Has anyone used this for chipmunks? if so, how'd it work, they are a big problem here.

I caught close to 100 chipmunks with this last summer. It definitely is big enough. Since I am home all day, I was able to reset it constantly. Some days I got 8 or more. I am planning on buying the 3 pack now since I learned they have 2 batches of babies a summer. No wonder it seems like you never run out of chipmunks!

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

This should work for chipmunks because they are about the same size as rats. I've only caught rats and mice, but I have neighbors that have used this trap for chipmunks. The only problem is that this is not designed to use outside, so you'll need to place it where it is dry. I think the dog kibbles should work fine as bait...I don't like things that are messy.

I bought one of these and caught absolutely nothing. Total waste of money. I caught more with old fashioned snap traps, very disappointed with this item.

Not that big, looks big on the picture. I have been very disapointed in this purchase, I do not recommend this item at all

we dont have any chipmunks...but did get a huge rat and a few mice...this is set by a corn crib....works great...i think putting what chipmunks love into it ..and leave it set... dont touch it...and once they notice it hasnt moved from its spot... they will check it out...whalla...good luck

We have had this out for a week or so and never caught one, but the bait is always gone. Once it was tipped over. We have it near their holes but nothing yet.

I caught chipmunks all the time by accident in this thing. They like peanut butter, too. I also caught lots of mice. Have to keep checking the trap. the little kills are not obvious from a distance.

I do not have a chipmunk problem but it works GREAT for squirrels and I feel confident that it will prevent chipmunks from climbing the pole. I will caution that squirrels will drop down from a branch above the feeder if possible. I thought I had pruned the branches far enough but had to prune a little more as they were making quite a lengthy jump to get to the feeders. I have watched them and they will stand at the bottom and look up then jump on the pole and look some more then finally just give up and go back to scavenging for dropped morsels under the bird feeders.

I found that the chipmunks are too light weight to activate the spring mechanism. However I am now on my fourth feeder. Certainly they won't last forever but for the money they so what they are meant to do. Mine are on ShepperdHooks in the middle of my yard. Visible from my living room window. A baffle helps to keep the squirrels at bay. Not a good idea to hang the feeder from a tree as that is where you'll find squirrels. I find the feeder is good for three years or so....divide the price by that and it's not a big investment for the pleasure derived from it.

Hi Lynn,The Yard sentinel does effectively repel deer, squirrel and chipmunks. Although squirrel and chipmunks can often be deterred by the same frequency, deer tend to be effected by the lower end of ultrasonic sound.For best results at repelling multiple species at the same time, try the "continuous sweep" setting. This will allow the unit to randomly cycle through all of the available frequencies rather then targeting a specific pest!Regards,Rick JCustomer ServiceDeal Republic

Hi... there are a couple of answers to your question. First, this model needs a pretty good sized rat to trip the mechanism. I had better luck with : Havahart X-Small Professional Style One-Door Animal Trap for Chipmunk, Squirrel, Rat, and Weasel - 0745... I caught several of varying sizes with this one. I also accidentily captured one of my favorite squirrels..he wasn't happy. I would keep the rat traps where the squirrels don't go if possible...AND make sure the squirrels have their own feeders so they are not tempted to go where the trap is. Interestingly, now that I've relocated around 9 rats, we haven't seen or heard them in close to a month...and there is never rat poop in the squirrel feeder anymore... it used to be there everyday. Hope that helps.

I have not caught a chipmunk but I have caught a rat that was much larger than a chipmunk. I would think that it will work fine for chipmunks! I have a neighbor that has caught a squirrel too so fairly confident about the chipmunk.

I used it to try repel and relocate chipmunks from residency under my storage shed. Didn't do the job!! Ended up live trapping them.

Haven"t tried it on chipmunks but seems to work well on squirrels, small dogs and cats. I"ve only had it up a few days, but notice a big difference already.

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.

They work well for chipmunks and squirrels and with modification work great to keep away deer and prowlers: https://youtu.be/MqUv3dzBdN8

Can't help you - No chipmunks here in mid Florida. I would expect it would prevent them from raiding the sunflower supply, but if they find a way to get to it their little critter crew might make the squirrels look like dieters!

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

Sorry, I don't have any experience with that. I was using it to get rid of chipmunks. We don't have any outdoor cats in the area.

This is great for birds but think of it as a chipmunk trap! The first year I used it, I didn't tie it round the base of my blueberry trees and I killed 3 chipmunks, they got caught in it and died a really nasty death. Now I tie it round the base of my trees, problem solved - no birds, no dead chipmunks and my blueberries are safe. We have plenty of squirrels but they don't bother the blueberries so I'm not sure about them. I do also open an old cassette tape and tie bits of the tape to to tree - the birds hate it. Hope this helps.

I do not have any chipmunks around but I believe it would keep those out also, if not placing a squirrel guard around the pole should work.

Not sure. We do have quite a few chipmunks and I have not seen them actually trying to feed at the feeder.

It works for squirrels and chipmunks. Place at least 4 feet or higher up the pole and put the feeder where they can't jump to it.
