Can you get them to start a band? Maybe they'll go on tour.

Ours got into our walls a few years ago. We used an exterminator and then had some work done to seal up some gaps in our exterior. Haven't had a problem since although I do still see them in our yard from time to time.

Cat. Mine is always bringing some "gifts" to us. Chipmunks, mice and squirrels.

Get a dog. Problem solved.

How do you trap them?

Ugh. Our dog digs like crazy searching for them... We gotta get rid of them. I'm not the OP but will appreciate any tips.

O lordie we love our chipmunks. They are beyond adorable. Our neighbour told us they'd burrowed all around and under her home, so I'm pretending they might not have done the same to ours. They are just too adorable and our dog ignores them/thinks they are leaves blowing in the wind, so our backyard looks like a bambi scene with all the nature going on.

Not the OP--but yes they are pests... They burrowed underneath our house. They do destroy property. Moth balls in holes are supposed to get them to leave. The smell is horrible though.

Short of calling an exterminator or trapper, has anyone have any success in getting rid of chipmunks around their homes?
