I'm having problems with a chipmunk living in and digging up my flower beds. Anyone have luck keeping them away with this?

No harm trying it. It does work discouraging skunks and feral cats from passing through gaps in my backyard gates and fence gaps .

Used it to deter mice in the attic...both chipmunks and mice are rodents...could work. May have to reapply it fairly often if used outside...q 2-3 days, maybe. Not harmful just a deterrent..I like that aspect.

I haven't noticed that deer repellent sprays keep away chipmunks. When we had a problem with chipmunks digging up a large area of our garden and uprooting/eating plants, a small animal granular repellent did work. It was either Critter Ridder or Repels-All; sorry I can't remember which one. The liquid version did nothing, but the granular form worked, perhaps because I placed some of it into each entrance hole. Good luck!

we dont have any chipmunks...but did get a huge rat and a few mice...this is set by a corn crib....works great...i think putting what chipmunks love into it ..and leave it set... dont touch it...and once they notice it hasnt moved from its spot... they will check it out...whalla...good luck

We have an orchard and garden, they work on gophers and moles as long as you get enough to make a complete connection - all corners connected otherwise the buggers find a way through. Been using them for 3 years. Just remember to mark the spot you bury them and take them out of the ground after the season is over.

I have the same thing here...it is great for squirrels not getting at the food but the seeds will still fall to the ground creating "weeds". I have this in my backyard and there is nothing to prevent it. It drives my husband crazy too because he takes care of the lawn. The seeds fall into the rocks around the pool and create a "weed" type of nuisance.

I have had digging dogs. The only things that keep them from digging is short nails and putting their feces in the area of the dig. Sunforce won't repell dogs digging and it doesn't prevent moles,gophers, and voles.

My experience says it won't keep anything away. The deer stroll right up and eat my fuchsias. The squirrels still dig holes in my garden and planters. As for birds, they still empty the bird feeder three feet away from the unit.

Yes, That's what I bought mine for and I got one of the many chipmunks I have. I bait mine with pecans.

I have used it primarily for deer but I also try to deter the chipmunks and squirrels. It does work for a little while but when it wears out or it rains they go digging again. Same thing for the deer. You have to keep applying often.

We don't have chipmunks but it has absolutely positively worked for squirrels. When our feeders get low and there isn't as much seed on the ground, they really start to find ways to get up there. The only time one got up there is when he jumped straight up from the ground. I watched and was amazed. But since we have one squirrel proof feeder that works, his weight triggered the closing mechanism. We have another squirrel proof feeder that doesn't work, but it's higher off the ground so no squirrel has yet jumped up to it. Moral of the story: if you have really determined and gymnastic squirrels, get a higher shepherd's hook to hang it from. There are no trees, roofs nor wires near enough to our feeder from which the squirrels can jump. I have had peaceful bird watching since the baffle and recommend it highly!!!!

I'm in Alaska we don't have chipmunks. We have ground hogs and mice. But in my area there's only mice and squirrels. Haven't tried on squirrels I enjoy shooting them with a 22lr.

I caught chipmunks all the time by accident in this thing. They like peanut butter, too. I also caught lots of mice. Have to keep checking the trap. the little kills are not obvious from a distance.

I am sorry we just got a new one a couple weeks ago, I no longer have the base, our rabbit dug so much she put a hole in it. it was fairly deep, however she still threw bedding on the floor so we ran the stuff you put over eve troughs to keep the leaves out around the upper part of the base to stop the bedding.

Haven"t tried it on chipmunks but seems to work well on squirrels, small dogs and cats. I"ve only had it up a few days, but notice a big difference already.

Hi Lynn,The Yard sentinel does effectively repel deer, squirrel and chipmunks. Although squirrel and chipmunks can often be deterred by the same frequency, deer tend to be effected by the lower end of ultrasonic sound.For best results at repelling multiple species at the same time, try the "continuous sweep" setting. This will allow the unit to randomly cycle through all of the available frequencies rather then targeting a specific pest!Regards,Rick JCustomer ServiceDeal Republic

I don't know about chipmunks but my black birds have gotten quite clever. They clean this feeder outer too quickly.

The ports on this feeder are designed to close under a squirrel's weight, preventing them from raiding seed supply. We apologize, however the feeder has not been tested for its effectiveness against chipmunks.
