Now if the smell of animal urine is something you don’t want around the home, go with the PEST RID GRANULES and PEST RID SPRAY. These products use food extracts as actives and won’t create unpleasant odors that people can detect. But chipmunks will smell it and avoid the area.

Joanne Bentley says
There are chipmonks under my deck and in a tree and I have seen a couple of burrows. I am concerned that they will enter the foundation and retreat into my garage or house if I treat the area. Their population has increased and I see them having “turf wars”. What is the best eradication method? Thank you.
Tech Support says
If the tree is 10 feet or more from the house, you should not use any of our repellents but instead, start with either the Liquid Bait or Live Trap method. And once you remove most of the active ones in the area, the repellents can be deployed.

Ardy says
I have seen chipmunks in our back yard, but I believe our problem is with ground squirrels, moles, and even young rock chucks. Will the advise you are giving work with these critters also? Thank you!
Tech Support says
Yes and no. In fact we have articles on ground squirrels, moles and rock chucks (marmots) so ideally, you should review each article one by one.
What you’ll find is that you can live trap chipmunks, ground squirrels and marmots but not moles. You’ll also find there are poisons that can be used for chipmunks, moles and ground squirrels but they’re all different. In the end, you will need different items for each animal though the concepts will remain the same.
At this time I suggest you review each articles to learn about the particulars for each animal. Once you’ve reviewed this information, give us a call if you have further questions.

Found a chipmunk in my duct work. Killed it with rat poison. Later found the hole they used to get in. Is their fecal matter dangerous? Should I have professionals clean out the ducts or is it ok to start my furnace?
Tech Support says
In general, all types of fecal matter is considered a health hazard. Furthermore, certain rodents can carry really bad disease like hantavirus. Now since I don’t know where you reside or what kind of “rodent transmitted” disease is common to your region, there is no way I can confidently say these feces may or may not harbor something bad.
But to be sure you or your family is never exposed, you most definitely should clean our your duct work. This would be smart for many reasons – especially since you know there has been a small animal inside which has left feces. Remember, the feces are just what you see. No doubt there is “other” bad things in these ducts you’re not seeing and these invisible agents could turn out to be the real bio hazard. Now if the area was a remote section of the home which no one visits, it maybe could be ignored. But since this duct work will be distributing air throughout your home which everyone will be breathing, it only makes sense to make sure they’re clean and deodorized.
Now whether you hire a service company to do the work or you want to save some money and do the work yourself is your call. Either way, it would be wise to treat as much of your duct work as possible with a cleaning solution that includes an agent like Rough N Ready disinfectant. This material will deactivate any bio hazard left by feces and urine. And since it will break down and dissipate within an hour of being applied, you’ll be able to turn on your system and start using it within a couple of hours of treatment.
To distribute the Rough N Ready throughout the ducts, a good fogging machine like a FM6308 or Flexalite will be needed. These machines take liquids and turn them into a “mist” so you can pump the mist throughout your duct work. This can be done by using either machine at the blower end as well as pumping mist into the exit vents found throughout the home.
