Hayward sits near large areas of open space, which means burrowing rodents can easily move into residential neighborhoods.

Whether you’re seeing fresh dirt mounds, surface tunnels, or unexplained plant loss, we can help identify the issue and protect your outdoor space.
Gopher Control in Hayward
Are you seeing crescent-shaped piles of dirt or plants disappearing from your yard? Gophers are burrowing rodents that live underground and feed on plant roots. In Hayward, they are one of the most common causes of dirt mounds, dying plants, and unstable soil in lawns and garden beds.
Our gopher control services focus on locating active tunnels and addressing the source of the problem to stop damage and reduce future activity.
Mole Control in Hayward
If you’re seeing piles of dirt that look more like small, rounded hills, you may be dealing with moles. Unlike gophers, moles do not eat plants: they feed on insects and worms in the soil. However, their extensive tunneling can still cause significant damage to lawns and landscaped areas.
If you’re noticing raised ridges, soft spots, or uneven grass across your Hayward property, our mole control services can help determine whether moles are the cause and recommend the right approach.
Vole Control in Hayward
If you’re not seeing dirt mounds but instead notice small open holes or narrow trails in grassy areas, voles may be the issue. Voles are small meadow mice that often move into old gopher or mole tunnels and feed on grasses and the base of plants.
Our vole control services help Hayward homeowners stop damage early and prevent it from spreading throughout the yard.

Pest Control FAQs for Hayward Homeowners
What animal is digging up my yard in Hayward?
In Hayward, gophers are the most common cause of dirt mounds and underground damage in residential yards. Moles and voles can also be responsible, depending on the type of tunnels, holes, or plant damage you’re seeing.
What do gopher or mole mounds look like?
Gopher mounds are usually crescent-shaped and pushed to one side of a tunnel opening. Mole mounds tend to be more rounded and are often connected by raised surface tunnels across the lawn.
Why are there tunnels under my grass but no dirt mounds?
Surface tunnels without visible mounds are often caused by moles or voles. These animals travel just below the grass while searching for food, which can leave the lawn feeling soft or uneven.
Is it common to have gopher problems in Hayward year-round?
Yes. Hayward’s mild climate allows gophers and other underground animals to stay active throughout much of the year, although activity often increases after rainfall.
How do I know when it’s time to call a professional?
If new mounds, tunnels, or plant damage keep appearing despite DIY efforts, it’s a good sign the problem is ongoing. A professional can identify the animal involved and stop the damage at the source.
