Dig the hole out a little at opening to fit a set trap in and cover the opening a little. We laid a board across it to keep it out of sight from curious neighbor kids. Caught all of the ground squirrels that burrowed under our driveway this way. Worked slick. Jim Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

drasselt trapper D Joined: May 2010 Alaska	here's what some government advice is: Removal If other control methods have failed, thirteen-lined ground squirrels can be trapped and removed. A permit is not needed. Live traps baited with seed can be used to capture the animals. If you plan to release the squirrel, it is recommended that you release the squirrel five to 10 miles away. You will need written permission of the landowner before you release the squirrel. Rat-sized snap traps are efficient if ground squirrels are to be lethally removed. Nuisance wildlife control operators will trap and remove thirteen-lined ground squirrels for a fee. Franklin’s ground squirrels may not be removed without a special permit. https://www.wildlifeillinois.org/gallery/mammals/burrowing-wildlife/ground-squirrels/ you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out.

A weasel box with a rat trap baited with peanut butter and sunflower seeds works good for me also unless you have raccoons around. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

They fit on deck rails , on top (sometimes inside) gutters and can be fastened to the truck of a tree and tree limbs.
