Chipmunk Removal

When you think of chipmunks, you probably think of stuffed cheeks and high-pitched harmonizing. OK, the second part is up for debate. Fortunately for everyone, most chipmunks don’t sing, but they do pack a surprising punch when it comes to property damage. Here in the Southeast, chipmunks are known to burrow beneath patios and foundations, uproot garden plants, and sometimes slip indoors to steal food or gnaw on wiring. Since they’re so elusive, you often need professional chipmunk control to get rid of them.

What Is Chipmunk Exclusion?

“Exclusion” is the practice of sealing off entry points and reinforcing vulnerable areas to keep animals from getting into your home or yard. For chipmunk exclusion, we focus on blocking burrow entrances, patching gaps near foundations or decks, and installing barriers that prevent them from digging or climbing into your property. Our technicians specialize in chipmunk exclusion, ensuring that once these critters are gone, they stay gone.

Common Signs You May Have a Chipmunk Problem

With many types of rodents and wildlife, the signs will look similar and it can be difficult to tell which rodent you’re dealing with. With chipmunks, it’s important to remember that they like to burrow – and they’re shy. So evidence of chipmunks will often appear in more hidden areas.

• Burrow Openings and Small Tunnels: Chipmunks often create shallow tunnels and entrances near decks, steps, and garden beds, leaving subtle dirt mounds behind.
• Nibbled Plants and Bulbs: Missing flowers, half-eaten produce, and uprooted bulbs may point to hungry chipmunks using your garden as a buffet.
• Droppings in Hidden Areas: If they venture indoors, you might spot small droppings in basements, crawl spaces, or garages.
• Scurrying Sounds (Most Active at Dusk and Dawn): Although chipmunks are primarily diurnal, they’re very active at dusk and dawn and you’ll often hear their rustling around these times. Keep an ear out for subtle scuffling in walls or attic spaces.
• Trampled Birdseed and Messy Feeders: Chipmunks love snacking on spilled seeds beneath feeders, and if they can squeeze in, they’ll gladly turn it into their personal pantry.

Are Gophers and Chipmunks the Same?

Homeowners sometimes mistake chipmunks for gophers and vice versa. While there are similarities, these two animals are quite different, and understanding their differences helps ensure you get the right solution:

• Dietary Habits: Gophers feed primarily on roots, bulbs, and other underground plant parts. Chipmunks have a more varied diet, munching seeds, nuts, fruits, and tender greens above ground.
• Habitat and Tunneling: Gophers create extensive underground burrow systems that can damage turf and gardens at their roots. Chipmunks do burrow, but their networks tend to be shallower and less extensive, often accompanied by visible holes near structures or landscaped areas.
• Appearance: Gophers are stockier, with short tails and prominent front teeth suited for digging. Chipmunks are smaller, with distinctive stripes running along their backs.
