Even Marley knows better not to eat ground squirrels. On the other hand, she’ll eat Cotton Tail rabbits like candy…
 
Luckily some (maybe most) fall back into their holes. I leave them there.

The ones I have to retrieve, I put them in a plastic trash bag and deposit it in the trash.

By the way, I had some under the concrete pad my shed sits on. I also have birddogs, the dogs wouldn't leave the holes alone.

Every dog became infected with stick tight fleas https://www.veterinaryentomology.org/sticktight-flea. This is what started my war with ground squirrels.
