Squirrels

[MarkJr]

Are your neighbors feeding them?

No. Digger squirrels here colony up like Prarie dogs. Hard on stock legs falling into dens. They burrow under foundations and slabs. They're horrid.

It sounds like a scene from the movie Tremors to me.

I live trap the chipmunks and many have strangely seemed to turn up at my parents house i think they are drawn to the rocky geograpy there, lots of places to hide

We don't have digger squirrels here but do have pocket gophers. They make mounds everywhere

Dang! They made tons of holes in your yard Those friggin' JERKS! Have you tried trapping/killing them underground yet?

This is someone else's property as an example. We do trap them but we still get a few mounds but not like the picture but I'm sure our property would look like it if we didn't trap them. One gopher will make several mounds.

Here is one I caught. They look kind of like a rat except for the teeth.

I am building my new coops and run in the middle of an orchard that is infested with squirrels, gophers, rats, mice, moles etc.. the coops are secure for all those threats plus coyotes, at least when they are locked in at night. All of those nasties in a semi rural area of San Diego county CA. Oh forgot hawks, owls, possums, weasels, and raccoons.LOL.

I trap gophers but they repopulate over a few months because my neighbors don,t. The squirrels are worse, take a lot of fruit and damage smaller branches and foleage. Air guns for those. Now if I could create a chicken breed that kills and eats those pests I could be a billionaire.
