Chipmunk Control & Removal
Protect your home's foundation and landscaping from the destructive burrowing of chipmunks.
Call for Chipmunk ControlSmall Animal, Big Damage
Don't be fooled by their size. Chipmunk colonies excavate massive tunnel networks.
Structural Instability
Chipmunks burrow under concrete stairs, patios, and foundations. Removing the supporting dirt causes concrete to crack and sink over time.
Water Drainage Issues
Their tunnels can channel water toward your foundation instead of away from it, leading to wet basements and erosion.
Garden Destruction
Chipmunks are notorious for digging up flower bulbs and eating seeds, destroying expensive landscaping overnight.
Why Ignoring Them Is Expensive
A $5 bulb is one thing. A $5,000 concrete repair is another.
Patio & Stoop Collapse
Chipmunks love digging under concrete slabs because it's a "roof" they don't have to build. They remove the dirt supporting the concrete.
The Consequence:
Over time, the slab cracks and tilts. We often see front steps pulling away from the house, creating water leaks into the basement.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls rely on the soil behind them for stability. Chipmunk tunnels create voids that fill with water during rainstorms.
The Consequence:
The water pressure ("hydrostatic pressure") builds up and blows out the wall, or causes it to lean and eventually collapse.
Chipmunk Control Costs
Trapping Program (Flat Fee)
We charge a program fee to set multiple traps and reduce the population. This is necessary before sealing holes, otherwise you trap them inside.
Exclusion (Linear Foot)
To save your patio, we dig a small trench and install L-shaped wire mesh. We price this by the foot. We provide a free quote for this service.
Our Chipmunk Control Solution
1. Population Reduction
Trapping is the only effective way to remove an established colony. We use safe, targeted traps.
2. Exclusion Barriers
We install L-shaped wire barriers around foundations and patios to prevent new chipmunks from digging under.
3. Habitat Modification
We advise on removing wood piles and rock walls that provide shelter, making your yard less attractive.
