How to identify if you have gophers?
Pocket gophers are one of the most common outdoor rodents that plague homeowners. They are small, light brown, and rely on vegetation for food. They are well-known diggers who build tunnels and burrows underground. They use the tunnels to transport food back and forth from their burrows. The tunnel system can be a mere six to 12 inches underground, while nesting burrows can be as deep as six feet.
You may have gophers if:
- You find fresh dirt piles that are fan-shaped
- You see open and plugged holes in your yard that are around three inches in diameter
- Plants and trees are dying without an explanation
- You’re having trouble with underground utility lines and irrigation or sprinkler lines
Many people mistake moles and voles for gophers. Unlike gophers, moles do not eat plants, and instead of fan-shaped mounds of dirt, you will find circular mounds that are symmetrical. Meanwhile, voles create small holes in your yard but do not leave piles at all. The first step in dealing with outdoor rodents is identifying what type you have. Our gopher removal specialists will inspect your property and determine which pest you’re dealing with, providing you with the best gopher extermination plan for your situation.
HOW TO REMOVE GOPHERS IN YOUR HOME
Unlike other pests, gophers can come and go. They may be very active in your yard, and then you may have a period where they appear to be gone. However, once they are established, they are likely to come back unless you work to eradicate them. You may also be surprised to learn that, outside of the breeding season, gophers are more solitary than many other household pests, and just one gopher can create a tunnel system may have up to 100 gophers and may stretch 200 yards.
There are several methods for gopher removal, including:
- Baiting
- Carbon monoxide treatment
- Trapping
The nature of your situation will determine what the best gopher extermination method is. Most methods require more than one visit to ensure that the problem is handled effectively.

Gophers Services
Trapping + Baiting
Our trapping and baiting service uses a combination of ingestible gopher bait and metal traps. The bait is injected directly into the rodents’ tunnel system for them to find and eat. And metal traps are inserted into the tunnels to eliminate the gophers on contact. This proven method is perfect for knocking out any gopher issue in your yard.This method is good for those seeking a physical confirmation that the gophers are being eliminated. The downside is that the traps only eliminate one gopher at a time, per trap. So it can take longer to achieve full elimination depending on the size of the colony.
Carbon Monoxide Treatment
Our carbon monoxide treatment floods the gophers’ tunnel system with carbon monoxide gas, swiftly eliminating the gophers’ oxygen supply. They simply go to sleep… forever. Plus, the carbon monoxide smoke helps identify additional gopher holes as it escapes from the ground. This simple and easy method provides long term results without disturbing your yard. This method is good for those who wish to eliminate gophers at a faster pace by eliminating several gophers at a time. Though there is no physical confirmation of their elimination, the proof is in the lack of new mounds being built in your yard.
Long Term (Monthly Recurring)
Because the gophers in your yard aren’t the only ones in the tunnel, we offer ongoing gopher protection. Using a combination of trapping, baiting, and carbon monoxide gas, we help you maintain a gopher free yard.
We recommend this service to everyone that has had gophers. There can be over 100 gophers in a tunnel system and that means they will keep coming back. Eliminate them regularly and you will protect your yard and your ankles!
