When I moved in my house around 17 years ago, I was plagued by chipmunks. They were damaging my concrete under the garage to the point of shifting the concrete from all their tunnels. I had enough & started to actively trap them with a small havahart trap using peanut butter. I would trap them & relocate them at my shop which has a lot of wilderness. 1 year I trapped 65 of them! I have only caught 1 this year, so that being said, the population has decreased.
We also have a fair amount of squirrels but the hawks are taking care of that. 1 time & watched a hawk swoop down, grab a squirrel, fly over to a post in the neighbors yard & devour the whole thing tail & all.
