Glenside wildlife control tip of the month:

How to Get Rid of Chipmunks

In spite of being cute and funny, chipmunks can be a Glenside animal control problem if they are found in a garden or yard. Sometimes you can even find them in your own house, so when that happens, just block all places where it can hide and open the door or window. The chipmunk will gladly get out on its own. You can help it by using a blanket to direct it to the door. Of course, you could always call professional help. If they are found in the yard, one thing you definitely have to do is to keep your yard clean and tidy. That means you have to mow it regularly, keep it free from any debris under which they could hide or make a burrow. Build barriers from hardware cloth, and that will keep away not only chipmunks, but many other pests.

Another thing people try is repellents, which is definitely not a good idea. First of all, most Glenside pest control repellents are poisonous chemicals which in most cases do not work on the pest you want to keep away, and they can poison you or your pets or children. Pests get accustomed to the smell of a repellent and they do not care if you placed it. Moth balls are first choice, ammonia is also used, some fungicides etc. People say if you want to use Glenside wildlife removal repellents, you should change them often, but if you think about it, you are placing a lot of different varieties of poison in your environment, so is there any discussion on this matter necessary? Poisoning is another option, but also not advisable because those poisons can end up in your pets that eat the carcass, other maybe protected animals could eat them, so give up that option. Natural repellents are an option to, like predator scented ones; cone shaped metal baffles, thistle and safflower seeds. Fences should also be considered, and that might be the best Glenside animal trapping solution.

Traps Glenside exterminator people use can be live ones and lethal. The simplest lethal trap you can use is a rat trap, but it leaves a lot of mess and it is very painful for the animal. Live traps are a good option, but if you have many chipmunks, they will not be of much help. Box traps or mesh wire traps are used, just place peanuts and seeds. Once they are caught, you should release them according to regulations.
