Ground squirrels damage many food-bearing and ornamental plants, including grains, pulse and seed crops, as well as nut and fruit trees. Whether burrowing, gnawing or otherwise bothering, ground squirrels can cause serious problems for producers.
About Ground Squirrels
Ground squirrels are easy to identify because they forage above ground and are often active during the day. They are larger than tree squirrels, have slimmer tails and live in burrows below ground. Ground squirrel burrow entrances are always open and range from 2-4 inches in diameter.
