Mill Valley homeowners invest heavily in maintaining beautiful landscapes that complement the area’s natural surroundings. Unfortunately, underground pest activity can quickly damage lawns, gardens, and ornamental plantings. Gopher Team provides professional pest control services in Mill Valley, CA, helping homeowners address gophers, moles, and voles before damage becomes more extensive.
Nestled against Mount Tamalpais and surrounded by parks and open space, Mill Valley provides ideal habitat for burrowing rodents. When nearby vegetation dries during warmer months, these animals often move into irrigated residential landscapes in search of food and water.
Are you seeing crescent-shaped dirt mounds appearing around your lawn or planting beds? Gophers feed on plant roots below the surface and are one of the leading causes of underground landscape damage throughout Mill Valley.
Our gopher control services focus on identifying active tunnel systems and addressing the source of the activity before additional damage occurs.
If your lawn has rounded dirt piles, raised ridges, or uneven areas, moles may be active beneath the surface. Although they feed on insects rather than plants, their tunneling can still damage established lawns and landscape beds.
Our mole control services help determine whether moles are responsible and recommend the appropriate solution.
What if you’re not seeing any pushed up mounds of dirt and instead your lawns are looking like Swiss cheese? This likely means you have voles. Unfortunately we are not able to offer our vole service in Marin County as we only offer a baiting service and Marin is very strict on pesticides.
Some Marin customers have found success using a product called “VoleX” but we always recommend checking with your local government to make sure it is ok to use. You can also find some helpful tips on dealing with voles in Marin here!

Surface tunnels without visible mounds are usually created by moles or voles traveling just beneath the lawn.
