I believe that the chipmunk may be one of the most prevalent members of the squirrel family, and is found throughout the US. But they are rodents and not domestic, and should be treated as wild animals. Each summer they are on my porch looking for dropped birdseed and other scraps of food. They are omnivores, but eat mostly seeds and grasses. But they will eat insects and bird eggs if they can find them.
I had some extra wire fencing and clear vinyl so a "Habitrail like" tube seems like a good way to confine them to one end of the porch and out of the way. It is 9 feet long, (~3 Meters) and has a wood bottom for them to run on. Within 15 minutes after building it, they started using the tube and have stayed out of the way. And, they are fun to watch as well. Maybe I should add a loft!
