You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Chipmunks are cute, but they sometimes can be a pain as well. One way to get rid of them is to put Juicy Fruit gum pieces in their burrows. Do not chew the gum. In fact, do not let it touch human hands. Take the gum out of the wrapper, a few pieces will do, with gloves on. Place the pieces near the burrows, and the chipmunks will be disgusted at the scent. Remember, they should not sense that a human has put the gum there.

Sprinkle cayenne pepper around whatever it is they're eating. Generally if they're living somewhere, there's a food source nearby. All mammals feel the heat of cayenne, and it won't bother the birds.

Use red or cayenne and babypowder to make a mix. Spray or sprinkle around the problem areas and the critters scram. A dry atomizer works well for this or an empty can with lots of tiny holes poked in the bottom. You can sprinkle the mixture on flowers, veggies or trees. Wildlife tends to chomp on things with mild odors and avoids stuff with strong odors.

Please credit original authors for their ideas.
