Alvin and The Chipmunks

This summer season New Jersey homes have been experiencing a slue of chipmunks. Chipmunks although cute, are known to cause extensive damage to your home Central AC Units. Homes that have been affected by chipmunk damage will normally find baseball size holes in the dirt around the foundation and under the AC unit. Most recently I found several residents that I treat on a regular basis have complained about chipmunk boroughs underneath their home AC Units. The Chipmunks chew through the wiring of the AC Units which forces the homeowner to have to spend hundreds of dollars in repairs. I believe chipmunks are drawn to this area due to the extreme heat we have experienced this summer season. Chipmunks borough holes under your AC unit in order to build a cool and comfortable rest place/ temporary home, as your ac runs it cools the chipmunk.

TIP : Check around your outdoor central units for evidence of Chipmunk boroughs.
