Ground squirrels can cause fast, expensive damage across Buellton properties—especially in lawns, landscaped areas, vineyards, orchards, and pastures. Their burrow systems undermine soil, destroy plants, and can create unsafe ground conditions for people, pets, and livestock. Mitch’s Gopher Control provides professional ground squirrel control in Buellton, CA using targeted, humane methods designed to eliminate colonies at the source and help prevent recurring activity.

With over 50 years of combined experience serving the Santa Ynez Valley and surrounding areas, we focus exclusively on burrowing rodent control—so you get specialized expertise, efficient treatment, and results you can count on.

Professional, Humane Ground Squirrel Removal (Not Just Surface-Level Treatment)

Ground squirrel activity often looks minor at first—small holes, scattered dirt, or chewed plants—but the real problem is underground. Our process is built to treat the entire tunnel system, not just what you can see on the surface.

We use specialized equipment and proven carbon monoxide treatment methods to reach active burrow networks directly. This approach is designed to be:

Effective at eliminating active ground squirrel colonies
Humane and targeted to burrow systems
Pet safe when properly applied by trained professionals
Efficient for residential yards and large agricultural properties

Common Signs of Ground Squirrel Activity in Buellton

If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection and treatment plan:

Open burrow holes around lawns, planters, retaining walls, or fences
Soil collapse or soft spots that feel unstable underfoot
Damage to gardens, shrubs, ground cover, and irrigation areas
Increased sightings of ground squirrels near structures or open fields
Burrows on slopes, vineyard rows, orchard edges, or pasture areas

Why Ground Squirrels Are a Serious Property Risk

Ground squirrels aren’t just a nuisance—they can create ongoing, compounding damage. Their burrows can spread quickly, expanding into larger colonies over time. Professional control helps protect your property from:

Hazardous ground conditions that can cause trips, falls, or livestock injury
Plant and crop loss from feeding and root-zone disturbance
Soil destabilization that impacts slopes, walkways, and landscaped areas
Long-term reinfestation when tunnel systems are left untreated
