Pocket Gophers
Pocket gophers are ground-dwelling rodents. They are brownish grey in color and store food in their cheek pockets. These animals build tunnel systems that can destroy yards and gardens. Gophers burrow underground and build elaborate tunnel systems. Their presence is usually discovered when mounds appear in the soil around gardens and lawns. They feed on fruits, vegetables, plants, roots, and grubs. Gophers use their cheek pockets to transport large amounts of food back to their burrow. Gophers are generally solitary creatures that defend their burrow systems aggressively. During breeding season, however, males and females may share the nests if their tunnel systems neighbor each other. Gophers damage lawns, forests, farms, and gardens. A gopher’s tunnel system can destroy sprinkler systems, utility cables, and structural foundations in a matter of weeks.
Gopher Control & Removal
You’ve spent money, time, and energy on landscaping your yard only to have that hard work undermined by a gopher infestation. Mounds of fresh soil are the first indication of a gopher problem. Gophers form fan-shaped mounds as they dig tunnels and push loose dirt to the surface. Gophers feed on plants, roots, gardens, and vegetation. They can also destroy underground irrigation lines, utility cables, and sprinkler systems, as well as produce faulty grades costing homeowners money, unnecessary stress, and damage.

Why DIY Gopher Removal Doesn't Work
Homeowners often report trying several at-home or over-the-counter methods before finally calling us. By this point, homeowners are exasperated and defeated in the personal war being fought in their beautifully landscaped yards. We hear stories of homeowners shoving sticks of wintergreen gum into gopher holes, using garden hoses in an attempt to drown the gophers, pouring coffee into gopher mounds, and even using human urine! All of these failed attempts do nothing more than prolong the treatment, while the gophers continue to dig - sometimes up to 3 mounds a day per gopher.
If you're not having any luck with the gopher bait available at your local hardware store, the problem could be with the application methods. For example, the bait may not be in the correct location. Baits available to consumers are often "watered-down" and require multiple feedings to kill each gopher. As gophers feed on these inferior baits, they sense the effects and tend to become "bait shy." The gophers will avoid future feedings, and control cannot be reached because one feeding is not enough to provide a lethal dose.
Gopher Control Service
The best method to treat gophers is a combination of exclusion work and removal. Neighborly Pest Control recommends beginning a preventative pest maintenance program to prevent gophers from returning. We offer bi-monthly, quarterly, and one-time services.
