Are ground squirrels bad to have around?

Ground squirrels are troublesome pests for homeowners and gardeners alike. They forage above ground for their food, usually within a 75-yard radius of their burrows. Since their diet revolves around green grasses and plants, a ground squirrel can do serious damage to a lawn or garden.

What diseases do ground squirrels carry?

Ground squirrels are associated with the spread of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, rat bite fever, tularemia, Chagas disease, adiospiromycosis, and encephalomycarditis. Notably, they can serve as reservoirs for sylvatic (bubonic) plague, a highly infectious disease caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis.

What is the pneumonic plague in California?
