can the catch chipmunks

This model I don't think would. I'd run with the larger rat trap model. I think the chipmunks ran off with 2 of my traps now.

these are items used for mice. secondly I would leave what you are attempting to the Dept of Natural Resources.

I don't think these are nearly strong enough or large enough for chipmunks. We have lots of chipmunks around our house but they don't try to nest in our home. If they are trying to do that perhaps you need to deter by using mothballs along the interior of your basement or interior to wherever they are entering- it doesn't kill but works as a deterrent...and also keeps spiders out!

Probably too small and the rat version, too large. How about using a humane trap and setting them free far away from your home?

I have caught field mice, Voles, Chipmunks, One time a frog, regular mice. This trap is good for all small critters. After they get caught in the trap you can take them to a safe place to release them.

I think you would need the next size up. I got 1025 for chipmunks and it works well. One time a squirrel got in and it's tail was kind of hanging out.

I have only tried with gophers catching a few moles as well. I believe the trap was designed to be placed into a hole. Most chipmunks I encounter are surface dwellers.

I do not have a chipmunk problem but hopefully it would deter them as well as it does for squirrels. I'm impressed at how well this works with squirrels.

I have been catching mice, little chipmunks and even one tiny vole. Guess I would say it is working for me!

Well, it does take a bit or weight/force to tip the tray in the middle which initiates the trap close function. I would have to say that it would not work with chipmunks, IMO. Its better suited for something larger. Hope this helps. BM

I used the Classic model for chipmunks and caught many. Unfortunately, I left it in the rain one day and now it is kaput.

Here's our answer for the chipmunk issue - they generally are not as crafty as squirrels, and will try to get at the feeder from the ground. So, a if yours hangs on a shepherds hook or pole, you can buy narrow tube like (look like rockets) metal baffles that attach at the pole level and stops chipmunks from shimmying up the pole. It works very well.

I hang my feeders under a porch roof. Chipmunks don't climb onto the roof and can't jump high enough to be a problem. They do feed on the seed that drops onto the ground. I suppose if a chipmunk did get onto the feeder it might be a problem because the feeder is designed to close up under the weight of a squirrel and chipmunks are much smaller. I'd guess that if you adjusted the feeder to close at a chipmunks weight, it'd close for most birds too.

Not sure...we just "hunt" down the destructful rabbits !!! We also have a trap for chipmunks!!!!!!

Well, some squirrels do tuck but you'll never get them to come out of the closet with that. The squirrels in my yard made their own openings in the underpants. They are quite talented with much jealousy from the chipmunks. (But you never heard that from me.) If it's one thing one does not want to do is piss off a chipmunk. They hold grudges for years. (and they have ways of getting into your house.)

I would say No. I don't have chipmunks here but the spaces between the wires are large enough for chipmunks to go thru. If you want to keep chipmunks out you might have to use something like chicken wire.

We have ours by a porch that is frequented by squirrels and never had one go inside the feeder. Not many chipmunks in my area so I can't speak for that.

I strongly doubt this would stop squirrels or chippies. I did get 2 squirrels caught up in mine and he couldn't get out. So MAYBE they would get frustrated, but I doubt that. They are relentless. I suspect they'd just chew thru it.

I haven't seen any chipmunks on my feeders, so I can't say first hand. I do know that the closing mechanism is dependent on the amount of weight on the ring where the birds perch. Chipmunks weigh between 1 and 5 ounces, so if you adjust the mechanism to close for the smaller chipmunks, it will close for many bird species, too. If your chipmunks are the larger ones, you should be fine. A pole mounted feeder with a blocker on the pole, like Jeff Kaye mentioned, sounds like your best bet.
