Small round openings near foundations, patios, steps, sheds, or retaining walls; daytime sightings; stored-food damage; and gnawing can point to chipmunk activity.
Chipmunks seek seeds, nuts, insects, water, cover, and nesting space. Bird feeders, dense plantings, woodpiles, gaps, and sheltered edges can make a property attractive.
Burrows often run beneath rocks, logs, sheds, patios, stairs, retaining walls, decks, and foundation edges; entrance holes may show little loose soil.
An exterminator for chipmunks can distinguish active burrows from abandoned holes, choose lawful removal methods, and time exclusion so animals are not sealed inside.
Effective chipmunk removal services start with finding active burrows and separating outdoor activity from entry into a structure. The inspection should cover foundations, retaining walls, patios, decks, sheds, crawlspaces, utility penetrations, and nearby food sources. A property-specific plan can then combine trapping, removal, repair, and prevention steps instead of treating every hole as an active nest.
When present in very large numbers, ground squirrels can cause structural damage. They burrow under foundations, retention walls and patios. Chipmunks can cause structural damage to sidewalks, stairs or even foundations. Once under your home they can quickly damage electrical wires, insulation, and even ductwork.
The best way to take care of chipmunks and ground squirrels is by trapping them. QualityPro is expert at trapping chipmunks. We know where to set the traps to capture these burrowing animals and we will remove them from your property.

A chipmunk’s length from head to toes is 5-7 inches and their tails are generally 3 to 4 inches in length. They weigh 2 to 5 ounces and are reddish-brown with one white stripe on each side that is bordered in black.
Chipmunks are not shy and are known to make their homes near residential structures. Even though it is a good climber, the chipmunk spends little time in trees. It forages the ground in its territory and makes its nest underground, beneath rocks, fallen logs, or even sheds.
Their omnivorous diet consists of grain, nuts, birds’ eggs, fungi, worms, and insects. At the beginning of autumn, many species of chipmunk begin to stockpile these goods in their burrows for winter.
Chipmunks have 2 litters per year of approximately 4 young, one in spring, the second in the summer to early fall.
After trapping, remove spilled birdseed, manage dense ground cover, store pet food, and repair openings once the technician confirms activity has ended. Trying to remove a chipmunk burrow by filling it too soon may redirect animals toward another opening or leave them inside a void.
Small burrow openings can lead to repeat activity, soil displacement, and access beneath steps, patios, or foundations. Call QualityPro at 914-877-3006 or request an inspection through the online contact form today. A licensed wildlife technician will inspect the activity, identify likely burrows and structural access points, and recommend targeted trapping, removal, exclusion, or repair steps for your Westchester County property. Do not wait for a few sightings to become an established problem.
Start with an inspection to confirm the animal, locate its route, and check for dependent young. A licensed operator can then select lawful trapping or removal methods. Openings should be sealed only after the chipmunks are out, followed by cleanup or repairs where needed.
Yes. Burrowing beneath steps, patios, retaining walls, decks, and foundation edges can displace supporting soil, especially when activity is extensive. Chipmunks that reach structural spaces may also gnaw wiring or disturb insulation and ductwork, so repeated signs deserve an inspection.
Reduce spilled seed, accessible pet food, heavy ground cover, and clutter around likely burrows. Do not flood, poison, or immediately fill an active hole. A technician can inspect the burrow system, trap where appropriate, and recommend changes that make the yard less attractive.
Humane chipmunk removal begins with identifying active burrows, seasonal use, and any young. A licensed wildlife professional can use species-appropriate traps, check them as required, remove captured animals according to applicable rules, and close access only after confirming the space is clear.
Call local Animal Control for an injured or unusually behaving animal or an immediate public-safety concern. If a person or pet is bitten or exposed, contact the local health department and a medical or veterinary professional. For recurring burrows, property entry, trapping, and exclusion, contact a licensed private exterminator for chipmunks. If you are searching for chipmunk extermination, ask about inspection, wildlife credentials, removal methods, and prevention before authorizing work. QualityPro lists NWCO NY 1691.
