I have a cage to try and catch the chipmunks in my flower garden but
have been unable to catch them. What is the best bait or best method
to deal with them? Thanks

I like the lure they sell for chipmunks and squirrels at bugspray.com
and combine it with pieces of walnut for bait. (I actually 'glue' a walnut
piece to the trap pan using the lure.) Peanut butter didn't work for me;
'Pecan Surprise' did.
