Yard Full of Holes? Blame the Ground Squirrels
Ground squirrels love to dig, and your yard is their favorite spot. They’ll leave holes and tunnels everywhere, messing up your yard and making it look like Swiss cheese. Those holes? Easy to miss and easy to trip in. Twisted ankles and bumpy lawns are no joke — especially when you’re just out for a stroll or mowing the grass. Their digging can crack sprinkler lines, mess with irrigation, and even weaken patios or sidewalks. Not exactly helpful when you’re trying to keep your yard in good shape.
Not Just a Nuisance — They’re a Health Risk
Ground squirrels can carry fleas, ticks, and other pests that bring disease. Plus, their droppings aren’t exactly something you want near your kids or pets.
Why Do You Have Ground Squirrels?
These little guys aren’t picky eaters. They’ll munch on flowers, veggies, and even the bark on your trees. If it grows, they’ll probably chew on it. Ground squirrels love open snacks. Gardens, fruit trees, bird feeders, pet food left outside — it’s all an all-you-can-eat buffet for them. Also, your yard is a safe haven for them. They look for quiet places to dig burrows. Yards with minimal foot traffic, wood piles, decks, sheds, or thick shrubs give them great cover to tunnel under.
Our Thorough Process
We start by setting out bait boxes for the ground squirrels. Then we come back once a week for the first two weeks to check on things. During those visits, we keep an eye on how active the squirrels are and how much bait they’ve been eating — it helps us get a better idea of how many are hanging around your property.
This service comes with a 30-day guarantee starting from your first visit. If we need to come out a fourth time during that window, no worries — it’s on us.
The bait we use in our boxes is non-transferrable — so if a ground squirrel eats it and your dog happens to find that squirrel later, your pup won’t be harmed or affected in any way.
