When Gophers Start Damaging Your Landscape
Gophers spend most of their time underground, so the first signs are usually changes in the soil or plants. On Malibu properties, activity may develop in lawns, planting areas, or landscaped slopes.
Fresh Mounds and Underground Tunnels
New piles of soil often indicate where a gopher has been digging. We examine the location and pattern of the mounds to determine where the active tunnel system may be located.
Damage Around Plants and Irrigation
Gophers feed on roots and underground plant material. Their digging may also disturb irrigation lines and surrounding soil. We check these areas to determine how much of the landscape is affected.
How We Treat Gopher Activity
Once we locate the active tunnel system, we’ll recommend a treatment based on the burrow location and property conditions. Depending on what we find, service may involve trapping, carbon monoxide treatment, or both.
Gopher Trapping
We locate an active tunnel and place a specialized trap inside where the gopher travels. This allows us to target the animal underground without applying treatment throughout the surrounding landscape.
Carbon Monoxide Treatment
We use specialized equipment to introduce carbon monoxide gas into the active tunnel system. The treatment is directed underground, where the gopher lives and moves. We determine whether this method is suitable based on the tunnel location and surrounding conditions.
