The Squirrel Guy & Squirrel Lady

"Hey! You're the Squirrel People!"

It's been 5 years since someone first called Mike and I that at a school facilities conference. We weren't quite sure how to react - at least they knew who we were.

Now we are used to being the Squirrel People. Mike is the Squirrel Guy that builds our patented Burrow Blocker and directs the Burrow Blocker service team. You'll also see Mike with Pepper, his black lab, in our videos and flyers.

I am the Squirrel Lady that you'll find at PAPA Seminars, County Ag and AgSafe classes, providing continuing education for pest control licensing. Contact me if you want to learn more about ground squirrels and organic ways to deal with them or if you want to learn how the Burrow Blocker machine can solve your ground squirrel or prairie dog problems.

Lisa & Sedona

My brother, Mike Tikalsky, and our Dad, John, invented and patented the Burrow Blocker machine. We have a family ranch in beautiful Northern California that's home to horses, llamas, pygmy goats, cows, sheep, dogs and cats - and it used to have a booming ground squirrel population. Keeping our horses and family safe from ground squirrels and their holes motivated the invention the Burrow Blocker.

Organic Green Solution to burrowing rodents

The Burrow Blocker machine is now used at airports, schools, athletic fields, colleges, business parks, ranches, organic farms, orchards, housing developments, refineries, campgrounds, and city, county & state parks throughout the United States.

Please call (925) 634-9204 or email me to learn more about Burrow Blocker or to talk about ground squirrels.

Another option is visiting me in person. If you need California DPR continuing education units, I'll be speaking at the upcoming PAPA Seminars:

Is it a Ground Squirrel or a Gopher?

Do you know the difference between a Gr ound Squirrel and a Gopher ? If you are battling burrowing rodents on your property, after awhile you might just start channeling Carl Spackler, Bill Murray's character in the movie, Caddyshack. Remember when Sandy McFiddish, the head groundskeeper of the golf course told Carl, in his rich Scottish accent, "Carl, I want you to kill all the golfers on the golf course."? Carl replied, " Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers they'll lock me up and throw away the key." Sandy yelled, " Not golfers, you great fool! Gophers, rodents! THE LITTLE BROWN, FURRY THINGS!" Carl replied, "We can do that. We don't even need a reason." Remember that destructive dancing gopher in Caddyshack? (Be patient...it has a long intro.) Most of the people that visit this blog, do have a reason. They want those destructive diggers to just stop destroying ...
