Does it keep out the chipmunks?

I have it hung on a hook that is 3 ft long from my deck so they can't jump that far to get to the seeds.

I have tons of chipmunks and they cannot get into it. I have it hanging on an iron hook attached to an oak tree that hangs 16 inches away from the tree. The feeder faces out, the back faces the tree. They have tried to get in by walking across the horizontal part of the hook but they just slip off the roof of the feeder when trying to get to the seed openings. As do the squirrels! It really keeps them all out.

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!

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.

We don't have any chipmunks around here right now, so I don't know. You set the bar at a certain weight. If you set it for 3 ounces, then anything heavier than 3 ounces will close the feeder. I don't know how much the average chipmunk weighs.

Yes, it does. I wouldn't keep the solid cover on all the time though as I it can block the ventilation too. The mesh does a great job for most of the instances, it keeps pests, people and animals away. The solid cover folds nicely into a zippered back pocket.

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

I didn't have any "critters" even try to climb up into it - I'm sure that tall animals like a deer would be able to nibble, but the small ones like chipmunks didn't even try. I did have one chipmunk who kept running across my deck though - the tomato plants backed up to my deck and he was eating any tomato he could find through the deck slats. I would think if you are concerned, you could put something like chicken-wire on the inside edges before you add your garden dirt.

Yes, but not unpleasant in my opinion. Sort of a strong anise/black licorice smell. Maybe some citrus mixed in. We noticed it but it was fine, even right next to our deck. And it kept chipmunks away from my plants!

I assume it would, but I have not noticed any evidence that it does. Chipmunks definitely !

I have used it primarily for deer but I also try to deter the chipmunks and squirrels. It does work for a little while but when it wears out or it rains they go digging again. Same thing for the deer. You have to keep applying often.

Nope. I use it to keep dog dander and dust down because of allergies. I am really impressed with the job it does and would buy another one without a doubt.

we don't have cats around so maybe it works on them...but it sure as heck DOES NOT WORK ON CHIPMUNKS.

yes,the chipmunks will steal the food from in the box,it opens up far enough but u can lock it closed.

I have never seen a chipmunk on this suet feeder. They have not been able to outsmart the fact they must hang upside down. Now the starlings are another story. Now and then there will be a couple of very agile starlings who can manage to hang upside down and eat the suet for about 1-2 minutes at a time.

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.

Supposedly! I returned mine. The chipmunks ate the peanut butter and didn't even thank me. Shoulda put out a welcome mat for em. Wouldn't buy

It hasn't kept anything out of anywhere for me. I wouldn't waste the money on it. I bought mine to try and keep ducks out of my swimming pool and I think they laugh at it. The Squirrels just run right by it. Maybe my squirrels are not smart enough to know what it is?

i was using it to keep chipmunks and raccoons from nibbling on my garden. i don't know what it would do to hawks.

I have not seen chipmunks on it and we have a herd in the yard. It hangs quite a way from the tree so I don't think they could jump to it and they cannot hold on to the cylinder. Hope this helps. Nancy

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
