Where Gophers Can Cause Problems
Santa Barbara properties often have established gardens, planted areas, and irrigation systems that require regular maintenance. Gophers can move beneath these areas without being seen, leaving damage that may continue as new tunnels are created.
Fresh Soil Around the Garden
Mounds may appear near planting beds, walkways, or sections of lawn where the ground has recently been disturbed. We look at the newest activity to help determine where the gopher is working underground.
Damage to Roots and Irrigation
Plants that suddenly weaken or decline may have damage to their roots. Gopher tunneling can also disturb the soil around irrigation lines and underground landscaping. We check these areas to determine whether the damage is consistent with gopher activity.
Finding the Active Tunnel Before Treatment
Gopher service starts below the surface. We locate the active tunnel system and determine which method makes the most sense for your property. Treatment may involve trapping, carbon monoxide gas, or a combination of both.
Trapping Method
We locate an active tunnel and place a specialized trap inside where the gopher travels. This allows us to focus treatment on the affected area rather than disturbing large sections of your landscaping.
Carbon Monoxide Treatment
We introduce carbon monoxide gas into the underground tunnel system. This method treats gophers beneath the surface without using poison bait. We’ll determine whether it’s appropriate based on the tunnel location and surrounding conditions.
