Our Approach

Guided by science. Perfected through experience.

1
Inspect

Our trained team begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify gopher activity. We examine soil mounds, assess the extent of burrowing, and determine the most effective approach for control. This step helps us uncover the root cause and key problem areas.

Plan

Based on the inspection findings, we develop a customized plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan outlines targeted strategies, including trapping or baiting, and includes preventive measures to protect your property from further damage.

3
Execute

We implement a proven approach for safe and effective gopher control. Traps are placed in main tunnels and securely covered for maximum effectiveness, while bait is strategically applied to target active populations. Our technicians use probes to accurately locate burrows and ensure precise treatment.

4
Monitor

Following the initial treatment, we continuously monitor the property for signs of new gopher activity. Regular follow-ups allow us to adapt our strategies as needed, ensuring long-term protection and keeping your property safe from future damage.

Valley Pocket Gopher

Common across the state, particularly in valleys, grasslands, and agricultural areas. Often encountered in residential yards, parks, and commercial landscapes.

Moderate – While not directly harmful to humans, gophers cause extensive property damage. Their burrowing can undermine landscaping, destroy crops, damage irrigation systems, and create tripping hazards.

Medium-sized rodent with fur-lined cheek pouches for carrying food. Fur color ranges from light brown to dark gray, blending with the surrounding soil. Adults are typically 6–10 inches long, including the tail.

Found in loose, fertile soils where burrowing is easy. Prefers grassy areas, gardens, agricultural fields, and even urban landscaping. Creates complex underground tunnel systems with multiple chambers for nesting, food storage, and waste.

Solitary and territorial, spending almost their entire lives underground. Feeds on roots, bulbs, and other vegetation, pulling plants into their tunnels from the surface. Gophers are active year-round and do not hibernate, making them a persistent issue.

A single gopher can move up to one ton of soil annually while digging its tunnels. Their teeth grow continuously, allowing them to chew through tough roots. Despite being pests, they play a role in soil aeration and nutrient cycling.
