Ground squirrels!!!

I also have a few pigs on my place in Mississippi. As soon as I get my camp built I will start working on them.

So after a week of no luck with the bucket of death, I switched to Victor rat traps which have worked.

However, a bad side effect is I've been also catching birds in them - which I don't want.

So...any suggestions for an effective Chipmunk trap that won't also kill birds?

Thanks.

This works for mice rats AND chipmunks,,AKA ground squirrels. I have made these for years and its a set and forget,, at least untill it starts to stink

Skeets, I've got one of those in my barn and I've never caught a mouse!

The rotating can is polished clean of peanut butter each time. I gave up!

I think possums and coons get in there and have desert. I'd have to put the bucket in a cage so the big critters are excluded.

Yeppers its coons and possums ,, I have heard about a mixture of flay bait and grape soda for coons my guess would be peanut butter would work just as well

Glad to hear my wood chuck problem is not unique.

I have killed around 15 at my place.

Seems like everything wants to eat and destroy your stuff...grr.

Woodchucks, mice, chipmunks, birds, Japanese Beetles, Cucumber Beetles, Blights, molds, etc...

I see why commercial farmers use pesticides....

Agreed. Also helps the remains degrade faster too...
