Gophers are burrowing rodents that can cause extensive damage to lawns, gardens, and agricultural land. Their tunneling habits disrupt soil, kill plants, and create unsightly mounds across properties. Quick action is important, as gopher activity can spread rapidly and be difficult to manage without professional help.
Size: 15–30 cm long, weighing up to 1 kg
Color: Brown to gray fur with lighter underbellies
Features: Large front teeth, small eyes, and fur-lined cheek pouches for carrying food
Tunnels: Characterized by crescent- or horseshoe-shaped mounds of loose soil
Gophers live almost entirely underground in complex tunnel systems. They are commonly found in:
Lawns and gardens
Parks, golf courses, and fields
Farmland and orchards
Ditches, embankments, and open soil areas
Lawn Damage: Tunnels leave behind soil mounds that damage landscaping and create tripping hazards
Plant Destruction: Gophers feed on roots, bulbs, and tubers, killing flowers, shrubs, and crops
Irrigation Issues: Burrows can disrupt water lines and drainage systems
Rapid Spread: A single gopher can create hundreds of feet of tunnels in a short time
Fresh mounds of loose, fan-shaped soil across the yard
Damaged plants that appear to have been pulled underground
Raised ridges or soft spots in soil from active tunneling
Chewed irrigation lines or cables underground
Install underground fencing around gardens using mesh buried at least 2 feet deep
Keep vegetation trimmed and remove dense ground cover that offers shelter
Protect trees and shrubs with wire mesh barriers around the roots
Monitor properties regularly for fresh soil mounds and act quickly

We use a combination of methods to eliminate gophers, including burrow baiting, poison gas, fumigation, and trapping. These treatments target gophers directly in their tunnels and activity areas, while steps are taken to minimize risks to pets and non-target animals. Follow-up visits may be recommended for larger infestations.
If nearby properties have gophers, they may move back onto your land even after treatment. While our service will eliminate the gophers currently on your property, ongoing monitoring or follow-up treatments may be needed for long-term control. In some cases, coordinating treatment with neighbors provides the best results.
Yes. We take every precaution to keep treatments safe. Baits, poison gas, and fumigation are applied directly inside burrows where pets and children cannot access them, and traps are placed carefully in active tunnels. Our technicians always explain safety steps so you know when it’s safe to re-enter treated areas.
It’s normal to see fresh activity for a short time after treatment as remaining gophers move within their tunnel system. Our treatments are designed to work over several days, and results become more noticeable as the products take effect. If gopher activity continues beyond that period, additional applications or trapping may be recommended to ensure complete control.
