Heavy Gopher Inspection

Gopher Control

Southwest Riverside County

Gopher problems can range in severity between mild, moderate and severe. In some instances, a gopher inspection is recommended before AmeriGuard Pest Defense can provide a gopher control quote. 


In these examples, an ongoing gopher problem had infested this landscaped area for awhile. The nearby fields have been supplying these yards with a constant supply of gophers and combined with the recent rainfall, the irrigated lawn provided the optimum condition for gophers to dig and dig and dig.



Gopher Inspection

As we walked this property, our licensed Agricultural Specialist noted the range of gopher activity and differentiated the older gopher activity from the freshest and newest gopher mounds.

Gopher Fan-Shaped Mound
Gophers create fan-shaped mounds from lateral tunnels.

Gopher Damage
Gopher mounds can range in shape and size.

Severe Gopher Activity
A single gopher can push up 1-3 mounds per day.

Gopher Service

The severity and location of this particular property makes it a perfect candidate for the Rodenator service. The Rodenator service is recommended for the initial service to achieve a quick knockdown of the existing gopher population and to destroy and collapse all existing gopher tunnel systems. Once this service is completed, ongoing maintenance will be necessary to ensure that the population does not grow this large again. Due to the neighboring fields, monthly maintenance is advised.
