San Rafael homeowners take pride in their beautiful lawns, gardens, and landscaped outdoor spaces, but underground pest activity can quickly threaten that investment. Gopher Team provides professional pest control services in San Rafael, CA, helping homeowners eliminate gophers, moles, and voles before they cause extensive damage to lawns, planting beds, and ornamental landscapes.
Surrounded by hillsides, parks, and open space, San Rafael provides an ideal environment for burrowing rodents. During warmer months, these animals often move into irrigated residential landscapes in search of food and moisture. Whether you’re seeing fresh dirt mounds, raised tunnels, or unexplained plant damage, our team can identify the cause and recommend the right solution.
Are you seeing crescent-shaped piles of dirt appearing in your lawn or garden beds? Gophers are burrowing rodents that feed on plant roots and are one of the most common causes of underground landscape damage throughout San Rafael.
Our gopher control services focus on locating active tunnel systems and addressing the source of the problem to stop damage and reduce future activity.
If you’re noticing rounded dirt piles, raised ridges, or soft spots across your lawn, moles may be responsible. Unlike gophers, moles feed on insects and worms rather than plants, but their extensive tunneling can still damage lawns and landscaped areas.
Our mole control services help determine whether moles are active and recommend the most effective solution for your property.
If you’re finding small open holes in your lawn without dirt mounds, voles may be the cause. These small meadow mice often move through shallow runways while feeding on grasses and the base of plants, causing damage that can spread throughout the landscape.
Our vole control services help San Rafael homeowners identify vole activity early and prevent additional damage.

Gophers are the most common cause of dirt mounds and underground damage in San Rafael. Moles and voles can also be responsible depending on the type of damage you’re seeing.
Gopher mounds are typically crescent-shaped and pushed to one side of a tunnel opening. Mole mounds are rounder and are often accompanied by raised surface tunnels.
Surface tunnels without visible mounds are commonly caused by moles or voles traveling just beneath the lawn.
Yes. San Rafael’s mild climate allows underground pests to remain active throughout much of the year, with activity often increasing after rainfall.
If new mounds, tunnels, or plant damage continue appearing despite your efforts, it’s a good indication the problem is ongoing.
