How to kill chipmunks...

[hunting170]

Well City Boy, since it`s you I would have to recommend the Rat Zapper 2000. Have a look at this:

Anyone else that could be trusted to not kill every family pet, or toddler in the neighborhood, I would suggest a poison of some type. Personally I would use the poison, either plain old rat and mouse poison, or poison peanuts used for moles. I would enjoy the fact that the little cutesy mother fornicators would be dieing a slow, miserable, and agonizing death for the headaches they caused me.

Best of luck with whichever method you choose.

Go get 30 lbs of imr 4064, a muzzle loader and a box of 777 and primers to fit your gun.
Wait for the ground to be completely dry, then 4064 in each hole until you can just see it in the hole, load the muzzle loader with 777 and a patch point the barrel down in each of the holes and fire. Should do the trick.

You can turn this around to your advantage, Craig. Put a couple guitars, drum set & other musical instruments on the patio. I remember a show from when I was a kid that had singing chipmunks. Those little fukkers were some singing fools. You could take a show like that on the road and make more money than you're making now.

How do you know they are chipmunks? Might be some snake holes.



If you would have poured short walls around the patio, you wouldn't have the problem you're having.

Snakes don't dig holes, numbnuts.

Get a rat trap, the bigger version of the mouse trap, and bait it with chunky peanut butter. I would also poison them, and wait by a window with a .22 loaded with rat shot.



Go all out, or they will burrow all around your foundation.



I can loan you a little .22 and some rat shot if you need it.

What is the benefit to live trapping vs killing the fuggers dead?



We had a chipmonk war at one time. I'm still around to talk about it, if that tells you anything.

H170, everything I've read says poison doesn't work for these things. The won't take it for whatever reason. I'm supposed to live trap them.



What do you suppose they taste like?

First of all, I have a new avatar for you:







If you`re ready to get serious, then try this:



Although traditional rodenticides will

not work, there is a formulation that can be created

for this purpose. Although this process will work, you

must be careful when using it. Because the formulation

is so attractive, non-target animals such as pets

may eat some. This would lead to them getting sick

and possibly dying if they were to eat enough.

Because of this inherent risk, U-Spray does not

recommend this approach. However, the overwhelming demand

for a bait which could be used for their control

lead to this new usage for an old product. LIQUID POISON is

a liquid rodenticide which is usually mixed with water.

It is then placed out and will kill mice or rats if they

drink it. Liquid poison is not easy to use and results vary so

the product has never been able to develop to it's full

potential. However, it can be used quite successfully for

chipmunks. The secret is mixing it with something they

can't resist. Although you may try mixing it with bird

seed, it is very likely the local chipmunks will simply

hoard your bait placements. If you want them to consume

the product quickly, mix the Liquid Poison with

TRAPPERS CHOICE PECAN PASTE. This paste is rich with

nuts, oils and sugars. Chipmunks can not resist eating

it immediately. Mix one pouch of Liquid Poison with a

jar of Pecan Paste and then place the bait in a

plastic ziplock sandwich bag. Put the bag down their

burrows where they will quickly find it. One placement

will can kill 2-4 chipmunks. You must be careful that

non-target animals like dogs are not able to dig it up.

This mixture will make them sick and could lead to their

death. The same applies to opossum and raccoons. These

animals will dig for a good meal and any in your yard

may try to get to your bait placements. Repeat

placements as needed for ongoing control. Chipmunks will

not hoard this formulation because it is succulent and fresh.

They know it will go bad so they must eat it immediately.

This insures quick control and results. Expect animals

that eat it to die within a week.





I think chipmunks taste like the backstraps from a two week old buck fawn. It takes a helluva bunch of them to make a meal though.

My neighbor fashioned something like that to kill moles.


It failed miserably.

Most of you are not aware of this, but I am the chipmonk king. I am one with chipmonks. I know exactly how to get rid of them. But I'm not tellin. I love them fuzzy little bastages...

With that matching outfit, crooked hat, & goofy-assed smile, it looks like you rode the short bus for a field trip to the petting zoo.

[Swamp_Fox]

Is that a 'monk climbing in the left leg of his shorts?

[webster]

I be damned you know Chip and Dale!!

God darn, that picture is going to make someone a helluva good avatar!
