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...

they are fast
one method i used was to lay a concrete block on it's side
that's up against a back board so it looks like this [][][]
i throw a little sunflower seed in the holes and when they
turn their back to me to go in there thats when they get it.
i no longer have chipmunks

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.

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.  |

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! |

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. |

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 |

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"!

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.
