GREAT way to get rid of chipmunks !!
Comments (9)They also eat chicken eggs and raid bird nests for eggs. Wish they'd munch up all the rabbits. They will definitely startle you, if you come upon one unexpectedly. Last year my husband was in the hospital and I was trying to keep up with all the yard chores by myself. I went into the chicken pen to close up Speckles' door for the night. As I reached up to the door I almost wet my pants when I suddenly saw that there was a HUGE rat snake stretched across the top of the door and almost all the way to the ground. I screamed so loud I expected the neighbors to come running or the police to show up. After I caught my breath I realized the snake wasn't moving. It had gotten itself totally caught in the bird netting and was dead. Then I got to deal with cutting the netting to get the body loose and dragging it back behind the barn!! YUCK!!! I know they are beneficial and I have no problem with them eating up any rodents, but I prefer that they stay away from any area I'm in. It definitely makes me more aware when I step into the bushes to trim branches or something. Beats the heck out of a copperhead or rattlesnake anyway....See MoreGet Rid of Chipmunks
Comments (4)Betsy, I'm having the same problem. I also have voles the last 2 years. I didn't think they were here this year, but my wonderful dog Samantha was so proud of herself after killing one. So I now know they are here. Last year I set traps and caught about 10 and then I got a chipmunk. I was devistated. So I went out and bought a Have A Heart trap, so I wouldn't kill the chipmunks. Well now they are borrowing in my daylily beds and exposing roots. I filled in the holes also and the tunnels are back. I think it's time to stop feeling sorry for the chipmunks now. Go to the store and get those cheap wooden mouse traps. That's the only thing I was able to catch them in. They seem to escape out of the Have A Heart trap I have. Just put a dab of Peanut Butter (VERY tiny) on the trap and set it. If you put too much on, they grab it and run. Good luck! I'll be joining you....See Moregetting rid of chipmunk
Comments (1)After a couple of days in a bucket half filled with water that chipmonk will have drowned so there would be no reason to drive a couple of miles away to get rid of the body....See Morei made a mistake -how can i get rid of these stools
Comments (10)I think Craig's List might be your best bet; most of the buyers on EBAY will need to pay shipping which will drive down the price they're willing to pay. If the stools are still in mint condition, you could check the the store where you bought them and see if they'll take them back minus a re-stocking fee - The worst they can do is say no. Best wishes....See Morejohnva
