Why King City Residents Trust Us?
Chipmunks often invade homes by digging under decks and patios, through foundation cracks, and around loose utility openings. DIY trapping or sealing burrow entrances without confirming activity can leave animals trapped or push them toward other openings.
Our 20 years of local expertise help us identify activity and determine the right approach for each property. Our humane wildlife control services cover residential properties on King Road, Kinghorn, and Spring Hill, as well as commercial properties in Downtown Core, Duffering Street, King Boulevard, and surrounding areas.
Burrow Detection and Cleanup
Chipmunk burrows are well-concealed and have clean-looking entrances. We inspect decks, retaining walls, garden beds, and foundation gaps, locate active burrows, and assess how far the tunnels extend. After removal, we also clean the disturbed areas. |
Chipmunk Trapping and Relocation
Our technicians have specialized traps and bait stations to humanely capture animals. We strategically place these traps beside holes and foundation gaps. We ensure that capture and relocation comply with applicable provincial wildlife regulations. |
Chipmunk Pup
Removal
Pups remain in burrows while mothers forage nearby. Blocking the entrance can trap them inside, as they cannot leave the tunnel on their own before 6 to 8 weeks. Our experts identify the nesting location and use hands-on techniques to safely remove the pups. |
Common Chipmunk Problems and How We Address Them
Wildlife activity requires different solutions depending on where they nest. We inspect the affected areas to identify active burrows, assess tunnelling patterns, and develop a targeted removal and exclusion plan for your property.
Chipmunks Burrowing Under Decks and Porches
Burrowing under deck footings, porch steps, and patio edges causes structural settling and voids beneath these structures.
What do we do:
We address active burrows, remove pups, and install physical barriers to seal entry points.
Chipmunks Digging up Gardens and Landscaping
They dig up gardens and landscaping, ruining seedbeds and destroying delicate plants to bury and retrieve food.
What do we do:
Our team install fences, applies repellents, and removes food attractants to prevent recurring animal activity.
Chipmunk's Tunnelling Through the Yard
Tunnelling through the yard can leave scattered holes, loosen soil, damage the root system, and ruin the lawn's appearance.
What do we do:
We map visible entrances, apply targeted treatment to remove animals, and discourage further nesting.
Chipmunk Holes Near Foundations
Because of extensive tunnelling, holes near foundations can wash out supporting soil, leading to foundation cracks and water leaks.
What do we do:
We remove animals, seal openings and block potential entry points to prevent further digging.
Signs of Chipmunk Infestation on Your Property
An active wildlife problem can compromise your property’s integrity as these rodents leave behind distinct signs of structural, garden, and lawn damage. Here are some early signs to look for:
01
Small openings along foundation edges, basement steps, or porch footings, with no mess nearby.
02
Soil displacement, holes near foundations, tilted or cracked concrete walkways and porch stairs.
03
Disturbed seedlings, uprooted soil, and damaged plants or crops indicate visible activity nearby.
04
Excessive spilt seeds beneath feeders and chew marks on low-hanging fruit.
05
Scratching, thumbing, rustling, or a constant high-pitched “chip-chip” sound.
06
Droppings, nesting material, shredded paper, or piled-up dirt indicate nesting areas.
Not Sure Whether You Have Chipmunks or Squirrels?
Chipmunks and squirrels show similar signs of infestation, from landscaping damage to chew marks and holes around your property. If you are unsure which animal is causing the problem, let our technicians inspect your property, identify wildlife, and recommend targeted treatment.

Hidden Dangers: Why Address Chipmunk Activity Early
Chipmunk Burrows
Unlike other wildlife, they aren't notorious, and they aren't automatically a structural or health hazard. But burrowing in the wrong location can cause property concerns. Their burrow entrances are typically small, around 5 cm in diameter, and often have no excavated soil piled around them. This can make active burrows easy to overlook.
Health Risks
Although they are not considered a common rabies risk, they can carry external parasites, including fleas and ticks, that may affect pets. They leave behind droppings that, upon direct contact, can harbor harmful bacteria and parasites.
