 Ground squirrel: 

  • Head and body 9 to 11 inches long 
  •  Bushy tail is about as long as its body 
  • Fur is dark to light brown or gray 

Ground squirrels live in underground burrows and form colonies of 20 or more animals. The colony will grow very large if left uncontrolled. They are active in morning and late afternoon.  Each ground squirrel burrow system will have several openings with scattered soil in front. Ground squirrel burrows may be 5 to 30 feet long, 2.5 to 4 feet below the surface, and about 4 to 6 inches in diameter. Burrows give the ground squirrels a place to retreat, sleep, hibernate, rear their young, and store food. Ground squirrels often dig their burrows along ditches, fencerows, around buildings and on to turf area like parks grounds. They will travel 100 yards or more to feed. The ground squirrel is active throughout the year and they don’t truly hibernate but may become less active for periods of time. Females have one litter, averaging 8 young, in spring. Young ground squirrels emerge from their burrow when about 6 weeks old.                                                                                     Damage They Cause- The reason for ground squirrel control
