GROUND SQUIRREL CONTROL — LOS ANGELES COUNTY

Professional ground squirrel colony removal across all LA County cities. Pet-safe trapping with no poisons.

## Why LA County Has Ground Squirrel Problems

LA County is ringed by mountains and hills sustaining large ground squirrel colonies: Santa Monica Mountains across the north, Verdugo Hills between Glendale and Burbank, San Gabriel Mountains above the foothill cities, Puente Hills through Whittier and Diamond Bar, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula in the south. Griffith Park's 4,300 acres also sustain significant populations.

## LA Geography Creating GS Pressure

Four major elevated areas sustain permanent GS colonies adjacent to LA residential communities:

**Santa Monica Mountains** — 150,000+ acres of protected habitat from Griffith Park to Point Mugu. Colonies thrive on sunny south-facing slopes and disperse into Studio City, Woodland Hills, Calabasas, and Agoura Hills.

**Puente Hills** — 3,800 acres of conserved hillside from Whittier to Diamond Bar. Schabarum Regional Park alone sustains hundreds of ground squirrels that migrate into Rowland Heights, Hacienda Heights, and West Covina.

**San Gabriel Mountains** — Foothill cities from Pasadena to Claremont face direct mountain colony migration. Arcadia, Monrovia, Glendora, and La Verne see consistent colony establishment on residential properties near the mountain base.

**Palos Verdes Peninsula** — Rolling Hills, Palos Verdes Estates, and Rancho Palos Verdes have equestrian properties and nature preserves sustaining colonies on the peninsula's sunny slopes.

## HOA Considerations in LA

Most LA hillside HOAs prohibit surface-applied rodenticides due to secondary poisoning risk to pets and wildlife. Many HOAs require professional, licensed pest control and documentation of treatment. Our trapping methods meet all LA HOA requirements.
