Why Ground Squirrels Are an Important Property Concern
Ground Squirrel Control in Santa Barbara is more than a simple nuisance. Their digging can cause real damage around homes, businesses, agricultural sites, and municipal properties. Over time, their tunnel systems may weaken soil near slopes, walkways, foundations, fences, retaining areas, irrigation systems, and landscape sections.
They may also harm food-producing plants, decorative plants, young trees, and garden spaces. In addition, Ground Squirrel Control may involve fleas and other health-related concerns, so professional control is especially important when activity is found near homes, schools, parks, or public areas. We offer full service pest control in Santa. Barbara County.

As the inventor of Our TerraTrap GS System, Lenz Pest Control offers a specialized trapping solution built specifically for Ground Squirrel Control.

- Moreover, a strong choice for customers concerned about secondary poisoning risks
Because the TerraTrap GS System is designed around actual ground squirrel behavior, it gives property owners a more specialized solution for a pest that can be difficult to control with standard methods.
The Trap Cover
The TerraTrap GS, patent pending, was invented in California by seasoned pest control operators. It solves the challenge of California Ground Squirrel control:
Ground Squirrels are much more likely to approach the trap that mimics the natural environment they are used to. The design encourages tunneling into the trap, while the appearance of a rock does not alarm the notoriously timid pests.
Ground Squirrel Cutaway
Humane Control
The system is powered by Goodnature's A18 Trap. The A18 is an automatic trap that kills instantly and humanely. Then the dead squirrel is released to be collected or scavenged by animals.
Scavengers in the area will quickly adapt to checking the trap, clearing it out for you, and reducing labor significantly.
Our Ground Squirrel Control Process
Inspection
Step 1: Property Inspection
First, we inspect your property for burrow openings, active runways, feeding damage, landscape damage, and signs of current ground squirrel activity.
Step 2: Targeted Control Plan
Next, We recommend a focused plan based on your property size, activity level, burrow locations, and nearby risk factors such as pets, children, livestock, wildlife, slopes, gardens, or public access areas.
Step 3: Poison-Free Trapping
When appropriate, We use poison-free trapping options, including Our TerraTrap GS System, to help manage active ground squirrel populations without relying on toxic bait.
Step 4: Continued Monitoring
Ground squirrels can return from nearby open spaces, fields, hillsides, or neighboring properties. Therefore, ongoing monitoring and maintenance may be recommended for long-term control.
