ChipmunksThe most practical and effective method for chipmunk control is live trapping. Chipmunks are easy to catch and can be caught with little effort. The use of a live trap is humane and they won't become afraid of it. Simply place the trap by their burrows or under plants, trees or bird feeders where you have seen them. Use any of the food stuff you know they are eating as bait and you will quickly catch foraging animals. You can also add 1 cup of bird seed in the back of the trap to help entice these little pests to the trap. Once they see the seed they will readily enter. Don't worry if some is leaking through the sides of the trap when you make your set; as long as most of the seed is in the cage they will enter. The best trap for catching chipmunks is our Chipmunk Trap. Once caught, take them at least 5 miles away to release to insure they won't find their way back to your property. You can also destroy them if you want to be completely sure they won't return. Return to chipmunk information article.
