Chipmunk Removal in North Alabama
Professional Chipmunk Removal
Roberts Wildlife traps chipmunks and seals the burrows undermining your foundation and walkways across North Alabama. They look harmless, but their tunneling does quiet damage over time, a common headache in the older landscaped yards around Birmingham and the foothills of Shelby and St. Clair counties. Every job is backed by a one-year guarantee.
Out in the open yard a chipmunk is no real problem. It becomes one when it burrows against the house, because those tunnels work water and air into the soil under slabs and walkways. Left alone, a few chipmunks turn into a network of burrows that can crack concrete and settle a patio.
Signs You Have a Chipmunk Problem
- Clean Burrow Holes – small holes about two inches across near the foundation or along a flower bed, with no mound of dirt around them.
- Garden Damage – chewed bulbs and dug-up beds where chipmunks forage.
- Raided Feeders – bird feeders emptied fast, since chipmunks store seed by the cheekful.
- Activity Along Walls – chipmunks darting in and out of cover near the foundation and retaining walls.
Our Chipmunk Removal Process
- Inspection – We map the active burrows and the foundation gaps the chipmunks are using.
- Trapping – We trap the active chipmunks on the property.
- Burrow & Gap Sealing – We close the burrows and foundation openings so a new chipmunk cannot reuse them.
- Habitat Advice – We point out the ground cover and feeders that are drawing them in.
- One-Year Guarantee on any areas we touch.
Chipmunk burrows undermine foundations over time. Call (256) 535-3401 and we will stop the digging.
Why Chipmunk Tunneling Matters
The damage is slow, which is exactly why people underestimate it:
- Foundation & Walkway Damage – burrows undermine slabs, walkways, and retaining walls.
- Water Intrusion – tunnels channel water and erosion toward the house.
- Garden Loss – chipmunks dig up bulbs and raid beds through the season.
- More Diggers – open burrows invite other rodents to move in.

Frequently Asked Questions: Chipmunk Removal in North Alabama
Are chipmunks really a problem?
Out in the yard, not much. The problem starts when they burrow against the house, because those tunnels can undermine walkways and foundations and channel water toward the structure over time.
How do you get rid of chipmunks?
We trap the active chipmunks and then close off the burrows and foundation gaps that drew them in, so another one cannot simply move into the same tunnel a week later.
Will the chipmunks come back?
Not if the burrows and entry gaps are sealed and the habitat is addressed. Trapping alone tends to fail because a new chipmunk just claims the open tunnel.
Are chipmunks protected in Alabama?
Chipmunk control is handled under standard nuisance-wildlife practice. Roberts Wildlife removes them legally and humanely as part of the job.
What areas do you cover for chipmunk removal?
Roberts Wildlife removes chipmunks across 18 counties in North Alabama, including Birmingham, Hoover, Huntsville, Pell City, and Anniston.
