Our Gopher Removal Process
Tunnel Survey
We map active tunnel systems and identify main burrow locations to target removal efforts precisely.
Strategic Trapping
Humane traps placed in active tunnels for efficient removal without harmful chemicals.
Exclusion Barriers
Underground wire mesh barriers installed to protect gardens, trees, and high-value landscaping.
Habitat Advice
We recommend landscape modifications that make your property less attractive to gophers long-term.
Why Gopher Removal Matters
Gophers may be small, but the damage they cause is significant. These burrowing rodents can destroy lawns, gardens, and landscaping in a matter of days, creating unsightly mounds and undermining the structural integrity of the ground.
Their tunnel systems can damage irrigation lines, underground cables, and even building foundations. Left unchecked, a gopher infestation can cost thousands of dollars in landscape and infrastructure repairs.
- Destroy lawns, gardens, and ornamental plantings
- Damage irrigation systems and underground utilities
- Undermine foundations, walkways, and retaining walls
- Create tripping hazards from tunnel collapses and mounds
- Attract predators like snakes to your property
The Hidden Costs of Gopher Damage
Gopher tunnels don't just ruin your lawn's appearance — they destroy irrigation systems, sever underground cables, and undermine foundations and walkways. A single gopher can move over a ton of soil per year, creating an extensive tunnel network. Broken irrigation lines lead to water waste and landscape die-off, while collapsed tunnels create tripping hazards and attract predators like snakes to your property.
