Florida is home to many species of rodents, including ground squirrels. Ground squirrels are similar to tree squirrels, with a few small differences. A ground squirrel’s tail is shorter and bushier, and their fur is greyer with white dots.
The biggest difference, however, is that ground squirrels hibernate in underground burrows that can be up to four feet deep. These burrows can tunnel underneath your home, putting the integrity of your property at risk. Furthermore, ground squirrels will gnaw on electrical wires, plumbing pipes, and water hoses, creating an expensive headache for you to deal with.
If you suspect ground squirrels have dug underneath your Polk County property, here are a few tips you can follow to help drive them away.
