Fresh Dirt Mounds

Gophers push excavated soil to the surface as they expand their underground tunnel systems. New mounds are one of the clearest signs of active gopher activity.

Are Gophers Tearing Up Your Yard?

KNOW THE SIGNS

Gophers spend most of their lives underground, so you may never actually see the animal causing the damage. What you will see is what they leave behind.

Damaged Plants

Gophers feed underground and can damage roots or pull entire plants below the surface.

Not sure whether you have gophers or another burrowing pest? We'll identify what's causing the damage.

Soft or Uneven Ground

Extensive tunneling can create soft areas and uneven ground beneath lawns and landscaped areas.

Irrigation Damage

Underground burrowing and chewing can damage irrigation lines and contribute to expensive landscape repairs.

1

Inspect

We examine the property for fresh mounds, feeding damage and other signs of current gopher activity.

OUR PROCESS

We Don't Just Treat the Mound.
We Find the Tunnel.

A dirt mound tells us where a gopher has been. The tunnel tells us where to solve the problem.

Effective gopher control starts by locating active underground runs and understanding how the animal is moving through your property.

2

Locate

We locate active underground tunnels rather than simply treating visible dirt piles.

3

Treat

We select an appropriate professional control method based on the property and the activity we find.

4

Recheck

We look for continued activity and address remaining active areas as needed.

Professional Trapping

Targeted traps can be placed directly inside active tunnel systems to control individual gophers without treating the entire yard.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

The Right Treatment for Your Property

There isn't one solution that's right for every gopher problem.

That's why we inspect first.

Burrow Treatment

When appropriate, professional burrow treatments can target gophers where they live—underground.

Integrated Gopher Control

Larger or more established infestations may require more than one control technique. We choose the approach based on what we actually find on your property.

The method may change. The goal doesn't.

WHY ACT EARLY

What Gophers Can Do to Your Yard

One gopher can create an extensive underground tunnel system. As activity continues, damage can spread into areas of your property that previously showed no signs of a problem.

Ignoring fresh activity can allow the damage to continue underground.

Soft or uneven ground

The sooner active tunnels are identified, the sooner the problem can be addressed before additional damage occurs.

Larger properties may require more inspection and treatment time.

Level of Activity

The amount of fresh gopher activity helps determine the extent of the problem.

Tunnel Complexity

Established tunnel systems may require additional time to locate and treat.
