Who all goes to the trouble of baiting chipmunks?

Like I do?

Peanuts mixed with peanut butter ... I think the smell of the peanut butter is stronger than just peanuts, and unlike when they eat the nuts and move around, they sit perfectly still while they lick the pb.

Here's my bait set up (the white cloths are there for pass-throughs, and are piled thick. They will catch a full-on hit without a problem.

Most of my chippers are drive bys, or near anamal feeding areas

I do. I dig into the forest floor and drove little cups into the ground. routinely filled with peanuts, sunflower seeds, and hazelnuts/walnuts

Yikes! If I put out pb we'd have a mouse and skunk infestation in no time.

Unfortunately ,that's illegal where I live . Chippers are protected & can only be removed if nuisance ( like crows,when are they not nuisances?). And baiting is a no no also.

Well, they're definitely a nuisance to my mom's garden

I feed the birds and we have three clans of chipmunks that battle over the seeds. And fight and chase each other. The clan from my shed my neighbors shed and ones that come from under the fence. I spend all summer watching them work and gather seeds. I imaging a giant cave filled with seeds under my shed. They are more fun to watch than anything on TV these days.

It's like that old episode of south park. Uncle Jimbo's rule - " It's coming right for us, i'm in fear for my life!"

Never had to bait them, Chipmunks on my property raid bird the feeders. Last year started out with the biggest chipmunk population I’ve ever seen. Guess I did good job on my part pesting, not to many this year lol.

Last week a big hawk came out of nowhere and hit one standing on top of the bird feeder. Not a sound. Just a flash and it was over. I just looked up in time to see it flying away with the little chipmunk..
