How do you get their little cheeks apart????They make poison suppositories?
Pellet guns aren't an option for me and I've tried poison pellets of all forms, and the dang critters were still everywhere. One time I spotted one mocking me by coming up on my deck and eating sunflower seeds he took from my bird feeders 20 feet away... and that did it. The war was on.
Mouse traps? Forget it! Get the old fashioned huge spring-loaded rat traps. Put a dab of peanut butter on the trip lever, not as bait but as an adhesive. Stick some bird seeds, including sunflower seeds, in the peanut butter plus a few scattered around the trip lever as an attractant.
In 2 weeks I nabbed 12 chippies between 2 traps, and then they dried-up. If I saw any evidence of them returning, I'd set out the traps and quell the resurgence within a week.
It's virtually a guarantee to work. Just make sure you don't have a neighborhood cat that likes peanut butter!
PS- Yep, I had one 'incident' of a curious Blue Jay, but...

OK This works I use it all the time. Take a gallon empty milk jug fill it with water, When you see them go down the hole tip the milk jug up over the hole with the water running down the hole they will run right up into the milk jug, durn it right side up and put the cap back on it, you then can turn them lose out in the country or you can drown them, up to you. Hope this helps.
well guns are a no go per a pending divorce if used. I have a blow gun though maybe that would work? I was thinking more along the lines of poison, trap, etc.

I have 2 chipmunks in my backyard that are digging through all my flowers and other plants. I threw out a mouse trap but those little bastards are too quick. any suggestions?
Well, one local cat occasionally would munch on a chipmunk (it was such a pleasing sound!) so I didn't want to get rid of one form of solution to the problem. So I'd try to hide the traps in areas that a cat would be unlikely to be able to get to.You sound like that's a problem. You see "problem".... I see "bonus"!!!

Just hide the pseudofed first...I'd hate to see him start a meth house.A little bit of Anhydrous in the hole does wonders...
