Gophers can cause serious damage beneath the surface.

Gophers are burrowing rodents known for digging underground tunnel systems throughout lawns, gardens, landscaping, and open property areas. While they may be small, the damage they leave behind can quickly become a major headache. Their tunnels can disrupt grass, weaken soil, damage plant roots, and create unsightly mounds across your yard.

Because gophers spend most of their time underground, they can be difficult to spot until the damage is already visible. Fresh dirt mounds, raised tunnels, dying plants, and uneven ground are all signs that gophers may be active on your property. Left untreated, their tunnel systems can continue to expand, causing ongoing damage to lawns, flower beds, gardens, and landscaped areas.

Our gopher control service helps target active problem areas and reduce damage caused by burrowing activity. We identify signs of gopher movement, locate active tunnels, and provide treatment options designed to help protect your property from continued disruption.

How Gophers Impact Your Home & Property

Gophers can do more than leave behind messy dirt mounds. Their underground tunnels can damage root systems, loosen soil, and create weak spots throughout your lawn. This can lead to dying grass, damaged plants, uneven ground, and landscaping that becomes harder to maintain over time.

For homeowners and property owners, gopher activity can also create safety concerns. Soft or collapsed tunnel areas may become tripping hazards, especially in yards, walkways, gardens, and outdoor areas used by family, pets, or guests. The longer gophers remain active, the more extensive the tunnel system can become.

Why Gopher Control Requires Professional Treatment


Gophers are persistent pests that are not always easy to remove with basic DIY methods. Since they live and travel underground, surface-level solutions often fail to reach the actual problem. A visible mound may only be one small part of a much larger tunnel system.

Professional gopher control focuses on identifying active areas, targeting the burrow system, and helping prevent continued property damage. By addressing the source of the activity, treatment can help protect your lawn, landscaping, and outdoor spaces from ongoing disruption.
