Chipmunks Get Behind Vinyl Siding

There are 3 main types of siding.

Chipmunks get behind vinyl siding.

I purchased some steel wool and spray foam and used them to plug these gaps. Stoops are like a rodent magnet. You ask where is the door. Here is where i mean.

If you have vinyl siding on your home you need to close the entrance door that mice use. I ve noticed chipmunks climbing up the corners of my house underneath the corner cap of my vinyl siding. They typically measure 10 inches or less in length and are often identified by their rust colored bodies and dark stripes on their back. So get yourself some live traps bait them with acorns and catch yourself a rock group.

No they are driving you nuts and that is the key to getting rid of them. These stupid little things get into everything. Under the bottom row of siding. Wood vinyl and aluminum.

Each one has its own vulnerabilities. The corner piece is called the corner post and it is an open runway for mice to go directly into your attic. I am now realizing that this might prevent water from draining out of these corners. The common north american ground squirrel aka chipmunk go for nuts.

You will want to stick your fingers behind the bottom row of siding and run them along the entire perimeter of the home. Chipmunks mice and rats always try to inhabit these areas. Well the door is at the bottom of the outside corners of your home. Holes occur over time when seals crack around plumbing fixtures on your siding allowing mice entrance into your home.

They create extravagant burrows sometimes reaching more than 30 feet long. By sealing gaps in your walls and siding you can successfully secure your home from outdoor pests.
