Trouble with Chipmunks

Can a chipmunk make a burrow under a concrete slab? This chipmunk also ate through sealant to close holes. Is that normal? It has been pulling the carpet fibers out of the carpet too.

Hardiness Zone: 7a

She is pregnant. Do not hurt her. She is gathering fiber for her nest. For areas that you wish she would stay out of, spread cayenne pepper.

Chipmonks are a burrowing critter so they can make a tunnel under a concrete slab. I have them living in my stone walls which they seem to prefer. Although I have seen them make burrows next to my birch trees. I have a hav-a-heart trap that I bait with seeds. When I catch one I release the critter about 10 miles from the house. I will never get rid of them but I can control how many are running around the property.
