Gophers are 6–10 inches long, varying in color and — for the most part — remain underground in their burrow system. Gophers are rarely seen above ground except when they’re relocating to a new area. These pests like to feed on roots and other vegetation while they are burrowing, and they can start to cause serious problems for your gardens, underground wiring, sprinkler systems, and any other underground resources. Contact High Country Pest Control to help with gopher removal if they have moved onto your property!
