Chipmunk Behavior
Aug 24th, 2005 at 9:23pm
 
I know a pesky chipmunk is in my yard somewheres, but I am slightly confused. I shot at him 5 times on different occasions, but missed each time. He dashes off somewhere but it is so fast, I don't see where he gets to. There are holes in my yard
about 2 inches or so across in the ground, what I figure to be some kind of den, but I don't know what lives there. I need some sort of smoke-bomb recipe to get whatever is in there out. I could fill it with water...would that work? Does anybody know how chipmunks build their dens? Do they have one entrance or a network of tunnels and exits in which case neither water nor smoke would work? I also need to know how to shoot that little bugger. I pumped the bb gun 10 times and dumped 5 extra bbs in the barrel which makes a shot-gun effect, but the chipmunk got away without a scratch at 10 yards in full view! Shocked

I have a cat so my dad dumped fresh used cat litter into an animal hole and the beastie never came back.  Tongue If you have a cat you might want to try this or if you don't you could buy some cat litter and yea... know where I'm going?

I want to rid my area of the chipmunk because it keeps eating me veggie garden. Angry I want to kill it because I have a pet ball python and those feeding rats can get expensive.

My best advice is not to put more than one bb in you gun at a time. Each bb slows every bb down that much more. To be more accurate maybe you should try pellets instead. They have a little bit of rifling to them and they are pointed. They should be able to kill a chipmunk pretty easliy. Good luck

Is it just me, or are you guys missing the obvious solution? Send the snake down into the den! If the chipmunk lives in there the snake will eat his little butt, and you will have killed two birds (or chipmunks) with one stone.

But then he'd either have to pick out the lead pellet (if it didn't go all the way through...remember some of them "mushroom") from the dead chipmunk, or potentially give his pet python lead-poisoning. And poisoning a snake with lead would almost be as cruel as...well, almost as cruel as shooting a chipmunk with a pellet!  Roll Eyes
the mai reason he is shooting at the chipmonk is because its eating his veggie Garden

I want to stick to bbs unless the make a lead-free pellet for the reason of poisoning. I can't send the snake down there cause I don't want to bet on a tamed snake who never killed anything in his life vs. a wild chipmunk. You are not supposed to feed them anything alive cause the food might fight back and scar the snake. Also, I have to get the snake out of the den....I could probably just dig up the deg with a shovel...might find something cool ( a chipmunk or another snake) Grin

Rat traps you mean? That would work real well i would think. Just a little peanut butter and you should be done with the problem.

Just kill it, or feed it to the snake while it's alive. No point in making it suffer.
