Gophers Control
Geomyidae
Pocket gophers are burrowing rodents that create extensive underground tunnel systems. They are known for destroying lawns, gardens, and agricultural crops.
How to Identify Gophers
Proper identification is the first step in effective pest control. Gophers have distinct physical characteristics and behaviors that help distinguish them from other common household pests. Look for these key identifiers:
- Medium-sized rodents (6-10 inches long)
- Fur-lined cheek pouches (pockets) used to carry food
- Large front claws for digging
- Create crescent or horseshoe-shaped dirt mounds on the surface
Are Gophers Dangerous?
Gophers do not typically interact with humans. Their main danger is the severe damage they cause to underground utility cables, irrigation pipes, and the root systems of plants and trees.
Why Do I Have Gophers?
They are attracted to moist soil that is easy to dig and yards with plentiful vegetation, particularly those with fleshy roots, bulbs, and tubers.
How to Prevent Gophers
While professional treatment is often necessary for an active infestation, you can take proactive steps to make your property less attractive to Gophers:
