Ground Squirrel Problems Around Calabasas Homes
Properties near hillsides, open land, and natural areas can attract ground squirrels looking for places to dig and establish burrows. Once they settle in, their activity can spread across lawns, slopes, and landscaped areas. The longer they remain, the more damage they may cause.
Open Burrows and Underground Activity
Ground squirrels create open burrow entrances that may lead to several connected tunnels. You might notice squirrels entering and leaving these openings during the day or see fresh digging around your property. Multiple burrows can indicate that more than one squirrel is active.
Damage to Landscaping and Irrigation
Besides digging holes, ground squirrels may chew irrigation lines, damage plants, and disturb the soil around landscaped areas. Burrowing can also weaken the ground around slopes and other affected areas.
For additional information about their behavior and the damage they cause, visit the University of California’s Ground Squirrel Guide.
Ground Squirrel Treatment Options
We begin by checking the property for active burrows and determining how much activity is present. Depending on what we find, treatment may involve trapping, carbon monoxide gas, or a combination of both. We’ll recommend the approach that best fits the conditions around your property.
Trapping Around Active Burrows
Traps may be placed near active burrow openings or areas where ground squirrels regularly travel. We determine where trapping will be most effective based on the activity we find during the inspection.
Carbon Monoxide Burrow Treatment
We may use our Gopher RX machine to deliver carbon monoxide gas into active underground burrow systems. This treatment targets ground squirrels inside their tunnels without using poison bait. We evaluate the burrow locations and property conditions before selecting this method.
