put cut up onions garlic thyime and mint in all holes. Get the frying pan out and clap them on their heads. Line them up outside on the wire there cousins will not return. They will have several funerals and then move away. In every hole put powder Deers and another species will take over come back and ask again.

Go to Humane Society and adopt a bunch of outside cats. Build a shelter for them and they will be glad to give you the tails. Make sure they are outside cats, it cruel to put a housecat out. Mine were born outside and live in my gazebo. I feed them, they take care of bunnies and squirrels. They get their shots yearly too. That is a pain but hey so are the squirrels.

poison bait. Any home improvement store has it.

Hi everyone. I'm over-run with tunneling ground squirrels. I had a few last year (we are in a new home on five acres) and now they are absolutely everywhere with so many holes the ground appears as though it could cave in - truly! They have not infiltrated our home yet, but are moving closer. I have read much on the net, but SO many articles stating there is nothing you can do to get rid of them. At this point, I'm not too interested in a humane "catch and relocate" approach. I have tried that, but there are simply too many, even for my cat who is an excellent hunter. I also have two dogs, but they are uninterested in the ground squirrels.

Has anyone had success with removing them and would you share?

Thanks.
