Contact the Gopher Team
Sebastopol is known for its beautiful countryside, vineyards, orchards, gardens, and larger residential properties. While these landscapes make the area unique, they also create ideal conditions for gophers, moles, and voles.
Burrowing pests can cause significant damage to lawns, gardens, fruit trees, irrigation systems, and landscaped areas before many homeowners even realize a problem exists. Whether you’re seeing fresh dirt mounds, surface tunnels, or unexplained plant damage, Gopher Team can help identify the source of the activity and provide professional control services.
From rural residential properties to vineyard-adjacent homes and large landscaped lots in Sonoma County, we help Sebastopol homeowners protect the outdoor spaces they’ve worked hard to maintain.
Gopher Control in Sebastopol
Gophers are one of the most common underground pests found throughout Sebastopol. They create extensive tunnel systems beneath lawns, gardens, orchards, and landscaped areas while feeding on roots and underground plant material.
Common signs of gopher activity include:
- Crescent-shaped dirt mounds
• Plants being damaged at the root
• Young trees or shrubs showing signs of stress
• Missing or damaged garden plants
• Recurring mounds throughout the property
Because gophers spend most of their lives underground, significant damage can occur before the problem becomes obvious.
Our gopher control services focus on locating active tunnels and addressing the source of the activity to help reduce future damage.
Mole Control in Sebastopol
Moles are commonly found in areas with healthy soil and abundant insect populations. While they do not feed on plants, their tunneling activity can disrupt lawns, gardens, and landscape beds.
Common signs of mole activity include:
- Rounded dirt mounds
• Raised surface tunnels
• Soft or uneven areas beneath the lawn
• Increased activity in moist soil
• Extensive tunneling near landscaped areas
If you’re seeing ridges or tunnels beneath the surface of your lawn, moles may be responsible.
Vole Control in Sebastopol
Voles are small rodents that often take advantage of existing tunnel systems and dense vegetation. They feed on grasses, roots, bark, and other plant material, making them a concern for homeowners with gardens, orchards, and landscape plantings.
Common signs of vole activity include:
- Small open holes in the ground
• Narrow surface runways through grass
• Bark damage near the base of trees
• Chewed plants and vegetation
• Lawn damage without visible dirt mounds
Our vole control services help identify active populations and prevent further damage to your property.

Yes. Gophers feed on roots and underground plant material, which can damage gardens, ornamental landscaping, young trees, and other valuable plantings.
What is the difference between gopher, mole, and vole damage?
Gophers create crescent-shaped dirt mounds and feed on roots. Moles create raised tunnels and rounded mounds while feeding on insects. Voles leave small holes and surface runways and often chew on plants and bark.
Why do larger properties tend to have more burrowing pest activity?
Larger properties often provide more food sources, irrigation, vegetation, and undisturbed habitat for underground pests.
