Get tired of trapping chipmunks in June. Once they start dispersing I am over run from neighboring property's. I run the high end Bell laboratory baits in my barns and knocks mice and rats out. Thought about putting some bait stations out around the house.

Is it labeled for chipmunks?

The problem with chipmunks and bait is chipmunks dont immediately consume the bait. They’ll put it in their cheek pouches, then store it for winter. In winter, they’ll eat it down in the den. In the mean time they store an awful lot of expensive bait.

Good point, I see mice and rats do the same thing when more palatable food is available.
