Chipmunk Droppings

To the inexperienced person, chipmunk droppings can be difficult to identify with certainty.  Rats, mice, bats, voles and squirrels all leave calling cards that resemble a black bean or a black grain of rice.

Chipmunk droppings are similar to mouse droppings in appearance but are often larger, measuring approximately 1/4 inch or more.  They are dark, elongated, and usually hard.

For all of the above named animals, including chipmunks, droppings can change because of diet and health.  Chipmunk droppings are not always the same, so identifying them form a picture can be tricky.

If you find animal droppings on your property, use caution.  Bacteria and diseases can be transmitted through chipmunk droppings, and several diseases are transmitted through inhalation of spores and particles in the air surrounding the feces.
