sea

Ok I threw him over the fence :smash:




Off in the not too far distance...chip chip chip chip chip (Google translates in chipmunk to :bshake: )

Cold snap is sure to cause a major frontal assault! But watch out for either flank as the tactics can CHANGE as fast as government policy!

Six in one day!!

do you have the tally for the season?

nope but I got two more about a 1/2 hour ago. :smash:

I know there's still at least two more near the pool because I see them running back and forth in the grass

This is nuts. Btw I think 95% of what I've posted here has been at my house.

The guy out front at the shop got pissed that I'm taking them out there too. He went and bought a trap. I watched everytime I went near the door today. I saw multiple chipmunks sitting near the trap. He even moved the trap once too. These things are way too smart for traps. He says stop shooting them and I'll trap them then take them far away. I think he was about to cry.

whatever.... After seeing just how many rodents there are around this year I don't want them around anymore. This guy is feeding the things non stop so he's drawing them to the building. They run in my garage, they run in my space, and they're not scared in the least of you. One ran right between the legs of my landlord a few weeks ago. Guy couldn't believe it.

Yesterday I go to Home Depot. I drive home and there's one sitting in the middle of the road in front of my house. Like he's the friggin lookout. He was one of the six yesterday. Couldn't get out of the truck fast enough when he runs in my front yard :smash:

Love your thread Scott but !!!
I hate to take the "Joy" out of you life.......

I was just talking about the little bastards ETc ETc ... when a doctor friend told me to do this and it works :)

well we shall see and you can still post pictures :)

you ready ?

Fill a bucket with water and float sunflower seeds on the top .............
They jump in and can't get out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only the striped sunflower seeds float for that method

but i prefer (+) the scope.... and 1500 FPS lead

i've trained the crows to fly off with the dead munks

because a Raven knows how they think :)
and they are very accustomed to getting our meat scraps

i have a 55 gallon drum with a plywood top
and that is their trusted feeding platform

this morning i had 5 crows on the ground eating

Check the bucket at lunch today , and a huge woodchuck was waiting for me

I just can't win this war .....

Peter been there done that.

Pellet gun much faster and I'm losing the war. They're coming out of everywhere. Little ones now. WTF it's like revenge of the killer tomato here! I got three now that have made a home under my steps at the shop, sitting on my door threshold eating friggin nuts today! I'm getting infested with them-I got one today too. The other two are busy running in circles. Can't even hit the #^&#^&#^&#^&ers they chase each other so fast. I thinkin one is lookin for a little chipmunk love or somethin. WTF help they're chewing my satellite dish now

those are "LIKE" the National Guard chippy's (lol)

that got the call, but aren't used to the new territory

....give them some time.....Bugger

VB something is completely eating my sweet potato leaves

Little bastids called Google and setup a ad campaign now.

This just popped up on this site! WTF they're trying to send me away :smash:

I got another one today out front when I got home.

4 2day

One more under the steps at the shop today. I'm trying on two at the pool right now the little nasties are so quick. They're very small it's got to be a new brood. I've had shots but it's 60+ feet and they're too quick

their out in the jungle cruisin but out of water

so they take an apple and stick it in a small hole
under the watchful eye of the baboon like Monkeys

then they leave and watch from afar
very patiently.

the monkey tries to remove the apple
but then his hand is stuck
and he refuses to let go
out of a survival instinct

a whole day passes
until finally the next day
the monkey lets go
and the chase is ON

he lead them straight
>>>>> to the water.

reason for story:
cardinal chirps to chippy's
is the monkeys apple


the Crows just came and took the CHICKEN :happy:

I am seriously losing this war. There are 4-5 more around the pool now. If anyone doubts why eliminate these things...AGAIN under the damn pool!! ONE DAY! They've now destroyed my liner and 1/2 of the bottom of the pool. There's 3 new holes around the pool.

Popped another at the shop this morning on my steps. And just popped another at the house making a beeline up the fenceline right for the tomatoes. WTF:smash:

word gets out... no mans land @ salty's

lets head over there....

Until they die, might be scrounging for food source any/everywhere but the longer term is looking good (from the Boston Globe):

The squirrel looked lost as it scurried in the shade of the old oak trees, searching for sustenance in stumps, beneath fallen leaves, along a grassy bank of the Muddy River that had been like an open buffet in recent years.

But there was not a single acorn to be found.

A year after a bumper crop of acorns littered streets and parks throughout the region, these nuts seem to have vanished this autumn in New England, a little-understood phenomenon that scientists say will ripple throughout the ecosystem and devastate the population of everything from chipmunks to owls.

In a typical fall, he said, a mature oak tree will produce about 250 pounds of acorns, which serve as seeds for saplings and a vital source of food for rodents, turkeys, deer, bears, and many other animals. At his research station in a forest along the border between Massachusetts and Connecticut, Ashton said the oaks this year have each produced less than half a pound of acorns.

Richard S. Ostfeld, a disease ecologist and senior scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, N.Y., said up to 90 percent of the current population of rodents could die by next spring as a result of the lack of food. That would mean a massive death toll, as the number of rodents has spiked over the past two years, given all the acorns.

“I expect to see a severe crash in the number of mice and chipmunks, and we could be looking at a loss of squirrels of as much as 50 percent,’’ said Ostfeld, who has studied acorns for more than a decade.

:happy:

ELATED

its true. i have about 50 oaks on my property, and I was just saying "where are the acorns?" normally at this time of year I am cleaning them up by the wheel barrow full...

Well come to my front yard then. There's enough for 3 front yards :smash:

Well come to my front yard then. There's enough for 3 front yards :smash:

The you are in REAL trouble this winter as every rodent for miles around will want in on your supply of acorns for food!:rotf2:
