OUR RECCOMENDATION 

Chipmunk burrows around foundations, patios, walkways, and other structures should be addressed before they have an opportunity to undermine the surrounding soil and hardscape. Over time, burrowing can cause pavers, concrete, and other surfaces to settle or shift, potentially leading to costly repairs.
