Hmm... We've never had chipmunks try to get in the house, other than the
odd time they might 'explore' if you leave a door wide open.

Mice are another story.. This year is very light on mice for some
reason but last year at this time, just before the snow covers
the ground seriously, I caught about 20 of them over a couple
of weeks.. They happily live outside all summer but, come the
cold weather, they come looking for warmer places to make a nest.

So far this year I've only caught one..
