County and U.S. Forest Service officials close Los Alamos Campground after a California ground squirrel captured two weeks ago tests positive for the disease. County public health and U.S. Forest Service officials have closed the Los Alamos Campground in the Angeles National Forest after a California ground squirrel captured two weeks ago tested positive for plague.  

Both the Ground Squirrels and Tree Squirrels damage many food-bearing and ornamental plants. Particularly vulnerable are grains as well as nut and fruit trees such as almond, apple, apricot, orange, peach, pistachio, prune, and walnut. Ground squirrels will enter gardens and devour vegetables in the seedling stage. They can damage young shrubs, vines, and trees by gnawing bark, girdling trunks (the process of completely removing a strip of bark from a tree’s outer circumference), eating twigs and leaves, and burrowing around roots.

Squirrels whether they are in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Seal Beach, or Redondo Beach, will gnaw on plastic sprinkler heads and irrigation lines. They also eat the eggs of ground-nesting birds.

Los Angeles Ground squirrels damage many food-bearing and ornamental plants. Particularly vulnerable are grains as well as nut and fruit trees such as almond, apple, apricot, orange, peach, pistachio, prune, and walnut. Ground squirrels in LA will enter gardens and devour vegetables in the seedling stage. They can damage young shrubs, vines, and trees by gnawing bark, girdling trunks (the process of completely removing a strip of bark from a tree’s outer circumference), eating twigs and leaves, and burrowing around roots.

Ground squirrels will gnaw on plastic sprinkler heads and irrigation lines. They also eat the eggs of ground-nesting birds and can limit attempts to attract quail to the yard.

Burrowing can be quite destructive. Burrows and mounds make it difficult to mow, and they present hazards to machinery, pedestrians, and livestock. Burrows around trees and shrubs can damage and desiccate, or dry out, roots; it sometimes can topple trees. Burrowing beneath buildings and other structures sometimes produces damage that necessitates costly repair.

LA Ground squirrels can harbor diseases harmful to humans, particularly when squirrel populations are numerous. A major concern is bubonic plague transmitted to humans by fleas that the squirrels carry. Ground squirrels are susceptible to plague, which has wiped out entire colonies. If you find unusual numbers of squirrels or other rodents dead for no apparent reason, notify public health officials. Do not handle dead squirrels under these circumstances.

There two species of tree squirrels that are native to California, and especially Los Angeles; The tree squirrels that are most likely to be encountered in Los Angeles County are the Western Gray Squirrel and the Eastern Fox Squirrel.

How Do I Know If I Have Tree Squirrels?:

The Western gray squirrel:

Is about 22 inches in length with a large bushy tail edged in white. The coat can run from a "salt and pepper" to a silvery gray above to white below. They weight in at between 1.5-2 pounds and lack any stripes, spotting, or flecking common to ground squirrels.

Eastern fox squirrels:

Are the largest of the North American squirrels and can grow to 29 inches in total length. It too has a bushy tail, but with a somewhat square head and weights in at 3 pounds. They can vary greatly in color, but commonly have a light brown coat above to a reddish or orange underside.

As is the case with all true tree squirrels, both of these species lack internal cheek pouches and when frightened climb trees to take shelter. Tree squirrels as their name implies are primarily found in trees, but can spend a considerable amount of time foraging on the ground as well. All are only active during the day, and do not hibernate. Tree squirrels like to nest in the cavities of trees, often enlarging the old holes of woodpeckers or flickers. They may also construct nests of twigs, shredded bark and leaves in a crotch or on a large tree branch.

What damage do squirrels do?

Tree squirrels damage green and ripe walnuts, almonds, oranges, avocados, apples, strawberries, tomatoes, and grains. Telephone and electrical lines are sometimes gnawed and they also chew on buildings or invade attics through knotholes or uncovered roof vents. Eastern fox squirrels can become some what aggressive and antagonize dogs and may frighten the elderly.

How do you know if you need Squirrel Control?:

Homeowner options are limited when it comes to the management of tree squirrels. Before you start any control program, it is critical to identify which species of squirrel is damaging your property. In some cases, it may actually be roof rats that are causing the damage or a combination of both roof rats and tree squirrels. In either case, a little "detective" work can save you time, money, give more successful results and keep you out of possible legal problems.

Why do you off Los Angeles Squirrel Trapping?:

Trapping for Western gray squirrels can only be done under permit issued by the California Department of Fish and Game. In order to apply for a permit, the owner or tenant of the land must prove that their property is being damaged or is in danger of being damaged by gray squirrels. Once the Department is satisfied that such damage has or will occur the Department will issue a revocable permit and it will specify the manner in which the animals can be controlled. If a trapping permit is issued it will specify the type of trap to be used and may require that the squirrels be relocated in parks or other non agricultural areas.

Natural Skunk Management:

Tree squirrels have a number of natural enemies that feed on and place pressures on squirrel populations. However, experience has shown that in many environments that have been altered by humans, natural predation does not control the squirrel population to levels that will prevent unacceptably high damage to property.

Exclusion of Skunks, how to keep them out:

Tree squirrels are good climbers and can be difficult to exclude. Hardware cloth and sheet metal can be used to close entrances into buildings. Squirrels can be prevented from climbing isolated specimen trees, bird feeders and power poles by encircling them with a two foot wide collar of sheet metal at least six feet off the ground. Trees should be trimmed back to prevent squirrels from jumping on to roofs.

Legal Status, what you can and cant do with squirrels:

Western gray squirrels are classified as game mammals under the Fish and Game Code and can be controlled only as provided by the hunting regulations or if causing damage to crops or property under special permit.

Eastern fox squirrels are also classified as game mammals, but if they are injuring crops or property can be controlled using traps and other means by the owner or tenant of the property or their employees, except that poisons may not be used.
