GROUND SQUIRREL CONTROL — INLAND EMPIRE

Professional ground squirrel colony removal across all IE cities. Pet-safe trapping.

## Why the IE Has Ground Squirrel Problems

The IE's mountain foothills, former agricultural land, and Jurupa Mountains create extensive colony habitat. San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountain slopes sustain colonies that migrate into residential neighborhoods. Chino Hills State Park adds 14,000 acres of colony habitat.

## IE-Specific Ground Squirrel Pressure

**Chino Hills State Park** — 14,000 acres of grassland and rocky slopes bordering Chino Hills, Diamond Bar, and Brea. The park sustains one of the largest GS populations in the IE and can never be developed or treated. Colonies migrate from the park into residential properties continuously.

**Former Agricultural Land** — Chino and Ontario were once dominated by dairy farms and citrus groves. The conversion to residential development left open terrain characteristics — berms, fence lines, drainage channels — where GS colonies preferentially establish. The enriched soil from decades of agricultural activity supports insect populations that supplement GS diets.

**San Bernardino Mountains Foothills** — Highland, Yucaipa, and Redlands sit at the mountain base where rocky, sun-exposed slopes provide ideal colony burrow sites. East Highlands Ranch and Wildwood Canyon border face direct mountain colony migration.

## IE Cities Ranked by GS Pressure

1. **Chino Hills** — Carbon Canyon Park, Los Serranos equestrian, rolling terrain

2. **Rancho Cucamonga** — Etiwanda Preserve (700+ acres), Alta Loma equestrian

3. **Yucaipa** — Wildwood Canyon State Park, Oak Glen border, equestrian properties

4. **Highland** — East Highlands Ranch, San Manuel area, direct mountain adjacency

5. **Upland** — San Antonio Heights, foothill estates above 19th Street

## IE Climate Concentrates GS Near Irrigated Properties

The IE's extreme summer heat (regularly over 100 degrees) pushes ground squirrels toward irrigated residential properties where soil stays cool enough for comfortable burrow temperatures and insect food remains available. During dry summer months, your irrigated property becomes a GS oasis in a baked-dry landscape.
