Frequently Asked Questions
Are chipmunks damaging my foundation?
Chipmunk burrows near foundations can allow water infiltration and potentially undermine structural support over time. The greater concern is often their entry into homes through foundation gaps where they can access walls and attic spaces.
How do I keep chipmunks out of my garden?
Hardware cloth barriers buried 6 inches deep around garden beds exclude burrowing chipmunks. Removing bird feeders eliminates a major food source. Clearing rock piles and wood stacks near gardens removes cover. Live trapping reduces populations.
Can you treat chipmunks in Athens's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Athens properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
