Professional Gopher & Rodent Control
Protect your landscape and property from destructive burrowing rodents with science-based control methods.
Gopher Control Programs
Humane Trapping (Primary Method)
Trapping is our preferred method for gopher control. It's effective, humane, and eliminates concerns about secondary risks to predators like owls, hawks, and coyotes.
Our technicians are skilled in locating active tunnels and placing traps where they'll be most effective. We use professional-grade traps designed for quick, humane results.
- ✓ No toxic baits that could harm wildlife
- ✓ Immediate results when traps are properly placed
- ✓ Regular monitoring and trap adjustment
Behavior-Modification Approach
For properties where trapping alone isn't sufficient, or as a complementary approach, we offer behavior-modification using Penergetic technology.
Learn more about our non-toxic Penergetic Wildlife Deterrent program that encourages gophers to relocate without harmful chemicals.
What We Manage
Our rodent control programs address a variety of burrowing and structural pests:
Gophers
Pocket gophers that damage lawns, gardens, and root systems
Ground Squirrels
Burrowing rodents that create extensive tunnel networks
Voles
Small rodents that damage turf and eat plant roots
Rats
Roof rats and Norway rats in structures and landscapes
Mice
House mice and field mice invading buildings
Rat & Mouse Management
Rats and mice in structures pose health risks and can cause significant property damage through gnawing on wires, insulation, and structural materials.
Our approach combines:
- 1. Inspection & Assessment: Identify entry points, nesting areas, and food sources
- 2. Exclusion: Seal entry points to prevent access
- 3. Population Reduction: Strategic trapping and, when necessary, targeted bait stations
- 4. Prevention: Remove attractants and modify habitat to discourage return
When bait stations are necessary, we use tamper-resistant stations and placement strategies that minimize risk to non-target animals.
Ground Squirrel Programs
Ground squirrels create extensive burrow systems that can undermine foundations, damage irrigation systems, and create hazards for livestock and equipment.
Our ground squirrel management programs are tailored to the scale of the infestation and the specific needs of your property. Options include:
- ✓ Burrow fumigation in certain circumstances for active colonies
- ✓ Trapping programs for smaller populations
- ✓ Habitat modification to reduce attractiveness
- ✓ Ongoing monitoring to prevent re-establishment
Signs of Activity
Why Our Programs Work
Species-Specific Strategies
Different rodents require different approaches. We match our methods to the target species for maximum effectiveness.
Humane Methods First
We prioritize trapping and behavior modification methods that are effective without relying on chemical products.
Environmental Responsibility
Our methods protect non-target wildlife and avoid secondary risks to beneficial predators.
Root Cause Focus
We identify what's attracting rodents and address those conditions to prevent recurrence.
Ongoing Monitoring
Regular checks ensure early detection of new activity before populations establish.
