My yard is being overrun with those cutesy chipmunks. Any dog-friendly
cures?
I've tried cut-up hot peppers down the hole, but without much success. On
one hole I tried flooding them out with the garden hose but that didn't work
either.

I've about had it with my population, too. They've undermined my
aboveground pool; have holes everywhere; have eaten too many pepper
plants. . ..

I'm going to go with Trapper John's cure
[http://asktrapperjohn.com/faq.htm ] and make bait stations loaded
with Ro-Dex.

He doesn't describe the bait station very well-- but what I've seen
online is- a pair of 24" 3-4" pvc with a reducing T between.
The 1 1/2 leg is just high enough for access to drop the bait in and
capped to keep critters and rain out.

The chipmunks go to their holes to die.
