Pocket gophers can dig networks of tunnels as far as 600 feet and spend their lives almost completely underground, which makes it a challenge for most homeowners to attempt getting rid of them with DIY methods. Most of these methods require significant time and work to locate all of the gophers’ tunnels and burrows and require handling poisonous substances. Traps can be effective, but you must wear protective equipment when emptying the trap and take the animals to a location far from your property.Calling a pest control technician with wildlife control experience is the best and most effective way to get rid of gophers. Our technicians can confirm that you have pocket gophers and not some other type of rodent (which may call for a different treatment) and create the extermination plan that’s best for you.
