ground squirrel living in back yard

I live in California and have ground squirrels living in my backyard.  They like to eat my grass and dig holes in the dirt. They have left my grass looking like a putting green! There are about six of them. What do you recommend I use to get rid of them?

I’d go with the SQUIRREL LIVE TRAPS or GAS STICKS to start. Once the 5-6 you’ve got now are gone, go ahead and set up some of the repellents we have listed to stop new ones from coming around. All the repellents can be found in our GROUND SQUIRREL PRODUCT PAGE. The COYOTE URINE seems to work well on them and is a big seller. I suspect once the ones nesting are removed, this would be a good repellent to install.
