Understanding Chipmunks in Maine
Eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) are common throughout Maine. While charming in appearance, their extensive burrow systems cause significant damage to foundations, landscaping, and structures.
Adults measure 5-6 inches with distinctive stripes running down their backs. They create complex underground tunnel systems with multiple chambers for food storage, nesting, and escape routes.
A single chipmunk burrow can extend 20-30 feet with tunnels 2-3 feet deep—creating voids that undermine foundations, steps, patios, and retaining walls.
