- Holes near foundations, walkways, patios or garden walls
- Dug-up bulbs and plants
- Chipmunks running along fences and walls during the day
Why Chipmunk Burrows Matter
Chipmunk tunnels can run several metres underground. Near a foundation, patio or walkway, they can let soil wash out, which may cause stones to sink or shift over time. Chipmunks are active from spring to fall and spend most of winter underground.
How We Handle Chipmunks
- Inspection of burrow locations and activity.
- Plan and price before we start.
- Removal using methods suited to chipmunks and the season.
- Prevention advice to make the area less attractive and harder to dig into.
Tips to Discourage Chipmunks
- Keep bird seed off the ground and feeders away from the house
- Use gravel or stone borders instead of mulch right beside the foundation
- Clear wood piles and clutter near the home
