Chipmunks digging under pavers

[Spensar]

I know that for groundhogs and skunks unwashed dog hair often works well. I get it from the groomer at the pet store. They are happy to give it away. One groomer gave me her card and said to call ahead to ensure I was getting unwashed hair.

Wow! I have a large, unwashed (but sweet) Rottweiler right here at home! And he's got lots of hair to spare . . . I will definitely add that to my stinky concoction. Thanks for the tip -

You can drop a mothball in the hole and backfill with dirt. We've had excellent success keeping groundhogs away with this method.

Also a great idea - thanks! I may just try all three - at once. I tell ya - it would drive me away . . .

I've had a problem with chipmunks digging under the sidewalk in various places. Today I put some poison peanuts (sold for gophers) in the holes and backfilled with dirt. It will probably take care of them for the rest of this year but the dens are still there and I have this problem every summer. I'm not opposed to other methods but this has worked fairly well so far.

Well, I really didn't want to kill the chipmunks - just run them out of town. Happy to say that the kitty litter / dog hair balls combination seems to have driven them to find less stinky stomping grounds. Yay.

Congrats on your success! I don't really want to kill them either, so I'll try brushing my dog more often. I'm sure she will like that. I do know that chipmunks are persistent little buggers.
