I just saw a chipmunk eating my blueberries, any suggestions about how to

My dad nets his blueberries for birds-- don't know if he has a
chipmunk problem. I've got them eating all my gooseberries, so
I'm going to start trapping them with a drowning set. [1/2 full 5
gallon bucket with a cover & a bit of pipe leading down into the
bucket. Peanut butter smeared on the inside of the lid so they can
smell it.]

Mouse traps are too small-- but rat traps or ratzappers will work.

Rat traps work fine. I had to resort to them last year on the deck
garden. The chipmunks got too destructive.
