Thirteen-lined ground squirrels
 

The population in my back yard has exploded.
I live in northern Illinois, and I they they are hibernating now.

Should I run a hose out there and try to drown them, or will they just
wake up and run away?

And out of curiousity, when they burrow, do they carry the dirt away
and deposit it in the same location? I found a mysterious pile of dirt
in the yard.

Wait until they wake up and shoot them.



Hit 'em at dawn before the *******s expect it.

Careful! w_tom is going to jump in about his
philosophy / religion about using 13 EGCs for earthing squirrels.

Squirrels don't hibernate and they don't dug holes. They build nests
high in the trees and hide food in various locations for winter food.
That's why some folks call them "tree rats."
