The potential for using elevated bait stations for California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi) control in endangered kangaroo rat habitat was evaluated. Laboratory and field studies identified two bait-station designs that excluded kangaroo rats while allowing access by California ground squirrels. Traditional bait stations can be easily modified, thereby providing landowners with a method of controlling ground squirrels that mitigates hazards to endangered kangaroo rats.
