This does actually create a funny visual. I'v never heard of this.
Sounds like a g-rated horror movie. :-P
IMHO: with any plague, I wonder if I crossed God wrong, once I'm
done
with that, I move on to eliminating the vermins food supply. Do you
have bird feeders, or some other source of food for these little
buggers?

Let's play devil's advocate with this. You trap, remove a possible
father or mother chip-monk from his home. He/she's offspring are now
left to starve to dealth. hmmmm.... Chipmonk possibly has infected
fleas, you have released this infected chipmonk into a someone elses
house. hmmmmm..... Chip monk is lost and disoriented and now subject
to this new area's preditors. hmmm....
I'm starting to think it's no that humane.
:-P

Humane? It's a chipmunk. It doesn't know "humane". It's a frickin' wild
animal on human turf. Kill it.

Just a suggestion Tom. As Devil's advocate you have some good points. All I am saying is that it might be a little better then shootin' them or perhaps poisoning them. I guess you are troubled by the word "humane" I will take it back and say,
option 1. Trap them and realease them on your property, making sure you the fleas actually do have the b. plague.
option 2. or posion them and then they will die in the walls, attic, etc or perhaps even poison the house dog or cat.
option 3. Buy a cat
