Air Gun for chipmunk in city limit

[henktermaat]

I've gotten one coon at point blank, and a few others who died overnight of lead poisoning.

I spread fox urine around the outside of my deck. Keeps chipmunks and raccoons away. It's difficult to get the fox to pee where you want them to, so I've resorted to purchasing the crystalline stuff.

Where do you get it?

There are several Indiana retailers. I think I got it at ACE Hardware in Fishers.

Thanks!

While I enjoy the pellet gun method, I don't always have time to lay in the rain waiting for them to come.

Does it work on coons?

My cat does a good job. He has got four of them the last couple weeks.

Either you're talking about chipmunks or your cat used to belong to Chuck Norris if it's gotten 4 raccoons.

Okay, maybe it's because I haven't had coffee today, but my first reaction when reading the thread title was "Why would a chipmunk need an air rifle in the first place???"

I have a Benjamin Sheridan pellet gun. It packs a punch with 8+ pumps.

Aguila super colibri .22 works fine also....so I've heard.

A guy here at work just got a Crossman Extreme G1 for chipmunks. Bagged his first one yesterday at about 60 feet. He loves his.

I am having a similar problem. Last year I live trapped several rabbits and chippies and relocated them to my office. This year they will not go in the live traps! Ive tried several kinds of bait. So I have been using a borrowed Gamo Whisper. 2 less rabbits, 2 less chippies in my area.

Fishers has a "no projectile" ordinance so stealth is a must.

+1 on Super Colibri......out of my 10/22 it is quieter than a decent break-barrel pellet gun.

I know what you mean. When I was younger sittin' in the rain, drinkin' beer and wastin' bullets was more appealing. Raccoons are not on their published pest list, but I've noticed a major reduction in them since I started using the product. Could be the fox urine, or could be the real coyotes.

I have stopped chipmunk problems before they started with the .177 solution.
Strawberry plants were bringing them in, Gamo hunter was taking them out. I haven't had an issue after 2 were taken.
As for the bigger critters, possums have met the .177 solution with well placed neck shots. Racoons get the live trap and a ride outside city limits for the .22 solution, but I haven't had a coon problem since I moved from UT.

I prefer to put peanut butter on the rim in addition to the sunflower seeds. Seems to attract them better. As well, you can use olive oil on the inside of the bucket so they slide down to their deaths.

I have flagstone walls for the landscaping on the front yard (which is a hill) so I am rife with chipmunks. I don't use rat traps or shot because of the neighbors' children.

This is great. The lawyer puts a 5 gallon bucket outside, with water in it and baited with peanut butter, sunflower seeds and slickened with olive oil, but a rat trap might hurt the kids?!?

Ok why is that great? Peanut butter, sunflower seeds and olive oil? none of these would hurt a kid.

Remember, if you are shooting chipmunks from inside your bedroom ensure that you clear the muzzle, then clear your sights or you will put a .177 hole in your window frame . . . a . . . um, er, friend told me about this.

Now THAT's Funny!

A pellet gun at point blank to the head can kill a racoon or possum.

A POSSUM??? I dont Think so... I took on one of those bastards with a .22 once and practically ran the Magazine out... maybe 8+ God I hate Possums! Hissing Overgrown Rats!

I have 3 burried under a tree that says it can. Live trap .177 to the forehead. Goodnight! Between the eyes is a no go though.

I have built a couple of box traps. I use them on chipmunks, rabbits, and stray cats. This allows you to live trap them, and then take the traps in the garage, shut the door, and eliminate the problem any way you see fit....or drive them out of your neighborhood and give them to someone else.

They work great.

Live trap the coons and take them out of city limits on a date with your 22.
