Chipmunks Under Siding

A rodent as is a rat or a mouse.

Chipmunks under siding.

Chip monks are just that. Several years ago my parents had to have their poured patio removed because these cute little critters tunneled under it to the point it caused it to lower several inches and eventually cracked in two. They ruin expensive landscaping uproot garden plants and even make their way under retaining walls home foundations and decks. Western chipmunk measures 6 11 long including the tail.

But if you ve seen evidence of munching in your garden start sleuthing. It can weigh up to two ounces. The trap is easy to make you take a five gallon bucket fill it 3 4 with water and float the top of the water with sunflower seeds you then have a plank of wood go over the edge of bucket to give. Chipmunks are so shy and so quick you may not even notice them in your yard.

They are destructive dirty and need to be removed. Chipmunks can also fit into natural openings like vents chimneys and pipes. Look for holes in your lawn tiny footprints. They feed on both plant and animal material.

Tiny holes in your siding are also dangerous since a chipmunk can fit into a space as small as two inches wide. These chipmunks can be found in canada and the western united states. Western chipmunks fur have gray brown reddish and white with stripes. These stupid little things get into everything.