Structural and Landscaping Damage
Burrows beneath porch steps, patio edges, and deck footings can disturb supporting soil, loosen pavers, and over time contribute to uneven surfaces. Repeated digging can also disturb plant roots, damage garden beds, and create holes throughout lawns. Burrows near foundations also warrant attention if soil is eroding or existing gaps provide access into a building.
Avoid handling wild chipmunks or their waste with bare hands, and address burrowing activity before it affects your property. At Wildlife Removal King City, our team provides professional chipmunk inspection, removal, and entry-point sealing for residential and commercial properties.
Our Step-by-Step Chipmunk Removal Process
Thorough Inspection
Our technicians locate burrows and thoroughly assess entrances, disturbed soil, deck and porch edges, foundation walls, and nearby food sources. We look for fresh diggings and repeated activity to map the scale of underground tunnels.
Humane Removal
We strategically place specialized traps, bait stations, and snap traps beside established travel paths to ensure quick capture. Our team uses hands-on exclusion techniques and insulated boxes to remove pups and relocate them with their mother, per applicable wildlife requirements.
Cleanup and Sanitization
After removal, our chipmunk removal King City team addresses burrows and disturbed soil where appropriate. We remove droppings and nesting debris, then disinfect and deodorize affected areas with professional-grade sanitizers.
Prevention and Exclusion
We identify accessible gaps and vulnerable openings that allow animals to keep digging. Our technicians install durable physical barriers and seal the entry points to reduce recurring animal activity.
Follow-ups and Monitoring
Our wildlife control services include follow-ups and monitoring to check for fresh digging, reopened entrances, and continued activity around treated areas. If animals return, we reassess the burrows and seal access points.
How to Reduce Chipmunk Activity Around Your Property
Reducing wildlife activity around your property requires habitat modification, eliminating food sources, and maintaining your property. Here are a few changes that can make your King City home less attractive to wildlife:
Seal Suitable Gaps and Protect Vulnerable Areas
Inspect gaps around steps, sheds, porches, and utility openings for potential access points. Seal these gaps with durable, wildlife-resistant materials and install mesh barriers around vulnerable areas.
Reduce Clutter and Eliminate Food Sources
Clear piles of leaves, debris, firewood, and stacked material where animals can find shelter. Store pet food and birdseed in sealed containers, remove fallen fruit and nuts immediately, and clean up spilt seed to reduce accessible food sources.
Protect Gardens, Bird Feeders, and Outdoor Storage
Use fencing, mesh, or plant guards to protect bulbs, seedlings, and vulnerable garden beds. Use seed trays to catch spills, and secure compost bins and outdoor food storage.
Monitor Burrow Activity Throughout the Year:
Check for fresh holes, disturbed soil, and repeated animal activity around retaining walls, patio edges, and foundation lines. Early detection helps you identify new burrows before continued digging affects nearby landscaping.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does chipmunk removal service cost in King City?
Chipmunk removal services in King City start at CAD $375. The final cost depends on the number of active burrows, their location, the complexity of the removal and exclusion work required, and the travel distance to your property. Final pricing is determined after an on-site inspection based on the actual work needed. Our team also offers customized payment plans tailored to your property needs.
What attracts chipmunks to my property?
They are attracted to properties that provide abundant food sources and safe places to hide and burrow. Birdseed, fallen nuts, pet food, loose soil, and sheltered spaces beneath decks or sheds mainly attract animals to your property.
How can I get rid of chipmunks permanently?
To get rid of chipmunks, you must combine physical exclusion, removal, and habitat modification. Address active burrows, remove food sources, and install suitable physical barriers to reduce recurring activity.
Can I get rid of chipmunks with natural repellents?
Yes, you can deter them using natural repellents and home remedies, but the effectiveness varies. Habitat modification, sealing vulnerable spots, and installing physical barriers are more reliable approaches.
How do I know if it's a chipmunk or a squirrel in my yard?
Chipmunks are smaller and have distinct stripes along their backs, while squirrels are generally larger and have bushier tails. Moreover, they use small burrow entrances, while squirrels live in wall cavities, attics, or trees.
