Chipmunk Removal & Control in Indiana

Eastern chipmunks are small, striped ground squirrels common throughout Indiana. While charming, chipmunks can cause surprising amounts of damage. Their burrow systems beneath patios, stairs, retaining walls, and foundations can undermine these structures over time. Chipmunks cache food in their burrows — a single chipmunk may store several pounds of seeds and nuts. They may enter homes and garages through small gaps, particularly in fall. Chipmunks can also carry ticks and fleas. Licensed wildlife control operators use live trapping to remove chipmunk populations and can advise on habitat modification to discourage future activity.

Common Chipmunk Issues

  • Burrows undermining patios, walkways, and retaining walls
  • Entering homes and garages through small foundation gaps
  • Raiding bird feeders and garden seeds
  • Carrying ticks and fleas into yards

Prevention Tips

  • Remove brush piles, wood stacks, and rock piles near the foundation
  • Seal gaps in the foundation and around utility penetrations
  • Use gravel or stone mulch around foundation plantings to discourage burrowing
  • Move bird feeders away from the house or use chipmunk-proof feeders
