Desert rock squirrels are one of the most destructive wildlife pests in Cave Creek. They dig large burrows, damage landscaping, chew irrigation lines, undermine foundations, and attract rattlesnakes to their tunnels. Local Choice Pest & Landscape Nutrition provides professional, humane, and highly effective rock squirrel control designed specifically for Arizona’s desert environment.

We protect your property while respecting local wildlife and desert ecosystems.

Desert rock squirrels are large ground‑dwelling rodents commonly found in:

• Rock beds
• Retaining walls
• Under sheds and patios
• Around AC units
• Near foundations
• Along block walls
• Desert landscaping

They dig extensive burrow systems that can cause:

• Structural damage
• Erosion
• Plant destruction
• Irrigation leaks
• Increased rattlesnake activity

Early intervention is essential.

We identify:

• Active burrows
• Travel Zones 
• Tunnels and escape holes
• Feeding areas
• Structural risks
• Landscaping vulnerabilities
• Safety concerns for pets and children

This allows us to design a targeted removal plan.

We use safe, effective methods tailored to Arizona wildlife regulations.
Our approach focuses on:

• Eliminating active burrows
• Reducing population pressure
• Preventing re‑establishment
• Protecting pets, children, and desert wildlife

We never use methods that put non‑target animals at risk.

Once activity is controlled, we:

• Treat burrows
• Collapse tunnels
• Remove harborage zones
• Reduce soil instability

This prevents future occupation and protects your property.

We provide recommendations and optional services to reduce future activity:

• Rock bed adjustments
• Irrigation protection
• Plant selection guidance
• Exclusion around sheds, patios, and AC units
• Block wall and foundation sealing

Rock squirrels are persistent. We help keep them away with:

• Seasonal monitoring
• Follow‑up treatments
• Habitat modification
• Entry‑point sealing

We live here. We understand the wildlife here. We protect properties here.

Stop burrowing damage before it spreads.
