Chipmunks are funny little creatures. We could describe them, relatively accurately, as “squirrel’s hyperactive little brothers.” It takes a lot to be considered hyperactive compared to squirrels, but chipmunks pull it off. Most homeowners don’t know much about chipmunks, except that they’re a surprisingly constant nuisance in spring and fall. Chipmunk’s constant, somewhat disruptive presence begs the question: what are they doing around your home anyway? What do chipmunks want, and why do they think that it’s up your drain pipes?
