The American city of Minot, the fourth largest in North Dakota, is plagued by rodents. The Richardson ground squirrel has become an overpopulation problem, causing a number of problems. The animals dig burrows and cause damage to roads, sidewalks and lawns, where people risk tripping. Locals are at a loss as the ground squirrels have no natural predators in the city, unlike in the wild.
