Plastic owls don't fool anybody, I tried one and the birds used it as a perch. I'd be tempted to get one of those owls for the photo opportunity-- but they are way too expensive. I love the 'review' on the live trap- " I ordered it and within 30 minutes of getting it and setting it up I heard the "Snap" of the trap. Sure enough, I finally had safely trapped the chipmunk. I delivered him to the arboretum across the street, where I hope he lived happily ever after." 1 chipmunk? Moved him all the way across the street? That's rich. The fox urine *is* a possibility, though. I used liquid fence for a rascally rabbit one year & it seemed to work. [that bugger was a ghost-- got through fences, never showed himself when I was armed, and would *not* go in a trap] Expensive, and a pain in the butt--- but it worked. The ultrasonic repellent might be worth $15 to try, too. -snip- into kitty litter quicksand I dug it out and buried it in the woods. I am using Critter Ridder repellent, I have no evidence one way or the other on that so I bought so more this year out of shear desperation. Have the chipmunks kept coming after you used it? That look's like a pepper/capsicum based one. I've tried them with squirrels and they were useless. Jim I used hot pepper in my bird feeder last year and it worked. I went to an Indian grocery and bought the hottest chili pepper they had. The first time I mixed it into the bird seed I didn't use a respirator and it was like I'd experienced a WWI gas attack, I learned my lesson and when I do it now I use a gas mask. |

I just saw a chipmunk eating my blueberries, any suggestions about how to kill them? My cats are indoor cats because it's no longer safe for cats in my neighborhood. I'm going to set a number of mousetraps, are there any poisons that are good for chipmunks? I feel like a murderer. The mouse traps caught a couple of moles and the rat trap caught a chipmunk. The chipmunk was still alive which is why I feel so guilty, I had to drown him to put him out of his misery. The chipmunks have eaten five trays of rat poison, I won't see them die so it's not so bad. BTW I saw the chipmunks eating the poison so I know it's not other animals. |
