Got five today.

Yes, this works. However, as I found out, deer will show up and eat the seeds too.

Awesome trap. Thanks for the videos! We've been terrorized by chipmunks digging holes in the lawns and gardens, eating the flowers, etc. I got back from a garden store a half hour ago with some black oil sunflower seeds and a small bag of peanuts in the shell. I put two traps together in five minutes, sprinkled the sunflower seeds over the water and set the traps out, one in the front yard and one in the back. I took the advice of another commenter and placed a few peanuts in a "triangle" in the center on top of the seeds so I know if the trap's been disturbed, but within five minutes, I had a fat chipmunk checking out the front yard trap...and plop! In the trap! 10 minutes later I looked out the back window and found a second eating the seeds on the ramp for the back yard trap....then he got greedy and hopped right in. Splash! 2 chipmunks in minutes. Now the ramps are re-seeded and the peanuts placed strategically...time to find out how big a colony of "cute rats' I'm dealing with. Thanks again!

Where do you place the trap?

I try this and it doesn’t work

Tried that. It doesn’t work for me the squirrels eat the seed I put on the wood

THIS WORKS!!!!!!!

And the squirrels will hang from the bucket lip by their hind feet and vhow down on the seeds. You might be getting rid of chipmonks but you're attracting squirrels. This is a good process for chipmonks though. It works.

How about a bucket with seeds inside not the water so they don’t die must be painful probably will work I did it and I listen to wild thanks

Only a sick human would do this, if you must take an animals life make it quick. This is torture

How do you keep deer away?

Thumbs UP!!!!!! I had chipmunks eating my hybiscus buds and my gardinia buds.....it was WAR. I tried this method and I had 1 within 5 minutes and a second in another bucket within 10 minutes. In the last 24 hours I have caught 11 chipmunks and I now see none in sight and my buds are just fine. I put alittle peanut butter with some seeds stuck to it going up the ramp and that worked even better. Thank you soooooooooo much for this. My husband had tried the teater totter and the beer can on a coat hanger. ..mmmmmm nothing.....so I WON and am so happy ..... May they rest in peace ..... I said a prayer while I put them in zip lock bag.......

Got 4 in the last 2 days! Best thing I have tried.

Caught 8 in one day in this trap

I don’t have sunflower seeds what shall l use

How often do you toss the water, after every kill? Do you wash out the bucket with soap at that time?

It worked like a charm. Last year it got out of a rat snap trap twice. Back yard is clear, now for the front yard.😉 My wife thanks you.

You didn’t even bother to show the results. Epic Fail

What do you do once the squirrels catch on an they eat all the seed out of the bucket!

THIS IS A GOOD IDEA, BUT... ANYONE THAT HAS A DOG OR CAT - DO NOT USE A SMALL BUCKET / WATER CONATINER - USE AN OPEN TOP 55 GALLON DRUM and a longer ramp. Chipmunks, squirrels, rats and mice carry diseases and fleas... when dead they contaminates the water. Then the cat/dog drinks the water. The cat/dog gets sick. A tall 55 gallon drum is tall enough that the cat/dog can't drink from it.

Serious question: does it matter if the sunflower seeds are salted or not?

It works great, buy Ugh! We caught 36 in 3 days in our normal suburban yard. When does it end?? Ever?

Absolutely worked, thanks so much!

Would these work for squirrels?

The people disliking drowning them have clearly never had their lawn overrun by these. They punch holes everywhere and tunnel during the winter, killing the lawn. That's if you're lucky and they don't nest in your car or walls.

Thank you so much! Sadly, I managed to catch 6 within 3 hours. This video really helped, thank you very much. Side note, spray “Pam” or alternative around area around the wood bridge, after I did that instant results. Thanks again!

I thought chipmunks were the cutest thing...until I bought a house and they chewed the insulation and some wires. I'm going to try this bucket today!!

this sucks D:<

My mom had a severe mouse problem. I used this type trap and got 22 mice in 3 days. Simple and very effective!

Will it kill the Chip??!?! Cuz I just want a chipmunk pet!!!

how cruel have humans got?? ik that chipmunks chew threw wirings and pipes, but their are other non brutal ways to keep them away! every life is precious! you may not realize one day when you kill one, it may have babies and those babies are at risk if you kill the parents! this is animal cruelty!!!

Protected pest here in canada....

How do you dispose of them afterward? Just put them in the weekly trash??

Thank you! This one really worked! I tried all others (rolling bar. etc. and even try to buy a air dun to hunting them...) This is oerfect way to get ride of them...

works great 14 and counting

Works like a charm, 8 so far on first day. Thank you.

This works great. Caught four the first day.

Are the sun flower seeds salted?

Thanks for this! I had a chipmunk in the basement and for the cost of a bag of sunflower seeds, that problem is now over. Now I have to figure out how he got in here. . . . .

I let the chipmunks be until this year when they started going after my garden. This trap is working amazingly well. It is to the point that whatever is eating the buried ones is catching critters (moles/voles) and leaving them for me. Thanks for sharing this.

I set this up last night, using a plank, some peanut butter and seeds. Chipmunk or whatever just ate the seeds at the bottom, seeds and peanut butter still on the plank, nothing in water.

Works like a champ Put this out this morning and by noon I had 4 in the bucket

I personally use a rat trap with peanut butter. Quick and painless.

I just set two buckets myself, hoping to get a few kill by tomorrow. They have all this land but decide to seek refugee close to my house. No mercy shown here...

You're going to hell! I was trying to catch a chipmunk for a pet!

get a cat, they love the shit monks.

you catch any mice in it?

I tried this and the raccoon family ate all of the seeds the first day. saw the babies just sitting inside the bucket eating - so does not work to leave this outside for chipmunks

This trap worked within 30 minutes!!! I almost had him within 5 minutes (no exaggeration) he was hanging on by one foot then got scared and left. Got him the second time he came back. Thanks man!
