| Abstract/Contents: | Provides information on ground squirrels, noting that "the United States is home to more than a dozen species of ground squirrels." States that "ground squirrels, with an average litter size of 10 and a maturity age of about 10 months, are very productive. One female can have offspring resulting in over 100 progeny in just three years." Describes several methods used to control ground squirrels including body-gripping traps, fumigants and hand placed toxicants. Notes that "it makes more economic sense to eliminate the population," and details several ways in which ground squirrels are eliminated naturally, such as exposure, predation, and starvation. |
