Rodenator Service - Ground Burrowing Rodent Control for Gophers, Squirrels and Moles

The Rodenator is a chemical-free solution for ground-burrowing pests like gophers, squirrels and moles. The Rodenator combines a precisely measured combination of an oxygen and propane mixture that delivers a concussive force to the underground burrow systems of vertebrate pests. The Rodenator can also collapse the tunnel systems ensuring that new burrowing pests aren't able to easily move into the existing burrow systems.

Gopher Control Alternatives

AmeriGuard offers a variety of options for getting rid of gophers and squirrels. The Rodenator is perfect for open landscapes where a severe gopher problem exists. The Rodenator is also a great alternative for sensitive areas in which pesticides cannot be used, especially in organic farming, wine vineyards and horse ranch settings, among others. The Rodenator is an option for pesticide-free gopher treatment.


AmeriGuard recently completed a gopher inspection where we observed a severe infestation of gophers and an abundance of fresh gopher activity. Due to the open space provided by this property and the length of time of the gopher problem, we were able to use the Rodenator to provide a quick and effective knockdown of the gopher population.


We filmed some of the gopher service using the Rodenator. 




The Rodenator is considered an organic gopher control method, meaning that it is safe for use in organic farming settings. The Rodenator is an environmentally safe alternative to gopher baiting services.

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.
