## SB County GS Geography

**Chino Hills** — Rolling terrain with south-facing slopes throughout the city creates ideal colony habitat. Carbon Canyon Regional Park (120+ acres) and Chino Hills State Park (14,000 acres) sustain massive populations that feed into residential areas.

**Former Dairy Land** — Chino and Ontario were the largest dairy concentration in the US historically. The conversion to residential left berms, drainage infrastructure, and enriched soil where GS colonies establish along former agricultural boundaries.

**San Bernardino Mountains Foothills** — Highland, Redlands, and Yucaipa face direct mountain colony migration from rocky, sun-exposed slopes above the cities. East Highlands Ranch and Crafton Hills border areas see the heaviest pressure.

**Equestrian Properties** — Chino Hills, Yucaipa, and Alta Loma equestrian zones have large lots with sunny embankments, fence-line berms, and open pasture terrain where GS colonies preferentially establish. Horse properties face both landscape damage and footing hazard risks from colonial burrowing.

## Why Early GS Intervention Matters in SB County

SB County's warm climate and extensive open space mean GS colonies grow rapidly. A small colony of 5-10 squirrels can undermine a driveway, sidewalk, or retaining wall within a single season. The cost of structural repair far exceeds the cost of professional colony removal at $325.
