When Gophers Start Damaging Your Yard
Gophers spend most of their time underground, so you may notice damage before seeing the animal itself. Fresh mounds and changes in your landscaping can help us determine where the activity is occurring.
Fresh Mounds and Tunnels
New piles of soil may appear in lawns, planting areas, or along landscaped sections of the property. We look at where the newest mounds are forming to help locate the active tunnel system.
Damage to Plants and Landscaping
Gophers feed on roots and other plant material below ground. This can cause plants to weaken or disappear and may also affect irrigation lines. We inspect the damaged areas before deciding where treatment should begin.
How We Treat Gophers
Treatment depends on the location of the active tunnels and the conditions around your property. We may recommend trapping, carbon monoxide treatment, or a combination of both.
Carbon Monoxide Treatment
We locate the active tunnel system and use specialized equipment to introduce carbon monoxide gas underground. This method treats the gopher inside its burrow system without relying on poison bait.
Gopher Trapping
When trapping is appropriate, we locate an active tunnel and place a trap directly inside. This allows us to target the gopher where it travels underground. We’ll explain whether additional visits may be needed.
