About chipmunks

What to know about chipmunks

Chipmunks are small, omnivorous rodents with coloration and markings that vary by species.  The two most common types in the United States are the Eastern chipmunk and the least chipmunk, which thrive in deciduous forests, suburban areas, mountainous regions, and shrubby deserts.

Homeowners who find chipmunk tracks often have an infestation on their hands.  Prints around pavements and homes suggest that the pests are tunneling underneath.  Chipmunk burrows may crack sidewalks or allow the animals access indoors through faults in house foundations.
