Case studies and resources
-
The California ground squirrel is found throughout the state.
Ground squirrels can colonize residential environments that have open grassy areas, causing damage to landscape plants, trees, and irrigation lines.
Ground squirrels resemble tree squirrels but usually will retreat to their burrows when frightened.
Effective management depends upon understanding the ground squirrel’s life cycle and behavior.
-
Gophers are small burrowing rodents that can damage plants by eating their roots.
Look for gopher mounds, half circles of loose dirt with a plugged hole off to one side.
Protect plants with underground fencing, such as wire baskets and poultry wire.
Place traps inside active gopher burrows to control gophers.
Dr. Terry Salmon demonstrates how to effectively locate a Pocket Gopher tunnel system.
This graph from UC IPM shows the yearly activities of the California ground squirrel and times when baiting, trapping, fumigation, and other management practices are generally most effective.
