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.
Why do Calais homes have more chipmunks problems?
Calais's proximity to water creates humidity that chipmunks thrive in. We address both the immediate infestation and the underlying moisture conditions that attract these pests.
