When Gophers Start Damaging Your Yard
Gophers spend most of their time underground, so you may notice the damage before you ever see one. Around Calabasas homes, activity can develop in lawns, landscaped areas, and properties bordering hillsides or open land.
Fresh Dirt Mounds
New piles of loose soil are often the first sign of gopher activity. One gopher can create several mounds while digging, so multiple piles don’t always mean you’re dealing with several animals.
Damage Below the Surface
Gophers feed on roots and can damage plants, shrubs, and underground irrigation lines. If you’re noticing plants declining or new mounds appearing, it’s worth having the area checked before the damage spreads.
For additional information about identifying gopher activity, visit the University of California’s Pocket Gopher Guide.
Choosing the Right Treatment for Your Property
We start by checking the affected areas to locate active tunnels and determine where treatment is needed. Depending on the property and the location of the burrows, we may use trapping, carbon monoxide treatment, or a combination of both.
Trapping Method
When trapping is appropriate, we locate active tunnels and place traps where gophers are moving underground. This allows us to work directly in the affected area without applying poison bait.
Carbon Monoxide Method
For locations where this treatment is permitted, we use our Gopher RX machine to introduce carbon monoxide into the burrow system. The gas travels through connected tunnels to treat gophers underground. This method does not require poison bait.
Post Treatment
Calabasas properties near hillsides and open spaces may experience new activity as other gophers move into the area. We’ll explain what to watch for after we complete the service and whether additional visits are recommended.
