Identifying Chipmunk Activity
Signs / Of A / Chipmunk Infestation.
Chipmunks can cause significant damage to your home's foundation and landscaping. Recognizing these early warning signs is the first step toward effective removal and prevention.
IDENTIFICATION
Burrow Entrances
Look for small, circular holes (2-3 inches wide) near foundations, walkways, or garden beds, often without a mound of dirt.
STRUCTURAL
Foundation Damage
Chipmunks can undermine concrete slabs, patios, and walkways by excavating extensive tunnel systems beneath your property.
GARDEN
Plant Destruction
Sudden loss of bulbs, seeds, or seedlings in your garden is a primary indicator of chipmunk activity and foraging behavior.
PREVENTION
Entry Point Sealing
We identify and seal potential entry points around your home's perimeter to prevent chipmunks from nesting in crawlspaces.
ACTIVITY
Visual Sightings
Frequent sightings of chipmunks darting along fence lines or scurrying near your home's foundation often indicate a nearby colony.
URGENCY
Rapid Reproduction
Chipmunks reproduce quickly; early intervention is critical to prevent a small nuisance from becoming a major infestation.

Common Questions
Chipmunk Removal Insights
Expert answers to the most common questions we receive about chipmunk control and property protection in Indiana.
How do I know if I have a chipmunk infestation?
Look for small, circular entry holes around your foundation, patio, or garden beds. You might also notice missing bulbs, damaged vegetable gardens, or hear scratching sounds under your porch or deck. Chipmunks are most active during the day, so keep an eye out for them darting near your home's perimeter.

Chipmunks are most active during the day, so keep an eye out for them darting near your home's perimeter.
Are chipmunks dangerous to my home's structure?
Yes, they can be. While small, their burrowing habits can undermine concrete slabs, walkways, and foundations. Over time, these tunnels can lead to soil erosion and structural instability. They also frequently chew on electrical wiring and insulation if they gain access to crawlspaces or attics.
Do you use humane removal methods?
Absolutely. We prioritize humane trapping and relocation techniques. Our goal is to resolve your chipmunk problem effectively while adhering to all local wildlife regulations. We focus on safe, ethical removal and then implement exclusion strategies to ensure they don't return.
What is the best way to prevent chipmunks from returning?
Exclusion is key. We seal potential entry points around your foundation and install hardware cloth barriers where necessary. We also recommend removing food sources like bird feeders, fallen fruit, or pet food left outdoors, which are primary attractants for nuisance wildlife.
Do you offer emergency chipmunk removal services?
Yes, we understand that wildlife issues can be stressful. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Emergency wildlife calls are accepted after hours and will receive attention. For urgent situations where chipmunks or other wildlife have gained access to your living space, call anytime — weekend wildlife emergencies are handled as needed.
How long does the chipmunk removal process take?
The timeline varies based on the size of the infestation and the complexity of your property. After our initial inspection, we provide a clear plan of action. Most residential jobs are resolved within a few days, followed by the installation of preventative measures to keep your home secure.
What is included in your inspection service?
