Are Ground Squirrels Damaging More Than the Ground?
Ground squirrels feed near their burrows and can damage plants while moving through the yard. The signs may appear in gardens or around young trees before the nearby holes are recognized as part of the problem.
Damage Around Young Trees
Ground squirrels may gnaw bark, eat leaves and twigs, or disturb the soil around roots. Young trees can be especially vulnerable when the feeding and burrowing continue.
Missing Garden Plants
Seedlings and other low-growing plants may be eaten near active burrows. Repeated damage in the same planted area may be connected to squirrels living nearby.
Fruit, Nuts, and Seeds
Ground squirrels also feed on fruit, nuts, and seeds when those foods are available. The plants attracting their attention can change throughout the year.
How Do We Connect the Plant Damage to the Burrows?
We inspect the damaged area and nearby ground for burrow entrances and signs of current use. This helps us determine whether ground squirrels are responsible and which part of the property needs service. We’ll explain the recommendation and price before treatment begins.
