Hi,
We live in Big Bear CA and for the past 2 years we have been having problems with ground squirrels. There’s tunnels everywhere. They are digging our plants and eating the roots of our rose bushes etc. We need your advice as to what’s better – we should be expecting snow in the next month or so but we want to catch and kill them because they are digging everywhere now..
If you read through our GROUND SQUIRREL CONTROL article, you’ll learn we have several devices which can be deployed to help manage this problem. No doubt live trapping is usually the most effective and once trapped, you can relocate or destroy the animals as desired.
