Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Okay ladies, here is my problem. Tuesday I saw a chipmunk in the dining room. Of course is ran and hind behind the cabinets. I had to go get my son from school. I left the back door open when I was picking him up and hoped it would leave. When I got home I search the house for the little rodent and found no sign. So I thought it left. I was wrong, today I walk into the kitchen and the damn thing was there, it ran into the mudroom and I assume down to the basement. Bad timing for me because my husband is out of town for a wedding and I am on my own with trying to get rid of this thing. So I got a piece of wood and screwed it to the kitchen doorway to prevent it from getting into the rest of the house. I spent the afternoon with the back door open again hoping the thing will leave. I called animal control but they don't have traps small enough to catch something as small as a chipmunk. They told me to play a radio really loud in the basement to scare it out. Surprise my portable radio it broken. So instead I went to the back of the basement will a bat and started banging on all the boxes as I made my way toward the door. Still no sign of the chipmunk. I don't know how I will know if it has left. I for a moment thought about sprinkling flour by the back door so I would see footprints leaving the house. But when I stop and thought about it, I decided that I don't want ants on top of this problem, or even worse bring in another chipmunk. Now I am afraid to leave on the floor. Can you believe it? I am thinking about getting a rattrap. Yikes. I used to think it was nice to have a family of chipmunks living in my backyard, but not anymore. Help!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Where do you live? You can borrow one of my cats. They get anything that finds it's way into the house. We had a flying squirrel last year! Before we got our chimney fluted, several bats fell victims as well. My cousin had a chipmunk in the house. It tore up her kitchen big time. Her cat chased it out the door. Good luck. I am sure you aren't sleeping well! > Okay ladies, here is my problem. Tuesday I saw a chipmunk in the > dining room.
