Will it keep chipmunks off the feeder?

Most likely - I have one of these on the pole of bird feeder and the only visitors are birds.

Yes! It has ours. Just make sure feeder is away from anything they can jump from or stretch from. They're pretty inventive. If they can still get up pole, place the baffle a little higher. That worked for us. Good Luck!

It has worked well with squirrels, raccoons and cats. I think it would work with chipmunks too. The area between the baffle and pole is too small for a chipmunk to go through.

It works for squirrels and chipmunks. Place at least 4 feet or higher up the pole and put the feeder where they can't jump to it.

I believe it will, the openings on the bottom should be large enough, but I never tried peanuts. It has kept the squirrels out.

My experience says it won't keep anything away. The deer stroll right up and eat my fuchsias. The squirrels still dig holes in my garden and planters. As for birds, they still empty the bird feeder three feet away from the unit.

I've not had that problem and I'm not quite sure. The plastic covering the top may prevent the rats. I know the wire around the feeder sure helps keep the doves and pigeons out. Good luck.

I'm sure it will, I put it in my bird seed that was up on a pole, but, it definitely kept the squirrels away. Add more to spice up the seed, I'm sure the chipmunks won't like that.

I'm not sure if it will prevent them from eating at the feeder. The doves at our feeder eat off of the ground though. Maybe that is why?

I don't know if this suet feeder would prevent woodpeckers from drilling into your home, I have several woodpeckers that feed from this feeder, but theyfly away after feeding and come back later, so you could try and put a couple of them out in your yard and perhaps they will feed from it and then fly awayand leave your house alone!.

mine is just under the hanging bird food. If that is too low, then chipmunk or squirrel can jump on top of that.

Instead of this expensive cover, if you want to hang feeder from above, simply go to HomeDepot, buy 2' of 3/32" SS wire and aluminum connectors so you can make 3 or 4" loops each end. Then hang Big "S" popular hanger or loop a branch and hang feeder box at bottom wire loop. Squirrels or chipmunks cannot climb up or down the small (3/32") wire. I have watched them briefly try and give up. BTW, what's wrong with squirrels and chipmunks? Give them a second feeder with dried corn etc. or let them glean on the grass or ground below feeders. There is always plenty down there.

it may help some--but chipmunks and squirrels could still get under it unless it was secured at the ground

Can't help you - No chipmunks here in mid Florida. I would expect it would prevent them from raiding the sunflower supply, but if they find a way to get to it their little critter crew might make the squirrels look like dieters!

I don't think these are nearly strong enough or large enough for chipmunks. We have lots of chipmunks around our house but they don't try to nest in our home. If they are trying to do that perhaps you need to deter by using mothballs along the interior of your basement or interior to wherever they are entering- it doesn't kill but works as a deterrent...and also keeps spiders out!

I have never seen a chipmunk on this suet feeder. They have not been able to outsmart the fact they must hang upside down. Now the starlings are another story. Now and then there will be a couple of very agile starlings who can manage to hang upside down and eat the suet for about 1-2 minutes at a time.

Hi, I am a bird & squirrel photographer & this feeder makes the cutest photos. . The squirrels will empty it pretty quickly but mine seem scared to go down the opening very far in case they get stuck. I take my feeder into the house if I am not watching it as even the chipmunks can empty it very fast.

I use it for mice all the time, works great. They usually spend the night in the trap, eat all the bait, usually ricotta, canned cat food, or any other bait that will easily "stick" to the trigger. I'm not sure if it would be big enough for a "large" chipmunk, but for smaller ones, I think it would work OK. If your Chips are on the larger side, Havahart makes a larger version that would probably work for either mice, or chipmunks. I highly recommend Havahart traps. They're a little tricky to arm till you get the hang of it, but it doesn't take long, and after that, your mouse problem is simply a matter of time. I use it for mice all the time, works great.

It's not been a problem with our peanut feeder as we have it hanging on a hook where a squirrel guard is attached. That's a rather simple solution!

Not sure about squirrels but it does stop birds eating fruits. Make sure fruits are not touching the net.
