Believe it or not, moth balls work like a charm, and they work for some bugs, too! Once the squirrels are out for the day, put the loose moth balls along the rafters, along the floor where is meets the ceiling, and in or near their nest if you find it (do it during the day while they are out, not at night - you don't want a confrontation). You'll probably need alot of moth balls at first, so buy a few boxes (good news - they're cheap!). Once the squirrels are gone, look around inside your garage's roofline to see how they got in to begin with, and then seal it up - look for where there's light coming in - that's your first hint! They can squeeze into crevises much smaller than you would think, so be thorough. Good luck!

For prevention, chipmunks go into garages for food. Usually garbage cans are the primary reason they go in. Try and store garbage outside.

Once they are inside the garage, I have used two methods to catch them. One being a live trap baited with peanut butter. Another is Rat sticky traps. The problem with the sticky traps is, it catches the chipmunk in glue but does not kill it. You have to do this yourself which some people can have a problem with that.

The easiest way to get rid of chipmunks is to use a battery operated device called that Rat Zapper. I have added a link to the rat zapper below.

If you cut a hole in the ceiling and trace it with food to come out, then you can catch it with a cage.
