Common Chipmunk Issues in Louisville

Structural Damage

Chipmunks create extensive burrow systems that can undermine foundations, patios, and walkways. Their burrowing can also damage retaining walls and other landscape features.

Garden Destruction

Chipmunks feed on bulbs, seeds, and plants, causing damage to gardens and flower beds. They also store large quantities of food in their burrows, attracting other pests.

Property Access

Chipmunks may enter buildings through small openings, creating nests in walls or attics. Their presence can lead to noise issues and potential damage to insulation and wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions - Chipmunk Control

How do I know if I have chipmunks?

Common signs include small burrow openings (about 2 inches in diameter), piles of shells or seed hulls, damage to bulbs and plants, and frequent sightings of chipmunks during daylight hours. You may also hear chirping sounds near burrow entrances.

Can chipmunks damage my home's foundation?

Yes, extensive chipmunk burrow systems near foundations can lead to settling and structural issues. Professional assessment and control measures are recommended when burrows are discovered near buildings.

What is the best time for chipmunk control?

While we provide year-round service, early spring (before breeding season) and fall are optimal times for control measures. However, immediate action is recommended when chipmunks are causing property damage regardless of season.
