When Ground Squirrels Move Into Residential Areas
Properties near the Woodland Hills foothills may have slopes, open areas, and landscaped yards that provide places for ground squirrels to dig. Activity can also develop along property boundaries where burrows are less noticeable until the animals begin moving through the yard.
Open Burrows Near Fences and Slopes
Ground squirrels commonly leave visible openings in the soil, often near fence lines, retaining walls, and landscaped slopes. Some openings may be used regularly, while others may no longer be active. We examine these areas to help determine where the animals are currently living.
Ground Squirrels Moving Through the Yard
Repeated daytime sightings can indicate an established problem. You may see ground squirrels feeding, moving between burrows, or entering openings along the property. We look at where the animals are traveling and whether the activity extends beyond the first burrow you’ve noticed.
Treatment Based on the Burrow Locations
Ground squirrel control isn’t always limited to one opening. We inspect the accessible portions of the property, identify the active areas, and determine how the terrain may affect treatment. Depending on the conditions, we may recommend trapping, carbon monoxide treatment, or a combination of both.
Trapping Method
Trapping may be recommended when activity is concentrated in accessible areas. We place traps in locations associated with ground squirrel movement and monitor the service as needed. We’ll explain whether additional visits are recommended based on the amount of activity.
Carbon Monoxide Treatment
Carbon monoxide treatment involves introducing gas into active burrow systems using specialized equipment. This allows us to address ground squirrels underground without excavating the entire area. We determine whether the burrow location and surrounding conditions make this an appropriate treatment option.
