Make a Trail to the Hava-Hart Trap...
Make sure you have the right trap. Traps that catch Red Squirrels won't keep a Chipmunk inside.
Chipmunks love sunflower seeds. Put some seeds under the "trip" plate. There's a chance that if you successfully relocate the "guilty" Chipmunk, others will raid the empty burrow of the cache of winter food. After a few days, you can plug the tunnel.
Keep in mind that chipmunks are very high-energy critters, and shouldn't be kept in the trap for even an hour. They can die of stress, so keep the trap covered against light.
