Gopher Control in Northern California

Professional Gopher Control for Active Yard Damage

Gopher Team provides professional gopher control throughout Northern California using safe, underground trapping methods to stop active gopher damage and protect your landscape. Our experienced technicians identify gopher activity quickly and tailor treatment based on your property and location.

Gophers are burrowing rodents that feed on plant roots and create crescent-shaped mounds, often causing sudden lawn and landscape damage. Because gophers are native to California, long-term control requires targeted trapping and ongoing monitoring—not one-size-fits-all solutions.

How to Tell If Your Pest Is a Gopher

Signs You May Have a Gopher Problem

Crescent-shaped dirt mounds, dying plants, and sudden lawn damage are common signs of gopher activity.

Hidden Critters

Pocket Gophers

In Northern California, gophers are active year-round and typically live alone, which means even one gopher can cause noticeable damage. They live completely underground and feed on plants and their root systems. They are territorial creatures so it is quite uncommon to have a gopher infestation but every property is unique. Most often properties have only one to three active gophers.

Because they are native to the area it is difficult to completely prevent gophers from coming into your landscape, however, our control methods of trapping and baiting have been successful at keeping them at bay.

Gopher Control FAQs

Do you offer gopher control in my area?

Yes. Gopher Team provides gopher control services throughout Northern California. Our technicians are familiar with local soil conditions and landscape types, allowing us to tailor treatment for each property.

What’s the difference between gopher control and gopher removal?

Gopher removal refers to eliminating active gophers, while gopher control focuses on managing activity over time to prevent recurring damage. Our services combine targeted removal with ongoing monitoring when needed.

Are your gopher control methods safe for people and pets?

Yes. Our trapping methods are placed underground within gopher tunnel systems, keeping traps out of reach and minimizing risk to people, pets, and surface wildlife.

How long does gopher control take?

Every property is different. Some gopher problems resolve quickly, while others require ongoing visits to ensure all activity has stopped. Our technicians continue service until there is no evidence of new gopher activity.

What Homeowners Are Saying About Our Gopher Control Services

“We live on 3/4 acre in a rural area, and the gophers and moles just started taking over the property. Killing plants, everything. I met the technician on our first visit and he was really great, super nice, super helpful, and it was obvious when I walked the property with him he really knows his stuff. Highly recommend these guys if you’ve been fighting gopher damage and didn’t know what to do about it like me, CALL THESE GUYS! They’re fantastic.”

“This gopher service far surpasses the one I used to use. They are timely, their communication is good, their technicians are very nice and informative and really seem to know what they’re doing. I was very impressed with the service. I’m so glad I found them!”

“I highly recommend the GOPHER TEAM because they are a very responsive and professional company. I had waited much too long after repeated replanting of my lawn and many of my flowers. Then the lovely gophers were attacking my dwarf Meyer lemon tree. That was the last straw! The gopher activity stopped after a couple of traps were set. Now I know that when I see any gopher activity I will call them back immediately! They are very courteous, responsive, competent, excellent company. Don’t wait as long as I did to get the gophers away from your garden.”

Our Gopher Trapping Methods

Safe and secure

Our one time service is a trapping only service which entails us placing our traps within the gopher tunnel system underground, this means that our traps do not pose risk to anyone on the surface. Our expert technicians will check the traps within 10 business days of the previous visit and will continue to do so until there is no longer evidence of any new activity. There is no set time limit for this service as every property is unique and we want to ensure that the activity is cleared up before we remove our traps.

We also offer a 30 day guarantee so if any new activity is seen within 30 days after we remove our traps you can let us know and we will come back out and waive our setup fee.
