SMITH GOPHER TRAPPING SERVICE
Ground Squirrel Service
Ground Squirrels can cause numerous and extensive damages to the properties they infest. Some of these hazards include the infestation of ectoparasites such as fleas around ground squirrel burrows and colonies, an increased risk of personal injury due to uneven ground/burrows which can result in liability issues, slope failure due to undermining the structural integrity of hillsides, the consumption of ornamental plants or gardens, destruction of plumbing and utility lines from chewing, and unsightly visual damage to the landscape.
Animal Damage Management provides multiple options for ground squirrel control. We can use rodenticide baits, live or kill traps and we can exclude them from your property using underground screening. Our prices will differ depending on the method chosen, the amount of activity present, and the size of the area to be controlled. We guarantee all ground squirrel work we perform. Please call us so we can setup an appointment for you to meet with one of our fully trained technicians or supervisors.
