Gophers

Gopher Control Services

At Knott’s Pest Control, Inc., we understand the frustration and damage that gophers can cause to your property. These burrowing rodents are notorious for their extensive tunnel systems, which can undermine the stability of the ground, ruin lawns, and destroy valuable landscaping. Our gopher control services are designed to effectively address and manage these pests, ensuring the safety and aesthetics of your outdoor spaces.

Understanding Gophers Gophers are small, burrowing rodents, easily identified by their brown fur and large cheek pouches, which they use to carry food. They primarily feed on a variety of vegetation, often consuming underground portions of plants. Gophers are solitary creatures except during breeding season. The typical signs of a gopher infestation include mounds of freshly dug soil and damaged plants.

Our Approach to Gopher Control At Knott’s Pest Control, we use a variety of methods to control gopher populations effectively:

  • Trapping: One of the most effective ways to control gophers is through the strategic placement of traps in the tunnel systems. This method is safe for the environment and non-target species.
  • Baiting: We utilize specially formulated baits that are designed to attract and eliminate gophers. Our technicians are trained to apply these baits safely, minimizing any risk to other wildlife and pets.
  • Gassing: In some cases, where appropriate and legal, gassing can be used to address severe infestations. This method involves introducing a gas into the tunnel system to humanely eliminate the gophers.

Safety Measures We prioritize the safety of your family and pets. All our gopher control techniques are performed with the highest regard for safety and environmental impact. We carefully select our methods based on your specific situation, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily life and maximum protection for non-target species.

Preventive Advice In addition to our treatment services, we provide recommendations to help prevent future gopher infestations. This includes advice on landscaping practices that deter gophers and the installation of barriers to protect vulnerable areas of your garden or lawn.
