Are ground squirrels tearing up your yard in the NorCal and Central California? These small rodents resemble tree squirrels, but instead of nesting in trees or attics, they burrow into the ground, creating extensive tunnel systems beneath your property. While they may seem harmless at first, ground squirrels can quickly become destructive nuisance pests, damaging tree roots, raiding vegetable gardens, and disrupting landscaping.
Worse yet, their burrowing can extend beneath and alongside your home’s foundation, leading to cracking, settling, and even structural instability. Their tunnels and entrance holes can ruin a pristine lawn or well-maintained property in no time. If ground squirrels are causing problems on your land in the Northern and Central California, contact the professionals at Critter Bros LLC for safe, effective ground squirrel removal services.
Ground squirrel holes are typically about 3 inches in diameter, left open and uncovered, and often surrounded by small mounds of dirt and rocks. These holes serve as entrances to their burrow systems, which can stretch 5 to 30 feet long and reach 2 to 4 feet deep underground.
These burrows can be highly destructive to lawns, gardens, and critical infrastructure like water retention systems. On well-maintained lawns, ground squirrels will tear up the grass to dig entry holes and damage the root systems, leaving patches of dry, dead, and brown grass. They can also harm trees and shrubs by stripping bark and chewing roots, often leading to plant death.In vegetable gardens, ground squirrels not only feast on crops but also damage the ones they don’t eat by disturbing their root systems. If you’re seeing signs of ground squirrel damage on your property.
While ground squirrels can technically carry the rabies virus, they are not known to transmit it to humans. However, they can spread several other serious diseases, including tularemia, salmonella, rat bite fever, and even bubonic plague. In addition, ground squirrels often carry parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mites, which can transmit illnesses like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
The greatest danger ground squirrels pose is from their extensive burrowing activity. Their tunnels can weaken the structural integrity of your yard, making it prone to cave-ins that can injure people, pets, or livestock. They frequently dig under decks, sheds, porches, and even home foundations, potentially leading to structural instability and expensive repairs.
If you’re dealing with ground squirrels on your property in the North and Central California, trust the professionals at Critter Bros LLC for expert trapping and removal services. Ground squirrels are highly intelligent and notoriously difficult to trap. They can detect human scent, spot poorly placed traps, and often outsmart inexperienced trappers.

We understand their behavior, know the proper techniques, and use professional-grade tools to ensure effective and humane removal. Critter Bros LLC offers FREE estimates, so don’t wait, contact our team today to protect your property with reliable ground squirrel control.
Once ground squirrels have been removed from your property, the next critical step is to prevent them from coming back. The most effective long-term solution is to install wildlife barriers along the perimeter of your property. These barriers are buried several inches underground to stop ground squirrels from digging beneath them.
At Critter Bros LLC, we offer professional wildlife barrier installation throughout the Northern and Central California to help you keep your yard protected for the long haul.
In addition to barriers, habitat modification can also reduce ground squirrel activity. Removing brush piles, firewood stacks, stumps, unused lawn equipment, and other debris makes your property less appealing and less secure for ground squirrels looking for shelter. Call us today to get started with professional ground squirrel prevention and control services.
The cost of ground squirrel trapping and removal can vary depending on factors like the severity of the infestation, the size of the property, and the number of active burrow systems. Removing a single squirrel from a small yard is a much different job than managing a large commercial site with multiple burrows.
