What Is Professional Gopher Control?
Professional gopher control is a targeted approach to identify active tunnel systems and remove gophers using proven
strategies based on soil conditions, property layout, and activity patterns. The goal is to stop new mounds,
prevent repeated lawn damage, and reduce the chance of re-infestation.
Signs You May Have a Gopher Problem
• Fresh fan-shaped dirt mounds in the lawn or landscape beds
• Soft or sinking ground where tunnels run beneath the surface
• Damaged roots, wilting plants, or chewed vegetation near tunnel lines
• Uneven turf and recurring “new mounds” even after raking or leveling
• Activity along fences, planters, slopes, and irrigation zones
Gophers frequently tunnel along foundations and planter beds where irrigation keeps soil soft. Root systems are often severed underground before homeowners notice visible damage. Early control prevents repeated plant loss and soil instability near structural edges.
Why Gophers Are Common in Pasadena & the San Gabriel Valley
Gophers are common throughout the San Gabriel Valley due to landscaping, irrigation, soil conditions,
and available vegetation. Properties with lawn areas, garden beds, slopes, and consistent watering can attract
gophers because the soil is easier to tunnel and food sources are abundant underground.

Our Gopher Control Process
1) Site Assessment
We identify active mound patterns, likely tunnel routes, and high-probability activity zones to determine the best
control strategy for the property.
2) Targeted Removal Strategy
We apply a professional plan based on the property layout and activity patterns to remove the gopher(s) causing damage.
This focuses on effectiveness and minimizing repeated lawn disruption.
3) Follow-Up & Activity Verification
We verify reduction in new mounds and adjust the approach if needed, especially when multiple tunnel lines are present
or activity shifts to a new area of the yard.
4) Prevention Guidance
We provide practical guidance to reduce future activity risk, including attention to irrigation zones, landscape edges,
and areas where new tunnel systems often restart.
What Results You Can Expect
• Reduced and eliminated new gopher mounding
• Less lawn and landscape damage over time
• A clear plan to monitor and prevent repeat activity
• Guidance to protect high-risk zones (beds, slopes, irrigated areas)
Gopher Control Pricing: What Affects Cost?
• Size of the yard and number of active mound zones
• Severity of activity and how spread out the tunnels are
• Property layout (slopes, planters, irrigation zones, fence lines)
• Follow-up needs based on ongoing activity patterns

Gopher Control FAQs
What’s the difference between a gopher and a mole?
Gophers typically leave fan-shaped soil mounds and feed on roots and vegetation. Moles create raised surface ridges and primarily eat insects.
How do I know the gopher activity is current?
Fresh, moist mounds and repeated new mounds in the same zone are common signs of active tunneling.
Why do gophers keep coming back?
If nearby habitat and food sources remain available, new gophers may move into the area over time. Monitoring and prevention guidance help reduce recurrence.
How long does gopher control take?
Timelines vary based on activity level and property layout. Many properties show improvement quickly once the active tunnel system is addressed.
Will gopher tunneling damage my irrigation or landscaping?
Gopher tunnels can disrupt soil and roots and may affect landscaped areas. Early control helps reduce long-term damage.
Do you provide gopher control in Pasadena and nearby cities?
Yes. We serve Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley including Arcadia, Sierra Madre, San Marino, Temple City, and Monrovia.
Is gopher control safe around pets?
Service methods depend on the property and conditions. We can explain the approach and any precautions during scheduling.
What should I do before service?
It helps to avoid flattening fresh mounds right before an inspection so activity patterns are easier to identify.
Can you treat multiple gopher zones in one yard?
Yes. We evaluate activity across the property and target the areas with confirmed signs of tunneling.
Do gophers create health risks like rodents in attics?
Gophers primarily cause property and landscaping damage. If you suspect rodents in structures, our rodent control services can help.
