Chipmunk Extermination

Chipmunks become annoying when they steal food from birdfeeders and rip up garden plants and flowers.  They dig and burrow and can create a real mess in lawns and gardens.  When the damage gets bad enough, people start looking into their chipmunk extermination options.

Chipmunks are not protected by federal law, but state and local regulations may apply.  Depending on where you live it may be necessary to have a license or permit in order to perform chipmunk extermination.

Even in no license is necessary, caution must be exercised when approaching or handling any kind of wild animal.  Chipmunks are capable of carrying diseases that are transmittable to humans, and can scratch and bite.  Their first choice is always to run away from people, but a cornered and scared chipmunk will try to defend itself and can inflict more pain than you might think.  A physical confrontation of this sort is stressful for both the human and the animal.  It is best to have a comprehensive chipmunk extermination plan before beginning.

There are many ways to exterminate chipmunks.  Some people build very creative homemade traps.  Others bring in predators, such as a pet cat, to help control the population.  Either of these may provide some benefit, but if you are serious about extermination chipmunks then the best thing to do is to hire a professional to provide complete and thorough wildlife control.

A chipmunk exterminator will place traps in the locations with the greatest likelihood for swift success.  They have the right baits and materials, in sufficient quantities, readily available.  They can dispose or remove the animals in accordance with local regulations.  For a positive experience with chipmunk extermination, call 1-888-488-7720.  We will connect you with a professional in your area.
