Gophers are a small furry rat like animal that dig and burrow tunnels just under the surface of your garden and landscape. Gophers create millions of dollars in damage and can destroy gardens overnight. If left un-treated they will destroy all the vegetation in your landscape and cause your garden to look like a desert.

We use gopher traps. Gopher trapping works 99.9% of the time and we know the gopher has been removed.
Most of the time gophers are a solitary animal, living in their large tunnel systems alone and defending it from other gophers. But during the mating season multiple gophers may be found in a single tunnel system. The mating season in the Southern California area is approximately November to about April.
