Chipmunks

Chipmunks removal experts

Chipmunks are primarily diurnal (active during the day). They are commonly called ground squirrels because they dig extensive tunnel systems in the ground and live in the tunnels and burrows. They generally breed in the spring and fall and will have 2 litters a year with a gestation period of 1 month. Their eating habits are similar to other squirrels. Chipmunks can cause problems for people. When their food becomes scarce, they will feed on the roots of plants and shrubs, and can destroy your plants and shrubs in the yard. Chipmunks can also undermine foundations, driveways, and sidewalks by their tunneling and removing the dirt from underneath these areas. Rain and water erodes even more dirt and can cause serious problems in the future. They can be controlled but not eradicated using aggressive trapping methods.
