Ground squirrels are most active during the day, usually from mid-morning to late afternoon, particularly on warm, sunny days.

How do I get rid of ground squirrels in my yard?

Install tall fencing or netting around gardens or bushes you don't want these animals getting into. Make sure the fencing goes at least a foot underground. Use motion sensor water sprinklers to scare squirrels away with water. Plant mint plants around your home to repel the ground squirrels.

What time of the day are squirrels most active?

Squirrels are most active early in the day as they scavenge for food, with a lull in activity during the warmest part of the day. You may also find them foraging in the early afternoon right up until dusk. Of course, this can vary depending on the species.
