":they are pure distruction in a striped coat.. NOTHING about them is cute"
My BIL taught me how to make a serious dent in your yards chipmunk population...I call it the their "staircase to heaven"
get a empty drywall compound bucket and fill it 1/2 with water. Cover the top with black oil sunflower seeds. Place bucket near steps or deck and place a wooden plank between steps/deck and lip of bucket. Sprinkle a few seeds along the "plank"
I have caught 5-6 chippys per day with this method... they cannot resist the scent of all those seeds and jump right in... they drown with full tummies....

yup....this is the same set up I referred to as the chipper dipper. got another yesterday just got home and have not checked today yet. I will keep you posted on the progress but so far I am impressed with how effective it has been. Cant say I feel to badly about it except for the one I saw just after it jumped in (seeing it did not make me feel very nice so I had hubby end it more swiftly  ) |

The bucket works until they see enough of their brethren flaoting and become wise... if you remove the live trap as soon as you get them.. they never get wise to it...
I blind set them most of the time to keep the other critters out... but when i must bait... a tortilla chip covered in peanut butter and rolled in bird seed becomes irresitable..

a ten foot section of 2" pvc pipe also works excellent
if your around to observe it and them feeding near it
they dash into it when startled
leave it laying flat on ground -toss some seeds into it
scare them into it and plug the ends with a nerf bat
and/or a rag
then stand it up- -> captured

the words out... they havent knawed on a green tomato in a few days... each day i pick off a few more... I've noticed the size has gotten bigger... I think I've exported the kids out of town and am working on the adult population...
My get rich plan was to start a speying and nuetering clinic for the striped lil mauraders...kind of a chipmunk planned parenting clinic...
