In 1998 california ground squirrels were estimated to cause up to $28 million in annual economic damage in califonia. Adjusted for inflation, that's approximately $53.76 million today. If you've ever had ground squirrel problems you know the damage they can cause to ranch roads, infrastructure, chewing electrical cables and irrigation lines, eating feed, dig extensive burrow systems causing trip hazards to humans, pets and live stock, lawn and garden damage, attract predators like rattlesnakes into your property, spread disease such as plague and hantavirus, they are carnivorous and will kill chickens and eat their baby chicks I've seen it first hand. I've dealt with squirrels for the past 5 years with great success if you think I can help you out with any squirrel business please feel free to message me and I'll get back asap. Thank you for your time
