When Gophers Start Moving Through Your Yard
Gophers spend most of their time underground, digging tunnels and feeding on plant roots. Around Santa Clarita properties, activity may appear in maintained lawns, planting areas, or along landscaped sections near hillsides and open land.
New Dirt Mounds in the Lawn
Fresh piles of soil are often the first sign of a gopher problem. You may notice several mounds appearing over a short period, even though you never see the animal. We examine the newer mounds to help locate the active tunnel system.
Plant Roots Chewed Through
Gophers can chew through plant roots underground, causing plants to weaken, wilt, or die. Their tunneling may also damage irrigation lines and disturb the surrounding soil. We look for fresh mounds and active tunnels near damaged plants to determine whether gophers are causing the problem.
How We Approach Gopher Treatment
Once we’ve located the active tunnel system, we’ll explain which treatment makes sense for your property. Depending on the location and conditions, we may use trapping, carbon monoxide treatment, or a combination of both.
Trapping Inside Active Tunnels
We locate the underground tunnel and place a GopherHawk trap where the gopher travels. This method allows us to target the activity without treating the entire yard or disturbing large sections of landscaping.
Carbon Monoxide Treatment
Our Gopher RX equipment introduces carbon monoxide gas into the active tunnel system. The treatment works underground, where the gopher lives and moves. We’ll determine whether this method is suitable based on the tunnel location and surrounding conditions.
