Chipmunk Problem

[jacka82942]

i have traps with a funnel on top.put seeds inside. they go down thru funnel and can't get back up. you have to set funnel just right and put a rock on top next to it or they will push trap aside to get seeds. don't leave them in their to long or they will die i was away for 3 days and came back to find 2 dead ones. take trap away for at least a mile, then release them. have gotten about 40 so far. if you let them roam around all winter, they will destroy your lawn under the snow

Eastern chipmunks enter a restless hibernation state in the winter, not moving from their den. They munch on food stored in the den till spring.

It would be ground moles that wreck lawns under the snow.

I love chipmunks....we had several that were pets when i was young.....we had one, "crooked tail" named for the kink in its tail it got trying to get out our screen door. It used to climb up our pants and shirts and go from perched on our shoulder, down into a shirt pocket to fetch a peanut, and back to the shoulder to shell it and stuff it into its cheeks.......awesome little creatures...
