I trap 50 to 125 Chipmunks every year. I use a Victor rat trap. There is a point you can bend up on the trigger, on this impale a Chinese Chestnut, acorn, peanut, or nut local for your area on it. My brother in Minnesota uses a Vitor rat trap with the yellow pan with peanut butter and sunflower seeds. I place the trap in front of holes or along side buildings where they run

I have used my weasel boxes with the wide pan rat trap inside. Bait with corn, peanuts or sunflower seeds. Pets or birds can't access either.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

You may take a few birds with your traps out in the open. Yup Usually bluejays here. Every once in a while a catbird

Rat trap with half a pecan wired to the bait trigger next to the hole= instant death to the striped rodent!

springs may be to strong = to heavy a pan on your #2's plus there is no reason to push up the pan set the trap flat and prop the loose jaw at 90 degrees lay a board on it/ behind it ,cut bigger pans out of cardboard or old shingles attach wit paper clips or hot glue corn to the pan suckers will work all day to carry it off

Probably a scent problem. What is your scent management plan? Rubber gloves are a must! Hazmat suit helps too.
Packing their burrows may prevent them from exiting.
