Chipmunk
Damage
Burrowing and tunneling beneath concrete sidewalks, patios, stairs, and foundations cause significant weakening of the structures which lead to costly damage over time. Extensive networks of tunnels are created in search of food and nesting, the tunnels accumulate years of sitting water underneath the concrete which will dramatically reduce the concrete’s lifespan. There is also significant damage that could be caused to the yard and vegetation on the property.
Health Hazards
Bacterial and viral infections are transmittable from chipmunks to humans and pets. Plague, Salmonella, and Hantavirus are some of the most severe diseases and carry symptoms anywhere from fever, and vomiting, to a weakened immune system, respiratory issues, and even death.
