Lastly, and maybe most importantly, you have to relocate the chipmunks 4-5 miles down the road to a safe place or they will return. Additionally, when I transport them I put a cover over the chipmunkinator as it settles them down in your vehicle otherwise, they can be loud trying to escape. The thing I like best is that this seems to be the most humane way to catch and release. When I first got the product I thought it was too small however, it is actually perfect for handling and yes, when you get 3 or 4 in there at a time and get near the cage they really do sound like the chipmunk movie. The most I have captured is 4 but usually it is 2 at a time. I take them down the road to a farm/park area and release them. So far, in about a weeks time I have captured and relocated about 15 chipmunks and yes one oversized squirrel. I put a good sized portion of peanuts in the middle then sprinkle peanuts around the rest of the cage and all along the outside then I put some in the door opening and create a little trail of nuts leading to the door. I followed the directions as it related to attracting them and that has worked beautifully. I finally purchased the chipmunkinator because it claimed that it could capture numerous chipmunks at a time. Great for safely catching chipmunks, rats, mice, and small squirrels Easy to Bait and Set - Simply. I tried other humane traps with no success because the chipmunks found a way out. Medium Sized Dimensions - L: 9.25 x W: 4.3 x H: 4.5. This Kensizer trap or Faicuk trap are both good.

A small cage rated for rats or squirrels (generally 5 inches by 5 inches by 14 inches in size) is perfect. Trapping a chipmunk is an easy matter, unlike many other species. My back yard has way too chipmunks and they are tunneling under many of my trees and shrubs. Just remember that chipmunks can dig new entrances, so try to get rid of as many as you can first.
