Q: Where do rodents live?

A rodent’s habitat will depend on its species. Ground squirrels dig tunnels and burrows underground. Voles build their burrows in moist, dense grasslands, and tree squirrels live in trees. Chipmunks dig their burrows in a variety of areas, including lawns, forests, woodpiles, and gardens. Voles, squirrels, and chipmunks tend to stay outdoors and can cause damage to yard areas. Typically, the rodents most likely to enter a home or business are rats and mice, although some types of squirrels and chipmunks may enter as well. When rodents do enter a building, they like to live in cluttered areas with lots of places to hide, like attics and basements. They may also live between the layers of walls.
