Chipmunks are attracted to foods with strong scents and high fat content. Some popular bait options include:

• Peanut butter – Its aroma and stickiness make it a top choice.
• Sunflower seeds – Chipmunks love these, especially unsalted ones.
• Oats or cereal grains – These can also draw them in.
• Fresh fruit pieces – Try apple or banana slices for variety.

Place the bait at the far end of the trap to encourage the chipmunk to fully enter. Always check traps regularly and follow local guidelines for humane trapping and release.

If you're looking to remove chipmunks from your property, consider these steps:

1. Set up live traps in areas where you've seen chipmunk activity, using attractive bait.
2. Seal entry points around your home to prevent them from coming inside.
3. Remove food sources like fallen birdseed or pet food from your yard.
4. Trim back vegetation near your house, as chipmunks like to hide in dense plants.

Always check traps frequently and relocate chipmunks according to local wildlife regulations. These steps can help reduce chipmunk presence effectively.

If a chipmunk gets indoors, try these gentle methods to guide it out:

• Close off other rooms to limit where it can go.
• Open exterior doors or windows in the room where the chipmunk is located.
• Place a baited live trap with peanut butter or seeds near the exit.
• Stay calm and quiet to avoid scaring the animal further inside.

Once caught, release the chipmunk outdoors away from your home. Always handle traps with care and wear gloves for safety.

Chipmunks are especially drawn to foods that are both aromatic and easy to carry. Some favorites include:

• Peanut butter – Its scent is hard for chipmunks to resist.
• Sunflower seeds – A classic snack for these small rodents.
• Cracked corn or oats – These grains can also be effective.

Try placing a small amount of bait at the trigger end of the trap for best results. Refresh the bait regularly to keep it appealing.
