Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home and seal any gaps, cracks, or holes with caulk, steel wool, or hardware cloth to prevent chipmunks from entering.
Remove Food Sources: Eliminate outdoor food sources such as birdseed, pet food, and fallen fruit. Store food in rodent-proof containers.
– Clean Up Yard: Keep your yard tidy by trimming overgrown bushes, raking leaves, and removing woodpiles or debris where chipmunks may hide.
Use Repellents: Apply commercial or homemade repellents, such as predator urine or spicy pepper sprays, around your garden and entry points to deter chipmunks.
– Set Traps: Place humane live traps baited with nuts or seeds in areas where chipmunks are active. Relocate trapped chipmunks at least five miles away.
– Install Fencing: Erect a fence with a buried edge around gardens or flower beds to prevent chipmunks from burrowing and accessing plants.
Introduce Predators: Encourage natural predators like cats or owls to frequent your property by providing suitable habitats or perches.
