Chipmunk Removal

The Kansas City Metro Area Pest & Wildlife Control

It may not seem like chipmunks can cause much of a problem, but when a population moves onto your property, you will likely begin to notice damage to flower beds, retaining walls or brick patios. Catch-It Wildlife & Pest Control has experience removing chipmunks in almost every circumstance so they stop damaging your lawn and structures.

What Kind of Damage Can Chipmunk Cause?

Chipmunks do not generally cause structural damage, but they are more of a nuisance. They can bother guests, pets and even get into your house. Besides being a nuisance, they can also consume bird seed, grass seed, flowers or pet food that is not stored in airtight containers. If the chipmunk population is left unchecked, they may burrow under patios or stairs and make their way into retention walls or foundations. Chipmunk burrows are usually well-hidden. They’re clever little critters: they actually stuff their cheeks with the excavated dirt and scatter this dirt throughout the lawn to help conceal their den entrances and exit holes, and typically they have several of each. Which prevents the old “I’ll stick the hose in there and flood them out” routine.

Really, the biggest problem with chipmunks is that when they do remove the dirt under your sidewalk or concrete porch, they are leaving a void. If left uncontrolled they can eventually remove enough soil to cause the sidewalk and porch to crack or partially collapse from the weight of the concrete, as they leave nothing to help hold up the weight of the concrete structure.

“I was concerned about having so many chipmunks digging under my house, so Catch-it came and set up bait stations around the foundation. They return every couple of months to check them and add more bait…. I didn't see any live chipmunks running around outside my house this summer…”

Can You Get Rid of Chipmunks Yourself?

Chipmunks are not protected by any Federal law. In most states, including Missouri, chipmunks can be trapped or killed when they are causing damage. However, doing this yourself can be difficult and time consuming. Small commercially manufactured or homemade traps can be used to catch chipmunks in your yard. After catching them, they should be released at least 10 miles away from their capture point.

However, luring chipmunks into your own traps requires some expertise and a lot of time. If you have a chipmunk problem that needs to be solved quickly, it is usually recommended that you seek out a qualified professional chipmunk control service.
