Chipmunk Removal & Control Services

Chipmunks may look small and harmless, but when they become established around homes, they can cause serious damage to landscaping, foundations, and hardscaping. Cingo Home provides professional, humane chipmunk removal and control services to protect your property and prevent ongoing damage.

Chipmunks

The Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) is a small, ground-dwelling rodent commonly found in wooded areas, suburbs, and residential neighborhoods. Chipmunks are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, and are often seen darting across yards, gardens, patios, and driveways.

Unlike squirrels, chipmunks spend most of their time underground. They create extensive burrow systems beneath lawns, landscaping, foundations, and hard surfaces. While they may climb trees or shrubs for food or safety, their nesting and storage areas are typically located below ground.

Chipmunk Behavior & Nesting Habits

Because chipmunks cache food underground and defend their territory, populations can increase quickly when conditions are favorable. In urban environments, a single yard may support large numbers if left unchecked.

  • Daytime (diurnal) activity

  • Extensive underground burrow systems (often 30 feet or more)

  • Multiple chambers used for nesting and food storage

  • Burrow entrances kept clean and free of excavated soil

  • Diet of grains, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, insects, and occasional carrion

Damage Caused by Chipmunks

Chipmunks can cause widespread and ongoing property damage, especially over time. Their burrowing behavior and feeding habits can negatively impact both structural and landscape elements. Common chipmunk-related problems include:

  • Burrowing beneath driveways, sidewalks, patios, and retaining walls

  • Undermining foundations and hardscaping

  • Damage to gardens, flowerbeds, and landscaping

  • Digging up and consuming flower bulbs

  • Gnawing into bags of bird seed or pet food

  • Attraction of additional pests to burrow systems
