But if you ve seen evidence of munching in your garden start sleuthing.
Chipmunk behind siding.
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.
One common way mice enter your home is through irregularities in your home s foundation where it meets the siding.
If you re absolutely certain it is a chipmunk living in your attic the best means of removal is to trap the animal in a cage trap.
Chipmunks do not often live inside homes.
You can find gaps and cracks along the siding after inspection.
They will eat flower bulbs and seeds and leave nutshells behind.
They are destructive dirty and need to be removed.
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.
A rodent as is a rat or a mouse.
They prefer the cool dirt of underground burrows.
Holes occur over time when seals crack around plumbing fixtures on your siding allowing mice entrance into your home.
Listen carefully because you may also hear chipmunks scurrying around.
These stupid little things get into everything.
Chipmunks also have been known to make a mess of the garden.
They will often live under steps and in foundation cracks but chipmunk rarely make an attic their home.
They ruin expensive landscaping uproot garden plants and even make their way under retaining walls home foundations and decks.
Check the trap every day so you know if it has caught a chipmunk.
Set the trap near a chipmunk burrow during the daytime when they come out to forage.
If you aren t sure what to use pay attention to what the.
Chipmunks are so shy and so quick you may not even notice them in your yard.
Bait the trap using any type of fruit nuts or seeds.
